TZS4684-GS08 Discrete Semiconductor Products

The TZS4684-GS08 is a zener diode, designed for use in a variety of settings. This diode can be used for voltage regulation, circuit protection, signal processing, and signal generation. It is a single diode, which means that it has one electrical connection, and one working voltage.

This diode has an operating voltage of 4 volts, with a temperature coefficient of -0.21%, and a peak current tolerance of 12.6 mAmps. It is ideal for applications that require a reliable, low-cost source of power such as consumer electronics, communications, and industrial process control.

The working principle of the TZS4684-GS08 is fairly simple. It is designed to operate on the principle of avalanche breakdown, which is the phenomenon of a small, but significant increase in voltage across an unbiased semi conductor when it reaches a certain high, or "critical" voltage. Once the diode reaches this critical voltage, it begins to conduct current in both directions, and the voltage across it drops down to the operating voltage.

In other words, the TZS4684-GS08 is designed to regulate the voltage across an electronic device, by allowing an increased current to pass through it, when the voltage reaches a certain level. This helps to protect the device from any sudden spikes or surges in voltage, and provides a steady, reliable current supply. It also prevents any premature circuit failure which might otherwise occur due to overloading.

As a single diode, the TZS4684-GS08 is ideal for applications where multiple diodes would otherwise be necessary. It is also suitable for use in a variety of configurations, such as the current limiting circuit, voltage regulation, and diode clipping.

The TZS4684-GS08 is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a reliable, low-cost source of regulated power. With its low temperature coefficient and peak current tolerance, it makes for a great choice for power-sensitive applications.
