Diodes are a type of semiconductor device which uses the movement of electrons between a positive and negative lead to allow and restrict the flow of electricity. Zener diodes are a type of diode which are able to conduct current forward and also in reverse, under a certain amount of voltage.

The TZX18A-TR is a single Zener diode. It has a maximum power dissipation of 500mW, and a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.2V. It is also capable of withstanding a surge of up to 4A. The reverse voltage breakdown range of this diode is between 15V and 18V. This diode can also operate with a maximum reverse leakage current of 15μA (at a reverse voltage of 16V).

The primary application field of the TZX18A-TR is in the production of voltage reference circuits, voltage regulators, and voltage multipliers. It is also used in the production of stabilizers, clipping circuits, and noise suppressors. The diode can be used in wide range of applications, with either AC or DC voltage.

The working principle of the TZX18A-TR is based on a simple concept. When voltage is applied across the leads, it causes electrons to move from the positive to the negative lead, via the PN junction. This creates a current which is directed from the negative lead to the positive lead. If the voltage increases, the amount of current flow will also increase. However, at a certain voltage, usually around 15V-18V, the current will stop increasing and instead be held at a constant level (or at a very small level). This is known as the ‘Zener breakdown’.

When used in voltage reference circuits, the TZX18A-TR operates by providing the exact amount of current needed to produce a reference voltage. In voltage regulators, it works by controlling the amount of current flow in order to produce a constant voltage. In voltage multipliers, it is used to adjust the voltage so that it does not exceed a certain level. Lastly, in its applications such as in stabilizers, clipping circuits, and noise suppressors, the diode acts to suppress any unwanted signals or noise which may be present.

In conclusion, the TZX18A-TR is a single Zener diode, designed for use in a wide range of applications. It is used predominantly in voltage reference circuits, voltage regulators, and voltage multipliers, but can also be used in other applications such as in stabilizers, clipping circuits, and noise suppressors. The working principle of the diode is based on the simple concept of the ‘Zener breakdown’, where the current level is held constant when a certain voltage is applied across the leads.
