GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Littelfuse PolyZen devices are polymer
enhanced, precision Zener diode micro-
assemblies. They offer resettable
protection against multi-Watt fault events
without the need for multi-Watt heat
sinks.
The Zener diode used for voltage
clamping in a PolyZen micro-assembly
was selected due to its relatively flat voltage vs current
response. This helps improve output voltage clamping, even
when input voltage is high and diode currents are large.
An advanced feature of the PolyZen micro-assembly is that
the Zener diode is thermally coupled to a resistively non-
linear, polymer PTC (positive temperature coefficient) layer.
This PTC layer is fully integrated into the device, and is
electrically in series between VIN and the diode clamped
VOUT.
This advanced PTC layer responds to either extended diode
heating or overcurrent events by transitioning from a low to
high resistance state, also known as” tripping”. A tripped PTC
will limit current and generate voltage drop. It helps to protect
both the Zener diode and the follow on electronics and
effectively increases the diode’s power handling capability.
The polymer enhanced Zener diode helps protect sensitive
portable electronics from damage caused by inductive
voltage spikes, voltage transients, incorrect power supplies
and reverse bias. These devices are particularly suitable for
portable electronics and other low-power DC devices.
BENEFITS
 Stable Zener diode helps shield downstream
electronics from overvoltage and reverse
bias
 Trip events shut out overvoltage and reverse bias
sources
 Analog nature of trip events minimizes upstream
inductive spikes
 Minimal power dissipation requirements
 Single component placement
FEATURES
