SJPZ-N27VL

Diodes - Zener - Single

SJPZ-N27VL is a single zener diode which is widely used for voltage regulation applications. It has long been used in a variety of types of systems, ranging from automotive electronics to consumer electronics.

Structure

The SJPZ-N27VL is a surface-mount Zener diode, which features a double-layer doping process that provides a low breakdown voltage and fast response time. The diode also features a low power dissipation and has a low leakage current. Its hermetically sealed structure prevents pin holes and makes it very robust against environmental conditions.

Typical Applications

The SJPZ-N27VL is widely used for voltage regulation and voltage shift applications. It is widely used for electrical suppression in medical applications, voltage translation circuits, logic circuits, and many other applications. It is oftentimes used in SMPS (switched mode power supplies), DC-DC converters, and other highly regulated electronic systems.

Working Principle

The SJPZ-N27VL works using the principles of Zener breakdown, wherein when a voltage is applied across a p-n junction, electrons from the n-region can tunnel into the p-region, creating a narrow region of reverse breakdown voltage. When the voltage is increased to a certain point, the current passing through the junction increases exponentially.

The advantage of this kind of diode is that it can be use to regulate a voltage to prevent it from getting too high or low. In some applications, it can be used to regulate the voltage in a system to a predetermined level and protect sensitive components from voltage or current fluctuations.

Characteristics

The SJPZ-N27VL offers many desirable traits, including fast response times, low reverse leakage current and low series resistance. It has low dynamic impedance, which facilitates its use in systems with high noise levels. The breakdown voltage is also relatively low compared to other zener diodes, which makes it ideal for low voltage applications.

Conclusion

The SJPZ-N27VL is an ideal choice for a variety of voltage regulation and voltage shift applications. Its low series resistance and fast response time make it an excellent alternative to other zener diodes on the market. It can also be used in applications with high noise levels, due to its low dynamic impedance. Its hermetically sealed structure also makes it resistant to environmental conditions.
