DZ23C43-E3-18 Discrete Semiconductor Products

Diodes are the basic building blocks of all types of electronic circuits. Zener arrays are a type of diode array that is used to create regulated voltages. The DZ23C43-E3-18 is a zener array that contains five individual zener diodes in a single package.

Application Field

The DZ23C43-E3-18 is designed for use in multiple voltage level applications, such as voltage control in a power supply or voltage regulation in an audio circuit. The diodes have low forward voltages, low capacitance, and high reliability, making them suitable for use in a variety of systems. Additionally, the diodes are lead-free and meet RoHS requirements, making them an environmentally friendly choice.

Working Principle

A zener array works similarly to a single zener diode, the primary difference being that the array contains multiple diodes. The diodes are connected in series and act together to regulate the voltage. When a voltage is applied to the array, each diode’s voltage drops until the total voltage across the array equals the applied voltage. The individual diodes’ voltages do not necessarily need to be the same, but the total voltage will still be the same.

The DZ23C43-E3-18 has individual zener diodes with breakdown voltages of 3.3 V, 5.1 V, 7.5 V, 9.1 V, and 18 V, respectively. This allows it to be used in multiple voltage level applications. The diodes also feature low forward voltage drops and low capacitance, making them an ideal solution for voltage control and regulation.

Conclusion

The DZ23C43-E3-18 is an ideal solution for voltage control and regulation in a variety of applications. The array contains five individual zener diodes with breakdown voltages ranging from 3.3 V to 18 V, allowing it to be used in multiple voltage level applications. Additionally, the diodes feature low forward voltage drops and low capacitance, making them a reliable choice for voltage control and regulation.
