Diodes form an integral part of the modern electrical and electronics circuits. Various types of diodes are available which are characterized by their operating parameters and have different areas of application. The Zener diode is one such type of diode. In this article, we discuss the application field and working principle of a single Zener diode, TDZ12J,115.

A Zener diode is a type of diode that allows current to flow not only from its anode to its cathode but also in the reverse direction when the voltage is above a certain value known as breakdown or Zener voltage. It is made of semiconductor materials like Silicon and Germanium. It has a highly doped p-n junction that helps generate a strong electric field at its junction and allows the flow of electric current in both directions.

It has low dynamic resistance when operated in the reverse bias condition, which makes it an ideal voltage stabilizer. Zener diodes are widely used in various circuits for voltage regulation and for creating reference voltages. They are used in power supply circuits and also in transistor circuits for protection from surge voltage.

TDZ12J,115 is a single Zener diode with a voltage rating of 12V. It has a maximum power dissipation of 0.5 Watts, reverse recovery time of 5.20 µs, capacitance of 30.0 pF, and a forward voltage drop of 0.75V. The peak forward current of this device is 1.2 Amps and its peak reverse current is 8 mA. With a maximum operating junction temperature of +150oC, it can be used in a variety of applications.

TDZ12J,115 works on the principle of Zener breakdown. In this mechanism, when the Zener diode is operated in the reverse bias condition, a high electric field is generated across the junction. This electric field increases with the increase of applied voltage, and when the voltage reaches the breakdown voltage of the diode, it breaks down, allowing current to flow in both directions. This is known as Zener breakdown, and the voltage at which this breakdown occurs is known as the Zener voltage.

TDZ12J,115 can be used for various applications including voltage regulation, voltage clamping, transient suppression, and switching. It can be used for voltage regulation in AC to DC power supplies and in DC to DC converters. It can be used for voltage clamping in lightning protection circuits and for transient suppression in switch-mode power supplies. It can also be used in switching applications for creating reference voltages.

In conclusion, TDZ12J,115 is a single Zener diode with a voltage rating of 12V. It works on the principle of Zener breakdown, allowing current to flow in both directions when the voltage exceeds the breakdown or Zener voltage. It is widely used in various applications such as voltage regulation, voltage clamping, transient suppression, and switching.
