• Power Supplies
• Voltage Regulation Circuits
• Overvoltage Protection Circuits
• AC/DC Converters
• Inverters

Working Principle

The working principle of EDZVT2R3.0B is given as follows:

When the voltage across the diode is below the breakdown voltage (Vz), it acts like an ordinary diode, so a small leakage (Il) current is used by the diode. However, when the voltage across the diode reaches the threshold zener voltage (Vz), the junction will become reversed biased and the current flow rapidly increases manifold and thereby providing a relatively stable voltage across the diode. This voltage is known as the zener voltage (Vz). This means that, when the input voltage is larger than the zener voltage, the zener diode will regulate the voltage and will not allow the voltage across its ends to exceed the zener voltage.

Conclusion

This article has discussed the application field and working principle of EDZVT2R3.0B and concluded that it is a type of Zener Diode mainly used for power supplies, voltage regulation circuits and overvoltage protection circuits. The working principle of the diode is that, when the voltage across the diode reaches the threshold zener voltage, the junction will become reversed biased and the current flow rapidly increases manifold and thereby providing a relatively stable voltage across the diode.
