MAZ8030GHL Discrete Semiconductor Products

The MAZ8030GHL is a high-speed and low-power 3-terminal voltage regulator based on a Zener diode. This device offers excellent line and load regulation and is designed to provide 2A regulated current over an input range of 10V-100V. It is widely used in a variety of applications from standard industrial and automotive to medical and telecommunications. Its small size and high efficiencies make it ideal for space-constrained applications.

The basic principle of the MAZ8030GHL is a classic Zener diode voltage regulator, where two respective circuits that share a common cathode limit the maximum and minimum output voltages. The distinctive part is the use of a diode, instead of a Zener diode, to create the maximum input voltage that the regulator can handle. Thus, it is more capable of regulating an input voltage up to three times higher than the Zener diode.

This device operation is highly reliable and thus ensures a stable output over various input conditions, including wide line and load variations, high temperature surges, and voltage transients. When the input voltage drops below the reference voltage, the device provides a constant output voltage as long as the level is maintained. If the voltage drops outside the operational range of the device, the output voltage will fall abruptly due to the breakthrough of the Zener diode.

The MAZ8030GHL consists of a Zener diode and an integrated control circuit that actively tracks the input voltage. The control circuit ensures the driving of the device at an optimized level according to the input, thus providing high efficiency and eliminating secondary regulation losses. There is also an integrated thermal protection system to prevent device damage in cases of over-heating.

Another advantage of this device is its inrush current limitation that reduces the impact of inrush current peaks while the device starts. This makes the device ideal for automotive applications where voltage surges tend to occur during engine starting. Also, with such features, the MAZ8030GHL is also suitable for industrial applications.

The MAZ8030GHL is capable of efficiently regulating output voltage over wide range of variations. It offers very low output voltage ripple and noise, making it suitable for automotive and audio-video applications. A power dissipation of 7.5 W makes it suitable for high current regulation. Its low profile of only 6.7mm form factor makes it suitable for installing in limited spaces.

The MAZ8030GHL is a versatile and reliable three-terminal voltage regulator device. It has wide applications as regulator for audio-video equipment, LED lighting systems, industrial equipment, and various automotive applications. This device features high input voltage, low inrush current, high efficiency, and low power dissipation.
