JANTXV1N6348US

Diodes - Zener - Single

Diodes are semiconductor devices that can control current in either direction. Zener diodes are used primarily to provide a reference voltage, either in series or in parallel, for many applications. This article will discuss the application field and working principle for JANTXV1N6348US, a single Zener diode.

Application Field

The JANTXV1N6348US is designed for operation in automotive and commercial electronic systems requiring surge energy of 600 W. It is often used as a reference voltage in control systems, voltage protection circuits, and voltage regulators. In addition, it can be used in applications with power supplies, oscillators, linear applications, and AC/DC converters.

Working Principle

The JANTXV1N6348US is a single Zener diode that works on the principle of a reversed breakdown voltage. This voltage is known as the Zener voltage and is determined by the width of the depletion region in the semiconductor material. When the applied voltage exceeds the Zener voltage, a small current flows through the diode and creates a voltage drop. This drop can regulate the output voltage to the required level.

The JANTXV1N6348US is designed to provide a very sharp knee characteristic, meaning that when the Zener voltage is reached, the voltage drop increases very quickly and the current through the diode rapidly increases as well. This ensures accurate regulation of the output voltage. The diode has a peak forward current ratings of 8 A, a reverse breakdown voltage of 6.3 V, and a maximum reverse current of 15 �A. It also has an operating temperature range of -55 °C to 175 °C.

Conclusion

The JANTXV1N6348US is a single Zener diode that can be used in many applications requiring accurate regulation of the output voltage. It provides a very sharp knee characteristic, has a peak forward current rating of 8 A, a reverse breakdown voltage of 6.3 V, and a maximum reverse current of 15 �A. It has an operating temperature range of -55 °C to 175 °C and is ideal for use in automotive and commercial electronic systems requiring surge energy of 600 W.
