Working Principle

The JAN1N5535C-1 is a zener diode which is used for voltage regulation applications. It works by using the zener breakdown effect, which is an avalanche breakdown at a certain reverse bias voltage. This reverse bias voltage is referred to as the Zener Voltage(VZ). During the normal operation, the Zener voltage is applied by the power supply to the zener diode from the anode to the cathode. When the reverse voltage applied across the zener diode exceeds the Zener voltage(VZ), a current will start to flow. This is known as the Zener current and as the current flows, the voltage across the diode will remain constant and it will not increase anymore. This is how the JAN1N5535C-1 is able to regulate the voltage of a power supply.

Conclusion

The JAN1N5535C-1 is a single Zener diode designed for voltage regulation applications. It is specifically designed for low-cost power supply regulation, stability over temperature and time, and reverse current protection. It is also suitable for use in DC-DC converters, voltage detection circuits, and automotive electronics. The diode works by using the zener breakdown effect, wherein a current starts to flow once the reverse voltage applied exceeds a certain value, thus allowing it to regulate the voltage of a power supply.
