TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diodes are a type of electronic device that limits peak voltage. They are made of semiconductor materials, most commonly silicon or metal oxide varistor (MOV). The JAN1N6104US is a type of TVS diode which is widely used in the protection of electronic systems against voltage transients. In this article, we will discuss the application field and working principle of this device.

First, let us consider the application field of the JAN1N6104US. This device is mainly used to provide protection from electrostatic discharge (ESD). It is used in personal computers and other types of digital equipment to protect the circuit from voltage transients caused by ESD. In addition, this device can be used in automotive systems to protect against overvoltage and electrical surges caused by wiring faults or from external sources such as lightning.

Now, let us examine the working principle of the JAN1N6104US. This device consists of a pair of differentially connected p-n junction diodes. The device is connected in series between the two power supplies, with one diode connected to the positive supply and the other to the negative supply. It acts as a clamping circuit and when a voltage transient occurs, it reduces the peak voltage by clamping the voltage to the breakdown voltage of the device.

When the diode is at equilibrium, it is in reverse bias and behaves as an open circuit. When a reverse bias voltage is applied across the device, the current through it is limited due to the depletion layer. If the voltage increases beyond the breakdown voltage, the depletion layer decreases and the current increases. This increases the voltage drop across the device, effectively reducing the peak voltage.

The JAN1N6104US is a reliable device for protecting sensitive circuits against voltage transients. It can operate with a low clamping voltage and has a wide operating temperature range, making it suitable for use in a variety of applications. Moreover, it is low cost and easy to install, making it an ideal choice for many applications.
