NZ9F6V8T5G Discrete Semiconductor Products

Diodes - Zener - Single

The NZ9F6V8T5G is a single Zener diode specifically designed for a wide range of applications. It has a breakdown voltage of 6.3 V and a forward voltage drop of only 0.3 V. The Zener diode has a wide range of uses in the electronics industry, ranging from power supply protection to voltage regulation.

Application Field

The NZ9F6V8T5G is a semiconductor device that acts as a voltage regulator or as a protection device. It is mainly used in voltage regulation, power supply protection, and peak clamping applications.

The Zener diode is used in voltage regulator circuits in order to maintain a constant voltage. The Zener diode is placed in series with a resistor and the resistor\'s inverting terminal is connected to the output of the regulated voltage source.

The NZ9F6V8T5G is also used in power supply protection applications such as overvoltage and current limiting. In this application, the Zener diode is placed in series with the power supply and the load. In case of an overvoltage or current limiter, the Zener diode will conduct current in one direction only and will not allow the excess current or voltage to pass through.

The NZ9F6V8T5G is also used in peak clamping applications such as electrostatic discharge protection. In this application, the Zener diode is placed in series with the load, and the load\'s inverting terminal is connected to ground. When a large voltage spike occurs, the Zener diode is used to limit the amount of voltage that is transferred to the load.

Working Principle

The NZ9F6V8T5G is designed to be used in one of two ways: either as a regulated voltage source or as an overvoltage or current-limiting protection device. Regardless of how it is used, the Zener diode will allow current to flow in one direction and will block current from flowing in the opposite direction.

The Zener diode works by having a P-N junction, meaning that when a voltage is applied across the diode, a small current will flow and the junction will become activated. When the applied voltage becomes greater than the breakdown voltage of the diode, the diode will become a controlled source of current and the voltage across the diode will remain constant. This is known as the Zener Effect, and it is what makes the Zener diode a popular device in voltage regulation and power supply protection applications.

In overvoltage and current limiter applications, the Zener diode will be placed in series with the load and the power supply. When the voltage rises above the breakdown voltage of the diode, the diode will become a controlled source of current and will limit the amount of voltage that can pass through the load.

In peak clamping applications, the Zener diode will be placed in series with the load and the inverting terminal of the load will be connected to ground. When a voltage spike occurs, the Zener diode will act as a clamp and will limit the amount of voltage that can pass through the load.

The NZ9F6V8T5G Zener diode is an ideal device for a wide range of applications, from power supply protection to voltage regulation. It is easy to use and can provide reliable and efficient performance for many years.
