Working Principle of JANS1N4462

This diode is a voltage-dependent semiconductor device. It consists of two junctions P and N (positive and negative) which are connected in series, forming an anode and a cathode. The junctions are connected through a reverse-biased P-N junction, called the Zener barrier.

The Zener voltage (Vz) of the diode is determined by the applied reverse bias voltage. When the reverse bias voltage is increase the Zener voltage will decrease, until it reaches a certain critical value,at which point, the voltage breakdown occurs; a large current begins to flow in the diode. The current is proportional to the reverse bias voltage. The voltage breakdown is known as the Zener or avalanche breakdown and is characterized by a saturated current-voltage (I-V) curve.

The Zener barrier can be used to produce a stable level of voltage regulation, regardless of line voltage and temperature variations. It is suitable for low-noise operation due to its low switching times. Moreover, it is particularly useful for stabilizing the voltage in AC circuits.

The Zener barrier can be used in a variety of applications, such as waveform shaping, waveform smoothing, line protection and dc-voltage stabilization. It can also be used for signal conditioning, signal isolation, signal processing, temperature protection and frequency filtering applications.
