Diodes - Zener - Single

The GDZ8V2B-HG3-18 diode is a member of the single zener family. It is an 8-volt zener diode with an 18-volt breakdown voltage. This diode can be used in many applications, from stabilizing voltages to protecting circuits from high voltage spikes.

The GDZ8V2B-HG3-18 diode is a simple device. It consists of a P-N junction formed between two different regions in the semiconductor material. When there is an applied forward voltage to this diode, electric current flows across the diode junction. The current is limited by the voltage drop of the diode.

When a reverse current is applied to the diode junction, the electric current is blocked. However, if the applied voltage is above the breakdown voltage of the diode, the electric current increases rapidly and the diode is said to be in breakdown. This change in behavior is used for different applications where breakdown protection or voltage regulation is required.

One of the common uses of the GDZ8V2B-HG3-18 diode is for voltage regulation in power supplies. Zener diodes are commonly used in power supplies to provide a stable output voltage in the presence of fluctuations in the input voltage. The zener diode is connected in inverse parallel with a load and the output voltage is determined by the breakdown voltage of the zener diode.

The GDZ8V2B-HG3-18 diode can also be used for surge protection. It can be used in series with a load to protect it from voltage spikes caused by transients. The diode will break down when the applied transient voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage of the diode, thus limiting the voltage applied to the load.

Finally, the GDZ8V2B-HG3-18 diode can be used for temperature monitoring. The breakdown voltage of this diode changes at a rate of −2.1℃/V across a temperature range of −40℃ to 125℃. This relationship between breakdown voltage and temperature can be used to measure the temperature of a circuit and thus provide temperature compensation.
