The MAZ8056UML is a Zener diode manufactured by Panasonic. It's designed to provide a stable voltage reference or voltage regulation in various electronic circuits. The UML designation indicates a specific package type, often a small surface mount type.

Applications

• Voltage Regulation: Provides a stable output voltage in power supplies and other circuits.
• Overvoltage Protection: Protects sensitive components from voltage spikes and surges.
• Clipping Circuits: Limits the voltage swing of a signal to prevent damage or distortion.
• Voltage Shifting: Shifts the DC level of a signal.
• Reference Voltage: Provides a stable voltage reference for comparators and other circuits.

Features

• Zener Diode: Provides a stable reverse breakdown voltage.
• Small Package (UML): Allows for compact circuit designs and efficient assembly.
• High Reliability: Offers stable performance over a wide temperature range.
• Low Leakage Current: Minimizes power losses in the reverse direction.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets environmental regulations for hazardous substances.

Benefits

• Stable Voltage Reference: Provides a consistent voltage level for accurate circuit operation.
• Overvoltage Protection: Protects sensitive components from damage due to voltage surges.
• Compact Size: Allows for integration into small form-factor devices.
• Easy to Use: Simple to incorporate into existing circuits.
• Improved Circuit Performance: Enhances the stability and reliability of electronic circuits.

Technical Specifications

The MAZ8056UML has a key characteristic: a Zener voltage (Vz) of approximately 5.6V. However, the exact Zener voltage and tolerance should always be verified in the datasheet. The power dissipation is usually low. The package type UML indicates it's a small surface mount package. Reverse leakage current, Zener impedance and forward voltage are also important parameters. Always consult the datasheet for the specific electrical characteristics and operating conditions for accurate design.
