Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm package type and compliance status. Confirm RoHS compliance details as availability may vary by region. Check for any obsolescence notices or lifecycle changes directly from Microchip Technology before finalizing procurement plans.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable 12.8 V reference is required under varying thermal conditions. Ensure the circuit design accommodates the 400 mW power rating and 200 Ohm dynamic impedance. Verify that the through-hole DO-7 package fits the board layout constraints and assembly requirements.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to Microchip's discrete semiconductor portfolio, specifically within the Zener diode category. It is often associated with legacy Actel specifications following Microchip's acquisition activities. The component serves as a specialized voltage regulator distinct from standard general-purpose Zener diodes due to its compensation characteristics.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 12.8 V temperature-compensated Zener diodes from Microchip or equivalent manufacturers. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal performance metrics before substitution.
