The device has an excellent temperature-compensation characteristic and a low reverse leakage current characteristic.

Application Field

The TSZL52C15 RWG can be used in different circuits such as those related to voltage regulation, voltage clamping, secondary-side protection circuits, audio amplifier protection circuits, over-temperature protection circuits, etc.

Working Principle

The TSZL52C15 RWG uses a zener principle in which an avalanche effect takes place when a certain voltage is applied across the reverse side junction, making the device remain at the designed voltage under normal operating temperatures. The device operates in a forward direction for normal conduction with a low forward voltage drop. This allows the diode to be used for diode or full-wave rectification, etc.

When the reverse voltage reaches the rated voltage or higher, the diode immediately turns into a high impedance state, where the current is limited by the zener voltage. This is known as the zener effect.

This principle enables the TSZL52C15 RWG to provide superior protection of circuits and it can also be useful when controlling currents in alternators, motor drives, inverters and relays.

Conclusion

The TSZL52C15 RWG is a single zener diode with a breakdown voltage of 15V, designed for applications such as voltage regulation, audio amplifier protection and secondary-side protection circuits. It utilizes the Zener effect for operation with a low reverse leakage current, making it suitable for various circuit applications.
