DZ23C15-G3-18

The DZ23C15-G3-18 is a diode array found in a variety of industrial, automotive and telecom applications. The diode array is classified as a Zener Array, and is made up of four discrete Zener diodes in a single package. This diode array has a maximum peak forward power dissipation of 0.5W and each Zener diode has a maximum DC reverse voltage rating of 18V.

This diode array is an excellent choice for power management applications, such as voltage stabilization, in commercial, automotive and industrial applications. In this application, it is used to protect against electric arcing or power interference. It acts as an electric firewall and helps to reduce EMI (electromagnetic interference) from electric devices. Moreover, it helps to regulate the voltage of a power supply and prevent it from over-voltage surges.

When a positive voltage is applied to the DZ23C15-G3-18, the Zener diodes in the array begin to conduct current. This current flows through the Zener diodes in the same direction. This action, known as clamping, prevents the voltage from exceeding the threshold of the Zener diode. The diode array also includes a level-shifting function which can be used to generate a higher voltage from a lower voltage source.

The DZ23C15-G3-18 also provides protection against electric arcs and over-current events. It helps to protect components and sensors against electrical noise and over-voltages. This diode array is ideal for applications that require low-power, high-current switching, as well as AC or DC control signals.

The DZ23C15-G3-18 diode array is constructed using a series of metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs). The MOSFETs are used to control the flow of current through the array, helping to regulate the voltage and ensure that it stays within the desired range. The array also includes built-in protection from ESD (electrostatic discharge) and EMI, making it an ideal choice for applications in which a reliable and robust power supply is required.

Overall, the DZ23C15-G3-18 diode array is a highly reliable and versatile solution for a variety of power management applications. It is able to withstand high-voltage transients and provide accurate, low-power and high-current control. This makes it an ideal choice for automotive, industrial and telecom applications.
