Working Principle

A Zener diode is a semiconductor device that is designed to provide a constant voltage supply over a wide range of changing temperatures and current levels. A Zener diode is essentially a diode with a heavily doped PN-junction. This allows electrons to travel from the N-type semiconductor to the P-type semiconductor, creating a stable voltage level.

JANTX1N4100-1 consists of a PN-junction with a heavily doped N-type semiconductor and a lightly doped PN-type semiconductor. The light doping allows electrons to flow freely from the N-type semiconductor to the PN-type semiconductor, creating a constant voltage source. The N-type semiconductor also serves as a resistor, limiting the amount of current that can flow between the two terminals.

When the voltage across the Zener diode reaches a certain point, this known as the Zener voltage, the diode will start to conduct. The amount of current conducted is dependent on the amount of voltage that is present. The Zener voltage of the JANTX1N4100-1 is 5.1V.

The Zener diode also helps to maintain a stable voltage level despite changes in temperature and current. As temperatures rise or current levels increase, the resistance of the junction will decrease, allowing more current to flow. This allows for a continuous stable voltage that can be relied upon in a variety of applications.

Conclusion

JANTX1N4100-1 is a single Zener diode with a rated voltage of 5.1V, an operating temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and a low reverse leakage current of 0.5mA. It is commonly used in low voltage power supplies, voltage regulator circuits, automotive electronic equipment, and other digital and analog circuits. Its heavily doped PN-junction allows a constant voltage supply to be created, and is stable over changes in temperature and current levels.
