JAN1N4968D

Diodes - Zener - Single: JAN1N4968D Application Field and Working Principle

The JAN1N4968D is a single Zener diode that has a wide range of application fields. It is manufactured with an advanced planar technology, has high breakdown volts, and low zener impedance, making it ideal for providing stability in digital and analog circuits.

The JAN1N4968D is composed of an oxide-dissipated diode junction, with a high breakdown voltage, and low zener impedance. It also has excellent thermal stability, and is designed for increased performance. This makes it well suited for self-regulatory circuit applications, such as voltage regulators and voltage references.

The JAN1N4968D has a voltage rating of 5.6 volts and a reverse voltage rating of 5 volts. The device also has a maximum reverse leakage current of 10μA, a junction capacitance of 2.2 pF, a peak power dissipation of 200 mW and an operating temperature range of -55℃ to +110℃.

The working principle of the JAN1N4968D is based on the principle of Zener diode breakdown. When a potential difference is applied to the diode, an electric field is formed and the electrons in the diode start moving. As the electric field increases beyond the breakdown voltage of the diode, the electrons start to collide with each other and cause a decrease in the resistance of the diode. This results in a decrease in the applied voltage across the diode and a flow of current through the diode.

The Zener breakdown also allows the JAN1N4968D to provide stable voltage and current regulation. The current through the diode is monitored, and as long as the voltage across the diode remains below a certain limit, the diode keeps the current regulation constant. When the voltage across the diode reaches its breakdown voltage, the diode will adjust its current flow to maintain the voltage across the diode at a constant level.

In summary, the JAN1N4968D is a single Zener diode that has excellent thermal stability, good zener impedance and high breakdown voltage. It can be used for self-regulatory circuit applications, such as voltage regulators and voltage references. The device is designed for increased performance and has a maximum reverse leakage current of 10μA. It is also capable of providing stable voltage and current regulation due to its Zener breakdown working principle.
