TZMA20-GS08

TZMA20-GS08 application field and working principle

TZMA20-GS08 is a Zener diode module specifically designed to meet the needs of complex systems. It is made up of a pair of ultra-fast Schottky diodes and a Zener diode connected in series. This series of Zener diode modules provide reliable protection against over-voltage and other transient surge events.

The TZMA20-GS08 is designed to work in an environment with wide temperature and voltage ranges. It has an operating temperature range of -55°C to 150°C and a maximum reverse voltage of 8 V. The diode module features an ultra low on-state resistance and high peak current capability. This makes it suitable for applications requiring instantaneous over-voltage protection. It is also ideal for use in other sensitive electronic circuits such as automotive, telecommunications, and computing applications.

The operation of the TZMA20-GS08 can be best understood by looking at the two distinct parts of the circuit: the Schottky diodes and the Zener diode. The Schottky diodes are used to protect the circuit from any excessive voltage. These diodes will be forward biased when the voltage is higher than the reverse voltage rating and thus, the current will be limited to the rated value. On the other hand, the Zener diode will turn on during a voltage surge and help to maintain the voltage at its predefined levels.

The TZMA20-GS08 is an ideal solution for many overvoltage protection applications. It can be used in automotive, telecommunication, and computing applications where an immediate overvoltage protection is needed. It can also be used in various industrial and consumer applications to provide reliable protection from over-voltage events.
