MAZW082HGL Discrete Semiconductor Products

Diodes - Zener - Arrays

The MAZW082HGL is a type of diodes specifically referred to as Zener-Arrays. This diode is specifically designed to provide a high-performance combination of zener diode stability and power performance in an area efficient style. It has a low dynamic resistance and a wide VZ range and it offers excellent ESD protection and low power requirements. The device consists of two ultra-stable Zener diodes that are connected in a dual configuration.

The working principle of the MAZW082HGL is simple. When a voltage is applied to the anode and cathode of the diode, a proportion of this voltage will be fed back from the cathode to the anode and the device will act as a voltage regulator. The current in the diode is limited by the biasing current that is provided to it by the diode. This current will determine the precision of the device and will also control the power dissipation in the device.

The MAZW082HGL is mostly used in applications that require a combination of high-stability, voltage regulation and low power consumption. Such applications include discrete power supplies, computer power supplies, converters and motor controllers. The diode is also suitable for a wide range of other applications where the high level of voltage stability is needed.

The MAZW082HGL is a great choice for applications that require high-performance voltage regulation and stability. It offers excellent ESD protection, low power dissipation and simple biasing requirements that make it a great choice for most applications.
