NZX30C,133

Diodes - Zener - Single

NZX30C is a commonly used metal oxide semiconductor, or MOSFET, with a type number that adheres to an industry standard established by Motorola. This particular part belongs to a semiconductor family of parts typically used for low-level switching and voltage regulation. It has an on-board logic to switch from off to on, activate the MOSFET, and turn itself off when the output is reached.

The NZX30C is based on a three terminal design, with a P-type substrate being the bottom, N-type being the gate, and N-type connected to the drain and source. This combination creates a tunneling effect and by applying bias potential, electrons can be moved through the N-type semiconductor and through the P-type substrate to create a current flow.

Application Field

The NZX30C is typically used in applications that need low level switching or voltage regulation such as audio amplifiers or DC-DC converters. It can also be used for high-speed switching applications where the on-board logic will help maintain power savings. Additionally, the NZX30C\'s MOSFET design allows for good linearity and can be used for audio level controlling as well.

Working Principle

The structure of the NZX30C is set up in a three-terminal configuration, with the substrate being P-type semiconductor, the gate being N-type semiconductor, and the drain and source being N-type connected. By applying bias potential to the gate, electrons can tunnel through the N-type semiconductor and move through the P-type substrate, which creates a current flow.

When the current reaches the desired amount, logic circuitry onboard the NZX30C is triggered, which activates the MOSFET and shortens the current. This will cause the current flow to stop and the device to turn off. The onboard logic circuitry also helps reduce the power consumption when in operation, which can result in important energy savings in certain applications.

Conclusion

The NZX30C is a versatile semiconductor device typically used for low-level switching and voltage regulation applications. Its three-terminal design allows electrons to move from the P-type substrate through the N-type connected drain and source to create a current flow. Additionally, the onboard logic circuitry helps reduce power consumption and is ultimately responsible for the device turning off when the desired current is reached
