DZ23C11-G3-18

The DZ23C11-G3-18 is an 18-pin diode array produced by Diodes Inc. It has a wide variety of applications and is suitable for use in both digital and analog circuits. The DZ23C11-G3-18 utilizes a combination of three Schottky barrier diodes and a voltage regulator, allowing for more precise voltage regulation than other diode arrays.

One of the most common applications for the DZ23C11-G3-18 is in power supplies. The diode array can be used to provide over-voltage protection, allowing power supplies to remain stable even when faced with higher input voltages. It can also be used to limit the output current of power supplies, ensuring that the output voltage remains within safe limits.

The DZ23C11-G3-18 can also be used in automotive applications. It can be used to provide in-line over-voltage protection as well as reverse-voltage protection on automotive circuits. This allows automotive electronics to remain stable even when faced with environments that pose extreme levels of interference.

The working principle behind the DZ23C11-G3-18 is relatively simple. When an over-voltage condition exists, the Schottky barrier diodes come into play, preventing the output of the power supply from exceeding a certain level. The voltage regulator then takes over, regulating the output voltage to within a specified range. At the same time, reverse-voltage protection is provided, ensuring that the output voltage remains within a safe range even in the presence of automotive interference.

Overall, the DZ23C11-G3-18 is an excellent diode array for a variety of different applications. It can be used in power supplies, automotive applications, and any other application where precise voltage regulation is required. The array\'s combination of Schottky barrier diodes and a voltage regulator make it a reliable and robust solution for any application where over-voltage and reverse-voltage protection are needed.
