FLZ3V3A Discrete Semiconductor Products

The FLZ3V3A is a single Zener diode, designed primarily to limit the voltage across a circuit and to maintain a fixed voltage level. It is primarily used in low-level power supplies, usually where a specific voltage level is required to be maintained in a circuit.The FLZ3V3A is a series-connected diode that operates in reverse biased, with a breakdown voltage of 3.30V. When connected in an AC circuit, the diode is designed to provide a constant voltage output, whereby clipping the AC oscillations and preventing any voltage greater than 3.30V from appearing on the output.The Zener Diodes provide protection against overvoltage in circuits, and are used in a variety of applications from rectifiers, power supplies and low level amplifier stages. They are ideal for voltage regulation and voltage protection and can protect against transient over-voltage in power supply lines from power surges, lightning and electrostatic discharges.The FLZ3V3A has the typical features of a Zener diode, and offers a range of features such as reverse breakdown voltage of 3.30V, 5 mA current, a forward voltage drop of 0.7V, a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW, and a thermal resistance of 160°C/watt. It is also capable of withstanding voltages up to 5V and currents up to 15mA.The working principle of the FLZ3V3A Zener diode is straightforward and involves the use of a diode connected in series with a low resistance. When a voltage source is applied to the diode in reverse biased mode, the diode begins to conduct, allowing a current to flow. The flow of current causes the voltage across the resistance to drop to the breakdown voltage of the diode, which in the case of the FLZ3V3A is 3.30V. This voltage is then maintained across the resistive element as long as the current remains above the breakdown voltage.The FLZ3V3A thus has a wide number of application fields and is used in many types of electronic circuits, ranging from low level amplifiers to radio frequency circuits. It can also be used as part of a voltage regulation circuit, as it is capable of providing a constant voltage output even when subjected to voltage fluctuations.In addition, the FLZ3V3A is suitable for use in temperature compensated power supply circuits. It can be used to regulate voltage levels in high current circuits and it can also be used to provide over-voltage protection. Finally, it can also be used in AC power supply circuits to provide a constant voltage output.In conclusion, the FLZ3V3A is a single Zener diode with a breakdown voltage of 3.30V. It is suitable for use in a variety of applications and is particularly useful for limiting the voltage across a circuit and maintaining a fixed voltage level. It can also be used as part of a voltage regulation circuit or can be used in AC power supply circuits to provide a constant voltage output.
