Diodes - Zener - Single

The ZGL41-170A-E3/97 is a Zener diode designed to provide voltage regulation; it is designed to create a stable output voltage while allowing the input voltage to fluctuate. The diode consists of a junction formed by two different types of semiconductor materials; one is lightly doped and the other is more heavily doped. This junction, called a PN junction can be used to create a DC voltage for a circuit.

Working Principle

The working of a Zener diode is based on the Zener breakdown. When the Zener diode is connected in the reverse bias mode, it can produce a controlled amount of current between its two terminals. When a voltage greater than the Zener voltage is applied across the two terminals of the diode, the electrical field within the junction becomes strong enough to make the electrons break through the junction, resulting in an avalanche breakdown. This process is called as Zener breakdown, due to which the voltage across the diode becomes nearly constant, regardless of the amount of current that it is passing through.

Applications

The ZGL41-170A-E3/97 diode is primarily used to produce a good voltage regulation from a wide range of input voltages. It is used in a variety of different applications, such as power supplies, voltage references, signal buffering, signal conditioning and RF (radio frequency) circuits. The diode is mostly used in applications where low noise, precise voltage regulation is desired. It can provide precise voltage regulation down to 0.3V and can handle current up to 500mA.

In conclusion, the ZGL41-170A-E3/97 diode is a single Zener diode designed to provide a stable output voltage while allowing the input voltages to fluctuate. It is highly useful in applications where precise voltage regulation and low noise operation are desired. It is primarily used in a variety power supplies, voltage references and signal conditioning applications.
