Working Principle

The working principle of the JANTX1N4101-1 diode is based on the PN junction diode principle. The diode is made from a semiconductor substrate material, which acts as a barrier between two areas of semiconductor material with different doping concentrations. By applying a voltage across the PN junction, the current will be limited to a specific level, depending on the design of the diode. The Zener voltage regulation feature of the JANTX1N4101-1 controls the current flow by limiting the amount of current that is allowed to pass through the diode.

The way that the diode works is by limiting the amount of current that is allowed to flow. When the voltage across the PN junction exceeds the breakdown voltage of the diode, the current will be limited. As the voltage continues to increase, the current begins to drop, resulting in the Zener voltage regulation of the diode. The Zener voltage regulation provides protection to sensitive components and circuits by helping to protect against over-current and thermal runaway.
