Diodes are used in electronics circuits to direct current flow and provide electrical isolation. A Zener diode is one type of diode that is specifically designed to conduct current in either direction when a specific reverse voltage is reached. The TLZ15C-GS18 is a single Zener diode from LITEON Technology Corporation. This device is suitable for applications in communications, automotive, and many other industrial systems.

The TLZ15C-GS18 is a small signal device with a Germanium junction that has a maximum breakdown voltage of 15 volts. This diode has a maximum power dissipation rating of 100mW and a minimum Zener current of 0.5mA. It features reverse stand-off voltage (Vr) of 12 volts and a Zener impedance of 35 Ohms. The TLZ15C-GS18 also has a low forward voltage drop and fast response time, making it ideal for AC to DC and DC to DC applications.

The working principle of the TLZ15C-GS18 Zener diode is based on the physical behavior of a reverse-biased diode. When a reverse bias voltage is applied to a silicon diode, electrons in the outer layers of the diode are accelerated toward the anode. When they reach the junction they combine with holes in the conduction band of the semiconductor material and form electron-hole pairs. The majority of these electron-hole pairs recombine quickly, resulting in a low reverse current. However, a small current still passes through due to minority carriers.

The TLZ15C-GS18 diode exploits this behavior by using a special semiconductor material with a higher minority carrier concentration, making it “Zener-active”. As a result, when the reverse bias voltage on the diode reaches a certain level (called the Zener voltage or Vz), the minority carrier concentration is large enough to support a significant amount of current flow. This is how the TLZ15C-GS18 device is able to stabilize output voltages and protect circuits from inductive kickback.

The TLZ15C-GS18 Zener diode is a single device designed to provide voltage regulation and protection for AC and DC circuits. Its maximum breakdown voltage of 15V and Zener impedance of 35 Ohms make it well-suited for a variety of applications, from automotive and communications to industrial systems. The device\'s low forward voltage drop and fast response time ensures reliable operation and protection.}
