Diodes are electrical components that allow current to pass in one direction but not in the opposite direction. Zener diodes are a type of diode that also allows reversed current after it reaches a certain voltage. A single Zener diode is just one Zener diode component. The EDZVT2R8.2B is a single Zener diode component.

Application Field

The EDZVT2R8.2B is typically used in applications that require a component to protect circuits from over-voltage, like voltage regulators. This component, whose breakdown voltage is 2.8 V, is often used in power supplies to maintain a particular voltage level, and then it will allow the current to bypass when a higher voltage condition is reached. Another application for EDZVT2R8.2B is clamping. This component can be used to clamp a voltage to a particular level and then it will short any voltage exceeding that value.

Working Principle

The EDZVT2R8.2B works on the same principle as all other single Zener diodes. When the applied voltage is below the momentary breakdown voltage (2.8 V), the component will behave like an ordinary diode and show a high voltage drop. This component is the opposite of an ordinary diode because it allows current to pass in both directions. When the voltage on the diode is greater than or equal to the breaking voltage, the component will allow a reverse current to pass through it without creating any voltage drop across it.

To put it simply, the EDZVT2R8.2B acts as an insulator until a particular voltage threshold is reached. Once this threshold is passed, the component will begin to conduct in the reverse direction. This current is referred to as a Zener knee. The higher the voltage, the higher the bypass current will be. The component might work as a clamp to short-circuit any voltage which is higher than the breakdown voltage.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the EDZVT2R8.2B is a one of single Zener diode components. Its breakdown voltage is 2.8 V. Applications for this component include voltage regulator and clamping circuits. Its principle of operation involves the component initially behaving as an insulator until the breakdown voltage of 2.8 V is reached, then it will allow a reverse current to flow without creating any voltage drop.
