Diodes - Zener - Single

JANTX1N4956CUS is a popular single zener diodes. A zener diode is a special type of diode that allows current to flow in the forward direction, just like an ideal diode, but will also permit it to flow in the reverse direction when the voltage is above a certain value. This value is known as the diode\'s “Zener voltage”.

JANTX1N4956CUS diodes have a reverse breakdown voltage of 5.6V and a power rating of 500mW. They are widely used in voltage reference applications, such as power supplies and circuit regulations. They are also used in low power switching applications and to provide a reference voltage for voltage regulation circuits.

The working principle of JANTX1N4956CUS diode is based on the use of a P-N junction. When the diode is connected in a circuit such that the anode is at a greater potential than the cathode, a reverse-biased voltage is applied across the diode. This voltage is greater than the P-N junction\'s reverse breakdown voltage, which causes the depletion region to become so thin that the electrons from the N-type semiconductor can jump across the junction into the P-type semiconductor. This generates an electric field across the junction, which results in current flow.

When the diode is connected in the forward direction, the reverse bias voltage is replaced by a forward-bias voltage, causing current to flow in the forward direction. This flow of current produces a voltage drop across the diode, making it a voltage reference source.

JANTX1N4956CUS can be used in a wide variety of applications including switching power supplies, voltage references, and low power switching applications. They are also used in voltage regulation circuits, where they provide a reference voltage for the circuit.
