CZRFR52C2V2

A Zener diode is a semiconductor device that is specifically designed to allow current to flow in either direction and block voltage higher than a specified breakdown voltage. The CZRFR52C2V2 is a single Zener diode specifically designed to meet the demands of the low-voltage circuit requirements. This device was specifically created to protect circuits, clamp noise, stabilize voltage and regulate current in a variety of applications.

Application Field

The CZRFR52C2V2 Zener diode offers a number of capabilities for an array of applications. This diode can be used in portable electronics, DC/DC converters, automotive and high-voltage circuits, and more. For example, a secure direct current supply can be created by using an LD1117 voltage regulator, CZRFR52C2V2 Zener diode and an AH2200 Schottky rectifier. This type of supply ensures that the load current does not exceed the input voltage, preventing damage to the system.

CZRFR52C2V2 Zener diode is also applied in multiple applications like as a clamp circuit to reduce voltage spikes, and it can also be used as a reference voltage. The same circuit can be used in a shunt regulator to control maximum potential and maintain static levels in DC/DC converters.

Working Principle

When current passes through the CZRFR52C2V2 Zener diode, a reverse breakdown voltage appears. This breakdown voltage is relatively stable even when the CZRFR52C2V2 is faced with large temperature changes, so it performs better than other diodes. If a current exceeding a specific value passes through the diode, the generated voltage passes through the breakdown voltage and the current passes through the diode.

When the diode is reverse biased, its current is zero. As the bias voltage increases, the current rises until the Breakdown Voltage is reached. The breakdown voltage is set at 2.4V for CZRFR52C2V2. When the Breakdown Voltage is reached, the current will increase greatly which causes the diode to become a low resistance path. This allows current to pass through the diode in a controlled manner.

Conclusion

The CZRFR52C2V2 Zener diode is an ideal choice for low-voltage circuit applications. Its low-Breakdown Voltage and low forward voltage drop make it a perfect solution for numerous projects, ranging from clamp circuits and voltage references to secure DC power supplies. Thanks to its precision and accuracy, the CZRFR52C2V2 can provide a stable and reliable performance in any case.
