Diodes are an essential part of circuit design and operation, and Zener diodes in particular function as essential part of the circuit in numerous applications, designed to regulate voltage and maintain current. The VLZ10C-GS08 is a single Zener diode designed to be used in many different electronic devices, combining exceptional reliability and maximum performance in a minimally sized package.

Package and Structure

The VLZ10C-GS08 diodes are available in an ultra-miniature SOD123 package, providing a uniquely small design for installation in tight spaces and optimizing both thermal and electrical resistance. The silhouette of the diode is 0.092 x 0.045 inches, and the total weight of the package is only 0.2 milligrams. Additionally, the diode features high surge current capabilities, with a maximum 1ms surge rating of up to 1.1 amperes. This high surge current makes the part suitable for use in high-frequency applications, such as power inverters.

Uses and Working Principle

The voltage that the VLZ10C-GS08 Zener diode can handle is up to 10 volts, making it suitable for many different applications. The diode is most commonly used for regulation, rectification and voltage reference stability, allowing for precise control of over or undershooting currents and low-voltage protection. Additionally, the diode can be used as part of a current generator, creating an adjustable current from a stable voltage source.

The working principle of the diode relies on the Zener effect, which occurs when the diode is connected in reverse with a voltage across the junction. Under suitable conditions – a reverse voltage below the breakdown voltage – the current flowing through the junction from the anode to the cathode increases exponentially with the reverse voltage. This allows for exceptionally precise voltage control, because the current through the diode remains constant even if the voltage supply changes.

Device Properties

The VLZ10C-GS08 diode has many important electrical properties. The maximum reverse voltage is an impressive 10 volts, while the maximum forward current ranges from 0.2 amperes to 1.1 amperes. The diode is also rated at a range of power dissipation. For instance, at 25 °C, the maximum power dissipation is 150 mW, while the power dissipation at 100 °C drops to 50 mW. Junction Temperature can reach up to 150 °C, and the reverse current leakage at 25 °C is maximum 0.25 microamperes for 10V.

The diode also has superior thermal resistance, thanks to its small size and ability to dissipate heat quickly. The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for the VLZ10C-GS08 is 90°C/W, allowing the component to keep from operating at a higher temperature even when operating with high power levels. This ensures longer component life, improved reliability and better component performance.
