MAZ80360HL Discrete Semiconductor Products

MAZ80360HL is a high-current Zener diode designed for high-voltage, high-frequency applications. It is forward-conductive and is also capable of 200-V reverse-bias operation. This diode is suitable for use in power supplies, switching regulators, PFC circuits, UHF circuits, and high-voltage power rectification.

The high-current diode has a reverse breakdown voltage rating of 100V to 600V. In addition, the MAZ80360HL has junction capacitance of 0.7pF, minimum off-state leakage of 0.2µA, and an on-state resistance of 0.6Ω. The diode is available in an epoxy-coated case, making it easier to mount and more reliable in operation.

The MAZ80360HL diode works on the principle of Zener voltage regulation. It is a one-way current-carrying diode with a heavily doped N-type or lightly doped P-type layer connected in series. When the diode is subjected to a forward voltage greater than its Zener voltage, a large electric current flows through the diode.

At the same time, the Zener voltage builds up across the diode and increases to a set value. This process is known as reverse breakdown and it results in the diode being used as an ideal voltage-regulating device. As the current through the diode decreases, the voltage drop across it also decreases, maintaining a constant output voltage.

The MAZ80360HL is used in a wide range of applications, including power supply circuits, UHF systems, switching regulators, and power rectification. It can be used to regulate the output voltage to a specific level and is often used in conjunction with other components, such as capacitors, resistors, and inductors, to create a stable circuit.

The MAZ80360HL diode features a wide range of breakdown voltages, making it suitable for a variety of applications. It is able to handle high-voltage environments, has low leakage current, and is stable in operation. As a result, the diode is an ideal choice for a range of power supply and UHF applications.
