MAZ30360HL Discrete Semiconductor Products

The MAZ30360HL is a single Zener diode, ideal for use as a voltage regulator or shunt regulator. It features a relatively low forward voltage drop and requires very little additional components for optimal performance. The device is characterized by an extremely tight thermal tracking coefficient and total maximum power dissipation varying less than 5%.

Application Field

The MAZ30360HL is well-suited for a wide range of applications, including over-voltage protection, power supplies, and decoupling applications. Its low forward voltage contributes to industry-leading efficiency, while its wide Zener voltage range allows for precise control of the levels of voltage needed for a given application. Additionally, the device is widely used in temperature compensation, active filters, and other circuits that require precise, low dropout voltage performance.

Working Principle

The MAZ30360HL operates on a Zener diode effect in which current passing through the diode creates a voltage drop across the diode junctions, resulting in a standard Zener breakdown process for voltage regulation. The forward voltage drop of the device is extremely low, resulting in excellent power efficiency. The wide Zener voltage range of the device enables precise control of the voltage output. A voltage regulator is typically used to maintain a constant voltage level under varying load conditions, while a shunt regulator is used to maintain a constant output voltage, regardless of input voltage.

The MAZ30360HL\'s high reverse surge rating and low series resistance also allows for minimal power losses and excellent transient response, resulting in an extremely reliable device with highly stable DC performance.

In summary, the MAZ30360HL is a high-performance single Zener diode ideal for over-voltage protection, power supplies, decoupling applications, temperature compensation, and active filters. Its wide Zener voltage range and low forward voltage drop enable precise voltage control, while its high reverse surge rating and low series resistance enable reliable, stable DC performance.
