DDZ27CSF-7 Discrete Semiconductor Products

The DDZ27CSF-7 is a single zener diode, designed for use in a variety of applications. It is a medium voltage breakdown device with a breakdown voltage of 27 volts and a power dissipation rating of 0.5 watts. This diode has a very low leakage current and is ideal for use in applications that require a low voltage drop and have a limited power supply. It is also suitable for clamping applications where the diode is used to provide a short circuit current limit.

The device has a dual purpose reverse bias diode, which serves both to provide a stable reverse bias and protection when used in AC applications. The device has a breakdown voltage of 27 volts and a maximum forward current of 100 mA, which makes it ideal for use in applications that require a small amount of current to be drawn from the power supply, such as in LED drivers or other low voltage circuits. The device also has a low reverse leakage current of 25 nA, which helps to reduce the power consumption in AC applications.

The working principle of the DDZ27CSF-7 is fairly simple. When the device is forward biased, the anode voltage is greater than the cathode voltage, allowing a small current to flow. This current is limited by the operating voltage and the power dissipation rating. As the current increases, so does the voltage drop across the diode, until the voltage drop is equal to the breakdown voltage of the device. At this point, the diode will break down and pass a higher current, which is limited by the power dissipation rating. This current will continue to increase until the limited power supply voltage is reached, at which point the diode is said to be in the zener breakdown region.

The DDZ27CSF-7 has many possible applications in a wide range of industries. It is ideally suited for providing protection from overvoltages in AC andDC applications such as power supplies, circuits that use constant voltage sources, offices, and the military. It is also used in LED drivers and LED assemblies, in order to limit the current and protect the circuit from short-circuits. Additionally, it is often used as a voltage clamp in clamping applications, as it will limit the current and protect the circuit.

In summary, the DDZ27CSF-7 is a single zener diode with a breakdown voltage of 27 volts and a power dissipation rating of 0.5 watts. It has a very low leakage current, making it ideal for applications that require a low voltage drop and limited power supply. It is suitable for use in a wide range of applications, from power supplies and LED drivers to office and military applications, and can be used as a voltage clamp in clamping applications.
