A single Zener diode, labeled PZU20B3A, is a device commonly used to provide a reference voltage and avoid oscillation in electronic circuits. Zener diodes are especially popularly used in voltage regulation applications, used to reduce any fluctuations in the input current.

The PZU20B3A is a 20V Zener diode. It is also rated at 500mW. This is a Zener diode whose primary application is to provide a reference voltage in any type of circuit design. It works by using a reverse bias voltage to allow electrons to overcome their inertia and then pass through the diode junction resulting in the Zener breakdown voltage.

The PZU20B3A’s applications include voltage-regulating in power supplies and other applications that require a constant voltage. It can also be used in a voltage switch circuit to provide a reference voltage and regulate the output. The primary benefit of using Zener diodes like the PZU20B3A is that they help to stabilize the voltage output which allows for a clean, safe current.

The working principle of the PZU20B3A Zener diode is based on the reverse breakdown voltage (Vz). When a current is applied to the diode in the reverse direction, the Vz is reached, and the current can then flow freely. This is referred to as the Zener breakdown voltage. This breakdown voltage can be predetermined by the user and is often used in voltage regulation applications.

When the voltage exceeds the predetermined Vz, some electrons will be pushed towards the diode junction. This allows a small current to flow, which then exponentially increases until its value reaches the same value as the reverse bias voltage. This is known as avalanche breakdown and its associated current is much lower than any other breakdown mechanism.

Furthermore, the PZU20B3A has two distinct advantages over other devices for voltage regulation. The first is its low voltage coefficient, which means that the voltage does not depend much on the temperature surrounding it. This is because the PZU20B3A presents an opposite effect of the positive temperature coefficient found in other devices. The second advantage is that the Zener voltage is stable over the diode’s lifetime, so it can be trusted to keep the same voltage over a very long period of time.

The PZU20B3A single Zener diode is used in many applications including voltage regulation, low-noise oscillators, switching circuits, and circuit stabilization. Its unique properties make it an ideal device for maintaining a steady reference voltage, which is especially useful in applications where this is needed. The device is also relatively low in cost and has good reliability, making it a popular choice for many circuit designers and engineers.
