Diodes - Zener - Single

MAZS2200ML is a single zener diode. It is a semiconductor device that has the ability to control the direction of current flow. A typical zener diode will allow current to flow in either direction when forward biased, but only allows current to flow in one direction when reverse biased. The MAZS2200ML has an in-built Zener voltage of 22 volts and a maximum power dissipation of 1 watt.

The MAZS2200ML is most commonly used to provide over-voltage protection, preventing surges of current from damaging other components in a circuit. This type of diode is usually placed in parallel with other components, allowing current to flow in either direction through it. When reverse biased, it limits the voltage on the rest of the circuit to the Zener voltage.

The MAZS2200ML is also used to regulate a circuit\'s output voltage, providing a consistent output regardless of load or power source variations. This is achieved by placing the zener diode in series with the load and the power supply. When the output voltage exceeds the diode\'s Zener voltage, the diode conducts, limiting the output voltage.

In addition to being used for protection and voltage regulation, MAZS2200ML can also be used in the design of reference circuits and for the adjustment of bias levels for transistors, fluorescent light ballasts, and temperature control devices. The MAZS2200ML can also be used as a voltage limiter. It is an efficient, low cost way to provide both over voltage and over current protection in a circuit.

Working Principle

The MAZS2200ML works through the principle of reverse biased electron injection. In its reverse biased mode, the diode conducts current only when the voltage on the diode\'s anode rises above its Zener voltage, at which point the diode begins to conduct in its avalanche mode.

This causes current to flow only in the reverse direction, normal to the working of a usual diode. This avalanche effect is caused by the generation of electron-hole pairs due to large electric field. The current flow continues as long as the applied voltage across the diode is higher than the Zener Breakdown Voltage.

When reverse biased, the MAZS2200ML has a very low leakage current and a high breakdown voltage, which makes it an ideal device for voltage regulation and over-voltage protection. In addition, the MAZS2200ML’s low operating temperature makes it suitable for operation in high temperature environments.

Conclusion

The MAZS2200ML is a versatile and useful single zener diode. It can be used for voltage regulation, over-voltage protection, reference point generation, and voltage limiting. It is also suitable for use in high temperature environments and has a high breaking down voltage.
