Application Field

The JANTX1N4099-1 is suitable for many types of applications, such as power supply regulation, voltage clamping, polarity protection, overvoltage protection, bridge rectifier protection, ESD protection, and snubbing circuits. It’s often used in automotive, computer, and communication systems.

Working Principle

The JANTX1N4099-1 works in a Zener breakdown mode, in which it’s biased in reverse-mode. This means that current flows from the anode side to the cathode side of the diode. When the voltage across the diode reaches a certain level (the Zener voltage), the conductivity of the device increases drastically and current starts to rapidly flow through it. This current provides a regulated output voltage, which is usually set to a specific voltage corresponding to voltage rating of the diode.

Conclusion

The JANTX1N4099-1 is a single zener diode with excellent temperature stability, low-leakage current, and a wide power rating range. It is suitable for many types of applications, such as overvoltage protection, bridge rectifier protection, polarity protection, and snubbing circuits. It’s often used in automotive, computer, and communication systems. The diode operates in a Zener breakdown mode and provides a regulated output voltage when the voltage across it reaches its Zener voltage.
