Introduction

The GDZ36B-HG3-08 is a type of single Zener diode. It is used to prevent voltage from reaching an undesirable level, by providing an alternative conduction path for current at that level. This helps protect circuits in the event of voltage transients. It is designed for applications where fast switching speed and low noise is required. It can also be used for voltage regulation by providing a stable voltage reference.

Specifications

The GDZ36B-HG3-08 is a single Zener diode with a special package. It has a voltage rating of 8 volts, with a power dissipation of 350mW. Its maximum clamp current is 2A. Its peak surge current is 2A and its forward voltage is 5.0V. It has an operating temperature range of -65°C to +175°C.

Application Fields

The GDZ36B-HG3-08 is a versatile single Zener diode which can be used in a variety of different applications. It can be used in the protection of electrical systems from voltage transients. It can also be used for voltage regulation by providing a stable reference voltage for power supplies. Other application fields include RF and high speed switching circuits, automotive electronics, and high temperature and pulsed circuits.

Working Principle

The working principle of a Zener diode is based on the fact that when a reverse-biased p-n junction reaches its breakdown voltage, a large current begins to flow through the device. The voltage drop across the diode increases with an increase in the current, allowing it to provide a voltage reference. This is why Zener diodes are used for voltage regulation in power supplies.

The GDZ36B-HG3-08 operates according to the standard Zener diode working principle. When a reverse voltage exceeding the breakdown voltage is applied to the diode, a hole-electron avalanche occurs. This forms a conductive channel across the junction. Any additional voltage increase above the Zener voltage does not cause further current through the diode, as it become fully depleted. This allows the diode to regulate the voltage to the desired set level.

Conclusion

The GDZ36B-HG3-08 is a single Zener diode designed for applications where fast switching speed and low noise is required. It can be used in the protection of electrical systems from voltage transients and for voltage regulation by providing a stable reference voltage for power supplies. Its working principle is based on the ability of a reverse-biased p-n junction to break down at a certain voltage, allowing it to regulate the voltage to the desired set level.
