Central Semi Adds to CMDZ Series of Diodes

August 19, 2002 by Jeff Shepard

Central Semiconductor Corp. (Hauppauge, NY) extended the voltage range of its SUPERmini CMDZ Series of zener diodes packaged in the SOD-323 surface-mount case to cover a range of voltages from 1.8V (CMDZ1L8) to 47V (CMDZ47L), and all devices have been specified with a low test current (IZT) of 500µA. The CMDZ Series are high-quality, voltage regulators designed for applications requiring a low operating current, low leakage and a sharp knee.

The diodes are all rated for operation from -65 to +150 degrees C. The CMDZ Series are available either bulk packed or in 3,000 pieces on 7in tape-and-reel. Pricing starts at $0.12 each for 3,000 pieces on a 7in reel. Sample devices are available upon request directly from Central Semiconductor.
