Diodes - Zener - Single: DDZ9697T-7 Application Field and Working Principle

In the world of electronics, one of the more common SCRs used is the DDZ9697T-7 Zener diode. This type of diode serves an important role in regulating voltage in a circuit. It allows: current to be diverted away from sensitive components, and enables the efficient usage of the circuit components. A Zener diode is a semiconductor made up of two types of materials – n-type (negative) and p-type (positive) – placed in a diode. The diode assigned to the DDZ9697T-7 is a single Zener diode with reverse bias voltage to protect a voltage regulator from being damaged. The DDZ9697T-7 is composed of a cathode (K) and an anode (A) and is molded in a lead-frame of an epoxy package. This semiconductor has a maximum ratings of 70 volts Vz (Zener Voltage) with a Zener current of 200mA Iz (Zener Current). It has an operating temperature range of -65C - +175C (TJ), and a storage temperature range of -65C - +175C (Tstg). The power dissipation of this diode is 0.7 watts (Power Dissipation). This diode is used as a voltage regulator in circuits and is used to protect sensitive components that require a specific voltage. It works by isolating the components in a circuit, so that they are not damaged when a large surge of current, or a voltage drop, occurs. When a reverse bias voltage is applied to the DDZ9697T-7, the current passes through the anode (A) and then through the Zener diode. This process causes a drop in voltage across the diode and the current gets limited. Any excess current is diverted away from the diode and does not flow into the other components of the circuit. To protect against a voltage drop, the diode has a reverse breakdown voltage. This ensures that the voltage does not drop down to a level where it can damage the components.The Zener diode can also be used as a way to protect a circuit from voltage overshoot. This is achieved by having the Zener and the other components of the circuit connected in parallel. When a large surge of current is applied to the diode, the diode will reduce the amount of current reaching the other components. In summary, the DDZ9697T-7 diode is a single Zener diode which is used as a voltage regulator in circuits to protect sensitive components. It works by limiting the current passing through it and diverting any excess current away from the other components. It also provides protection against voltage overshoot and voltage drop. It is comprised of a cathode and an anode, with a maximum ratings of 70 volts, Zener Current of 200mA, and a power dissipation of 0.7 watts.
