DZ2J047M0L

DZ2J047M0L is a single Zener diode manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. A Zener diode is a diode designed to allow a large current when the voltage across it is reversed to a specified value, known as the Zener voltage.

Application field

The DZ2J047M0L is typically used as a voltage regulator. One of the most common applications of Zener diodes is in electrical circuits where a certain voltage level needs to be maintained in order to operate correctly. Zener diodes can be used to convert an unregulated voltage to a regulated voltage, providing protection against voltage spikes.

In addition, DZ2J047M0L can be used for switching applications, for protection against strong electric fields, and to provide local voltage references for analog to digital conversion and other applications. They can also be used as voltage references in circuits that are powered from different supply sources, or to ensure that dual-voltage devices operate properly.

Working Principle

When the voltage across the Zener diode is reversed, it allows a large current to flow until the Zener voltage, or breakdown voltage (VZ), is reached. Once this voltage is reached, the diode enters its avalanche region, allowing current to flow through it, even when the voltage across it is reversed.

A Zener diode is designed to maintain a stable voltage in the avalanche region, so that it will remain at a constant voltage as current flows through it. This is known as the Zener effect. By using the Zener effect, Zener diodes can be used to maintain a stable voltage level in a circuit, setting the total voltage to the desired level.

The stability of the voltage output of the DZ2J047M0L is determined by the Zener voltage and the breakdown current, also known as the Zener current. The Zener current is the amount of current which can flow through the diode before it begins to degrade its performance. The larger the Zener current, the greater the voltage stability of the device.

The DZ2J047M0L has a Zener voltage of 4.7V and a maximum Zener current of 400mW. This means that the voltage output of the device is 4.7V, plus or minus a few mV, and the output is able to handle up to 400mW of current.

Conclusion

DZ2J047M0L is a single Zener diode manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It can be used as a voltage regulator and for a variety of other applications. It has a Zener voltage of 4.7V and a maximum Zener current of 400mW, allowing it to maintain a more stable voltage output.
