CZRT5228B-G

The CZRT5228B-G diode is an advanced single Zener diode, suitable for a range of applications. It is one of the leading products in its class, thanks to its advanced features and exceptional performance.

This diode has a split anode construction and uses advanced dielectric materials, which provide superior conduction and improved circuit performance. The CZRT5228B-G provides voltage-stabilizing, reverse-conducting and power-limiting functions. It is typically used in pre-amps, DC and audio signal amplifiers, frequency multipliers and relays, and is also suitable for use in other applications.

The operating principle of the CZRT5228B-G diode is based on its Zener breakdown characteristics. The diode has a normal forward conduction and an inverse Zener breakdown voltage. When the current across the diode reaches the Zener breakdown voltage, the voltage across the diode is constant, regardless of any further increases in current. This stabilized voltage is referred to as the Zener voltage.

The operating characteristics of the diode depend upon the Zener breakdown voltage and the junction capacitance. The Zener breakdown voltage is determined by the doping concentration and applied reverse bias voltage. The junction capacitance, on the other hand, is determined by the combination of dielectric material and geometry used for the PN-junction.

The CZRT5228B-G diode is designed to operate with very low leakage current. Its low ±10% tolerance makes this diode ideal for applications requiring precise voltage regulation. The diode also features an excellent power dissipation – an essential factor for devices in the audio-signal path.

The CZRT5228B-G provides an ideal solution for a variety of applications requiring voltage-stabilizing, current-limiting and reverse-conducting functions. Its low leakage current and excellent power dissipation make it suitable for high-quality professional audio equipment, audio amplifiers and frequency multipliers. This versatile diode is also applicable to a range of other applications, such as voltage regulation, sensing circuits, logic-circuit protection and switching regulators.
