Diodes are two-terminal devices and are among the simplest types of semiconductor discrete components. Their most notable characteristic is their unidirectional conductivity, meaning that current can flow in one direction but not the other. The 1N4148WS diode from JY Electronics is specifically designed for fast switching, making it a high-speed switching diode.

Key Features of JY Electronics 1N4148WS

The 1N4148WS is a versatile high-frequency switching diode that is easy to use, widely applicable, and offers excellent value for money. It is ideal for a variety of applications requiring fast switching capabilities.

Operating Modes of 1N4148WS

The 1N4148WS high-speed switching diode operates similarly to a signal diode, allowing current to flow in one direction (from anode to cathode). Depending on the connection across the voltage source, the 1N4148WS has two operating modes: forward-biased and reverse-biased.

• 1、Forward-Biased Mode: In this mode, the diode acts like a closed switch, allowing current to flow through it.
• 2、Reverse-Biased Mode: In this mode, the diode acts like an open switch, blocking current flow.

Application Case: Electric Toothbrush

The main components on the circuit board of an electric toothbrush may include driver chips, mixed-signal controllers, inverting latches, resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, transistors, MOSFETs, and power management chips. The circuits involved may include the main chip control circuit, power management circuit, lithium battery protection circuit, and voltage regulator circuit.

For example, one customer’s application uses the SOT-23 packaged transistor MMBT3904, the SOP-8 packaged MOSFET 4953, and the SOD-323 packaged diode 1N4148WS.

Application Case: Blood Pressure Monitor

The principle of a blood pressure monitor is to capture the oscillations generated during deflation and calculate the blood pressure value using a specific algorithm. Most electronic blood pressure monitors are designed based on the oscillometric principle. The monitor consists of power circuits, electronic measurement circuits, LED display circuits, driver circuits, sensor circuits, constant current source circuits, amplifier circuits, filters, and inflation/deflation control circuits. MOSFETs are used in the constant current source circuit for voltage and current regulation.

In one customer’s product, the SOT-23 packaged MOSFET 2301 and the SOD-323 packaged diode 1N4148WS are used.
