Working Principle

The MAZ80560ML is a single Zener diode, an important type of diode used for voltage regulation and stabilization. The Zener effect is the most important feature of Zener diodes and is responsible for their remarkable performance. When a Zener diode is placed in a circuit and the applied voltage is increased, the Zener diode conducts current and limits the voltage to a certain level.

The MAZ80560ML has a reverse breakdown voltage of 5.6V and when the forward voltage is applied, the diode conducts current until the reverse breakdown voltage is reached. At this point, the diode is conditioned and current will only flow in the forward direction. This ability to limit the voltage makes Zener diodes an ideal choice for voltage regulation and stabilization.

The MAZ80560ML has a low temperature coefficient, which helps to maintain a stable output voltage. The power dissipation of the diode is also low, making it ideal for low-power applications. Additionally, the high reverse leakage current makes it an ideal choice for voltage regulation in high-voltage applications.
