Brightking TVS Diodes
TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diodes are semiconductor devices designed to protect electronic circuits from voltage spikes and surges. They work by clamping excess voltage to a safe level before it reaches sensitive components. TVS diodes, built using diode technology, conduct in one direction and offer protection against threats like electrical fast transients (EFT), electrostatic discharge (ESD), inductive load switching, and even lightning.
Types and Characteristics TVS diodes come in two configurations:
- Unidirectional: Protects against voltage spikes in one direction.
- Bidirectional: Clamps voltage spikes from either direction.
Key parameters to consider when selecting TVS diodes include:
- Reverse Standoff Voltage (VR): The maximum voltage the diode can handle without conducting.
- Peak Pulse Current (IPP): The highest current the diode can conduct during a surge.
- Maximum Clamping Voltage (VC max): The voltage level at which the diode begins to conduct during a transient.
Applications TVS diodes are widely used for overvoltage protection in:
- MOS memory
- Microprocessors
- Telecommunication equipment
- AC power lines
- Consumer electronics
These diodes are particularly advantageous over standard diodes due to their larger P-N junction, which allows them to conduct higher currents safely. Their rapid response time ensures quick suppression of voltage spikes, minimizing potential damage to circuits.
Brightking’s TVS diode range provides reliable protection for integrated circuits, keeping your electronic devices safe from voltage transients and surges.
