MAZD10000L

Diodes - Zener - Single

The MAZD10000L is a single diode zener diode which carries a wide range of applications. It is most commonly used to provide regulated power to electronic equipment. It is also capable of providing overvoltage protection, as well as voltage regulation, over-voltage protection, temperature sensitive devices, and temperature compensation.

The diode operates in the “avalanche mode”, whereby it is not directly driven by an applied voltage, but rather by a breakdown between the external P- and N-type regions. When a reverse-biased voltages is applied to the terminals, a small current will flow, but as the voltage increases, the current increases exponentially. This is known as the Zener effect, and the MAZD10000L is designed to take advantage of this property.

When the voltage applied to the diode rises beyond the diode\'s breakdown voltage, the diode will be able to rectify the current, making the diode able to provide regulated power to the device by limiting the forward current, and by regulating the voltage level. This is known as the Zener protection.

Furthermore, the reverse leakage current of the diode can be used to control the temperature of the device when used in temperature sensitive devices. The current flowing through the diode can be adjusted by using a P-type mask, controlling the breakdown voltage. This is known as the temperature compensation.

The MAZD10000L can also be useful to protect voltage sensitive devices from over-voltage, since the Zener breakdown voltage can be set to the desired value. This makes the device ideal for use in power supplies, overvoltage protection, and temperature sensitive applications.

In summary, the MAZD10000L is a single diode zener diode that can perform a wide variety of applications. It can be used for voltage regulation, over-voltage protection, temperature sensitive devices, and temperature compensation. As such, it is an ideal choice for many applications.
