Zener Diode Arrays
Zener Diode Arrays are specialized semiconductor devices that consist of multiple Zener diodes integrated into a single package. These arrays are designed to provide voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in electronic circuits. The fundamental operating principle of a Zener diode is its ability to allow current to flow in the reverse direction when a specific breakdown voltage is reached. This breakdown voltage, known as the Zener voltage, is precisely controlled, making Zener diodes ideal for maintaining a stable voltage across a load. By integrating multiple Zener diodes into an array, these devices can offer enhanced functionality, such as multi-channel voltage regulation and protection in compact form factors.
