JANTX1N3024C-1 is a Voltage Regulated Zener Diode that belongs to the single type of zener diode family. It is designed to provide low noise and power regulation in applications where transient response is a must. It provides a low forward voltage drop and higher peak currents, thereby making it suitable for use in applications requiring high power.

Application Fields:

The application fields of JANTX1N3024C-1 can vary from voltage regulation of communications systems, automotive circuits and system power supplies, to circuit protection. Highly regulated voltage levels are needed for communication applications and JANTX1N3024C-1 is reliable and stable in such applications. It is also used in high power applications such as power supplies and AC motor control applications.

Working Principles:

JANTX1N3024C-1 works on the principle of Zener diode breakdown. It has both diode and zener diode components, connected in series. When the diode is forward biased, the electrons start moving and the negative part of the applied voltage drops across the diode. When the crossed voltage increases beyond the Zener threshold, the Zener diode starts conducting in reverse. This Zener breakdown causes the current flowing across the Zener diode to increase rapidly and a voltage regulating effect is achieved.

The Zener breakdown is caused by the depletion of an electron hole in the N region due to the increasing reverse bias on the diode. As the depletion layer draws further apart, the voltage across the diode continues to increase and this increases with the reduction of the temperature. A highly regulated voltage level across the diode is achieved, which is used in the application.

Conclusion:

JANTX1N3024C-1 is a single type Zener diode that finds its application in high power applications such as AC motor control systems and power supplies. It works on the principle of Zener diode breakdown and provides a stable and regulated voltage level across the diode.
