MAZS220GML

The MAZS220GML is a single Zener diode designed for a wide range of applications, including ripple suppression, voltage clamping, and voltage regulator circuits. It has a low voltage rating of 2.2V, a maximum Zener voltage of 2.9V and a maximum power dissipation of 500mW. The diode is available in a TO-92 package, and is specified for operating temperatures ranging from -55°C to +125°C.

The MAZS220GML is a PIN protecting type of device, designed to limit shorts caused by static electricity or other power surges. It is constructed using a Schottky barrier structure and has a high maximum reverse voltage of 50 volts. The diode features a low leakage current and a high power dissipation rating to allow for efficient and reliable operation in a wide range of applications.

The Zener diode is based on the PN junction. It consists of two regions of opposite doping such as n-type and p-type. When a voltage is applied to the PN junction, it will cause electric current to flow through the diode. The current passing through the diode produces electric fields that generate a depletion region, allowing the diode to act as a one-way gate to control the voltage passing through. The Zener diode works so that when the applied voltage is below the Zener voltage threshold, the diode acts like a resistor, not allowing current to pass through. When the applied voltage exceeds the Zener voltage threshold, the diode breaks down, allowing current to pass through.

MAZS220GML diodes can be used in several applications, including:

• Power supply over-voltage protection
• Voltage reference and voltage regulation
• Power conditioning and ripple suppression
• Over-voltage protection for both voltage and current sources
• Reverse voltage protection

The MAZS220GML also features an improved clamping response that makes it ideal for use in transient voltage suppression (TVS) circuits. When used in a circuit, the diode can prevent excessive current flow as well as voltage transients. In addition, the diode has an improved high temperature characteristic, making it suitable for use in high-temperature applications.

The MAZS220GML Zener diode is an affordable and reliable solution for a wide range of applications. Its low voltage rating, high-temperature characteristics, and high power dissipation ratings make it well-suited for use in a variety of circuits. It is also easy to use, with a simple two-pin design and a TO-92 package.
