TDZTR20 Discrete Semiconductor Products

The TDZTR20 is a silicon high efficiency, medium power Zener diode. It is designed for use in circuits where a regulated dc voltage is required and where very tight voltage and temperature coefficient specifications are needed. The TDZTR20 also features low power consumption and is suitable for a variety of applications in the power supply and communications fields. Depending on the application and environment, the TDZTR20 can either be used as a voltage regulator, or as a voltage reference, monitoring and controlling the dc voltage being fed to a circuit or component.

The working principle behind the TDZTR20 is relatively simple. A current is applied to the diode and when the forward voltage is exceeded, the diode begins to conduct in reverse bias. This reverse leakage current is then monitored and the voltage level is set according to the current. This ensures that an accuracy of +/- 0.2V is maintained over the specified temperature range. The maximum power dissipation of the TDZTR20 is 500mW and the reverse leakage current typically ranges from 10uA to 1mA.

The TDZTR20 has a wide variety of potential applications in the power supply and communications fields. It can be used in power supplies, to ensure that a constant dc voltage is maintained over varying temperatures and load conditions. It is also suitable for use as a voltage reference in monitoring and controlling circuits, or for providing voltage feedback and control for circuits such as microprocesors. Additionally, the TDZTR20 can be used as a voltage clamp in audio and power amplifiers, helping to protect the amplifier from over voltage and overload conditions.

The performance of the TDZTR20 is suitable for a wide range of applications. It has excellent stability over temperature, with a maximum temperature coefficient of less than 1V/K. The forward voltage is typically 0.7V and the reverse voltage is normally between 5.6V to 6V. The maximum power dissipation of the device is 500mW and the reverse leakage current typically ranges from 10uA to 1mA. This ensures accurate voltage regulation, even in the most demanding applications.

The TDZTR20 is an ideal device for use in power supply, communication, and monitoring and control applications. It is suitable for a variety of design requirements due to its excellent performance characteristics and low power consumption. With its wide range of applications and versatile design, the TDZTR20 is an essential component for any modern system.
