Working Principle

The VLZ20-GS08 is a type of zener diode, which is a special type of diode that operates in the reverse-bias region. When the diode is biased in the reverse direction, the electric field across the diode built up, which allows a controlled amount of current to flow in the reverse direction. This reverse current is known as the “zener” current.

The VLZ20-GS08 has a high current rating and a very low voltage threshold, which makes it ideal for applications requiring an adjustable source of voltage. The exact amount of current that is allowed to flow will depend on the value of the external bias voltage. As the bias voltage increases, the zener current increases and the voltage supplied by the diode will correspondingly increase.

The VLZ20-GS08 has a variety of features that make it suitable for a wide range of applications, such as its fast switching time and low forward drop. The diode is also compatible with a range of temperature ranges and surface mount package styles. It is also available with a range of breakdown voltages, allowing it to be used in a variety of applications.
