ZPY51-TAP Application Field And Working Principle

The ZPY51-TAP series of Zeners are a single bidirectional Zeners with a high stabilization capability and good performance-price ratio. The ZPY51-TAP series is manufactured from BPA material, perforated pin technology, making it ideal for applications with high inrush currents and current peaks such as DC-DC converting and power modules.

The ZPY51-TAP series is available with a wide range of forward voltage drops ranging from 0.5V to 5V, in a variety of packages, sizes and configurations. The Zener diode is capable of withstanding high reverse bias voltages up to 200V, even at high temperatures. Due to its bidirectional operation, it can also be used in bridge rectifier circuits and other similar applications.

This series is designed and manufactured to meet or exceed the demanding performance requirements of automotive and business applications, such as battery chargers, DC-DC converters, power supply modules and power supplies. It is especially suitable for switching mode regulators and applications with high inrush currents or current peaks.

Working Principle

The Zeners present in the ZPY51-TAP series are built with a Gallium phosphide substrate and P-type layers. The diode has an N-type layer with an internal, adjustable field effect. This feature ensures a stable current-voltage response over a wide range of temperatures and reverse bias voltages.

The ZPY51-TAP series is capable of running on voltages up to 200V and temperatures up to 125°C. The Zener diode is an unidirectional device, meaning it can only conduct current in one direction. When the diode is reverse biased, the current gets blocked and the voltage drop across the diode remains constant and within the specified limits.

In the forward biased operation, the amount of current conducted by the diode depends on the voltage applied to its terminals. When a pre-set voltage is applied, the Zener diode will start to conduct current, at which point it can be used as a regulating device to stabilize the voltage.

The maximum continuous forward current that can be conducted through the diode is determined by its power dissipation. If the current through the Zener exceeds its rated value, the diode will get damaged due to overheating.
