TZM5230F-GS08

Diodes - Zener - Single

The TZM5230F-GS08 is a type of diode that belongs to the single zener diode family. It is made of silicon dioxide formed with the zener human-rectifier junction in order to switch between the forward and reverse bias conditions. This enables the component to operate at high voltage, low current and low frequency with a great level of reliability.

Performance wise, the component provides a well-controlled break-over voltage ranging between 5.2 and 6.5 volts at a current rating of 70 mA. The component has a maximum power consumption of 250 mW and a maximum operating temperature that can reach 150 °C. It also features good storage and thermal characteristics and a high level of tolerance for reverse voltage of up to 1000v.

One of the main use cases for the TZM5230F-GS08 is in the field of power supplies. It helps in regulating the power supply voltage and gives a stable output voltage even if the input voltage varies. It also finds application in battery charging applications and provides a safe charging voltage for the batteries. It works by monitoring the input voltage and ensuring that the output voltage doesn’t go above a certain threshold limit.

The working principle of this diode lies in the process of creating a zener effect. The zener effect is created by creating a narrow junction in the semiconductor material that allows the electrons to become trapped in a “low energy” state. The electrons then are prevented from recombining and producing only a small current.

The TZM5230F-GS08 works as a constant current device by sensing a change in the voltage across the diode and reducing the output current. This helps maintain a stable output current even if the input voltage deviates from the constant output voltage. This reduces the power consumption and improves the overall efficiency of the device.

In conclusion, the TZM5230F-GS08 is an excellent choice for a single zener diode and can be used in a variety of applications. It provides excellent performance with its wide operating temperature range and good storage and thermal characteristics. It can help in regulating power and charging batteries safely and efficiently.
