Diodes - Zener - Single: DDZ9682-7

The DDZ9682-7 is an example of a Single Zener Diode developed by Diodes Incorporated for various industrial and consumer applications. This device is a voltage-regulating diode in which breakdown occurs at a specific reverse voltage. The silicon planar construction of the device offers superior temperature stability and a low power loss design that is suitable for applications requiring a low forward voltage drop.The DDZ9682-7 is typically used in regulator, voltage reference, and voltage clamping applications. It can be used in both simple clamping and protection circuits where its low capacitance makes it suitable for switching or pulse-width modulation applications. The device also has a wide range of its operating parameters, including maximum power dissipation, reverse voltage, absolute maximum junction temperature and forward current. The ability to regulate voltage is due to the junctions formed between the various semiconductor layers. A depletion layer is formed when a voltage is applied in the reverse direction and electrons from the n-type region are attracted towards the p-type region. As more voltage is applied, this region of electrons in the depletion layer increases, and when this voltage reaches a specific value, the junction breaks down and current begins to flow, thus limiting the applied voltage. The precise breakdown voltage of the DDZ9682-7 is achieved through the precise doping levels of the junction layers in order to attain a specific zener voltage. The device also has a low power loss design, enabling efficient operation of the device in a wide range of conditions. Overall, due to its low capacitance and high breakdown voltage of the DDZ9682-7, it is an ideal choice for applications where precise voltages and currents need to be regulated. Due to its high efficiency, this device can be used in a variety of devices, ranging from consumer electronics to industrial machinery.
