It is made of a semiconductor material and assembled in an SMD package. This article aims to discuss the application and working principle of GDZ6V8B-G3-18.

Application

The GDZ6V8B-G3-18 is a single Zener diode, which can be used for voltage regulation, voltage stabilization, and other applications where a constant voltage is required. It is often used in power supply and voltage regulator circuits to maintain a constant output voltage in the presence of line voltage fluctuations. It is also used in voltage reference circuits and voltage divider circuits to create tight voltage regulation or precision voltage setting.

This diode is often used in switching power supplies, flyback transformers, DC/DC converters, voltage regulators, and other electronic equipment, such as medical devices, industry components and other general applications. The diode is also widely used in the automotive industry and military applications.

Working principle

The GDZ6V8B-G3-18 has a single Zener diode. A Zener diode is a silicon semiconductor diode specifically designed to operate as a voltage regulator in reverse-biased operation. Unlike other diodes, which begin to conduct current in reverse biased operation when the breakdown voltage is reached, the Zener diode is designed to allow a specific amount of current to pass once its breakdown voltage is reached.

A Zener diode has a unique characteristic known as the “Zener voltage”. This is the voltage at which the diode begins to conduct in reverse bias operation. The Zener voltage of a diode is determined by the doping level and the width of the depletion region of the diode. The GDZ6V8B-G3-18 has a Zener voltage of 6V, which is the amount of current allowed to pass once the diode reaches its breakdown voltage.

In a typical circuit, the Zener diode is used to maintain a constant voltage by providing an alternate path for any current that would cause the voltage to fluctuate. When the voltage exceeds the Zener voltage, the diode is reverse-biased and a large portion of the excess current is shunted around the load and dissipated as heat. This process is known as voltage control and provides a stable output voltage in the face of line voltage variations.

Conclusion

The GDZ6V8B-G3-18 is a single Zener diode with a 6V Zener voltage. It is used for a variety of applications, including voltage stabilization and regulation, switching, protection, and industry, medical, and other general applications. The diode is used for voltage regulation in reverse-biased operation and allows a specific amount of current to pass when the breakdown voltage is reached. The device is also widely used in automotive, military, and other fields.
