TZM5265B-GS08

Zener diodes are used in a wide range of electronic and electrical applications. The TZM5265B-GS08 is a single Zener diode commonly used in many different types of electrical systems including mobile phones, radios, computers, and automotive electronics. In this article, we will discuss the application field and working principle of the TZM5265B-GS08 Zener diode.

Application Field

The TZM5265B-GS08 Zener diode is used primarily in Industrial and consumer applications such as linear voltage regulators, DC/DC converters, battery charging, and voltage clamping. It can also be used for ESD protection for external ports on electronic devices. In consumer electronics, it is used for voltage regulation on devices such as smart phones, tablets, and gaming consoles. It can also be used to protect consumer appliances such as TVs, microwaves, and other high-voltage devices.

Working Principle

A Zener diode operates in the reverse-bias mode. This means that voltage is applied in the reverse direction to normal operation. When the reverse bias voltage reaches the breakdown voltage, or Zener voltage, at which the diode begins to break down and conduct current, the Zener diode will be “clamped” to the Zener voltage. This results in a regulated voltage being output from the diode.

In order to ensure that the diode operates as a Zener diode and not as a regular diode, the current flowing through the diode needs to be maintained. If the current through the diode is too high, it will cause the diode to go into forovoltaic mode and instead of regulating the voltage, it will produce a high voltage potential. This is why it is important to ensure that the current through a Zener diode is properly restricted to prevent it from going into forward-bias mode.

The TZM5265B-GS08 Zener diode is able to produce a regulated voltage of 5.2V and has a power rating of 250mW. It is important to ensure that the power rating is not exceeded, as exceeding the rated power can result in damage to the diode. Additionally, the diode needs to be operated within the voltage and current limits in order to maintain the breakdown voltage and ensure that it does not exceed the specified power rating.

Conclusion

The TZM5265B-GS08 Zener diode is a single Zener diode commonly used in a wide range of electronic and electrical applications. It is primarily used in Industrial and consumer applications such as linear voltage regulators, DC/DC converters, battery charging, voltage clamping, and ESD protection. It has a breakdown voltage of 5.2V and a power rating of 250mW, and needs to be operated within these limits to ensure proper operation.
