824521541 Circuit Protection

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppression) Diodes provide protection from high voltage transients. They are designed to clamp high voltage transients to a safe level and are used in a variety of applications. The 824521541 is a diode specifically designed for ESD protection in high speed communication systems.

Applications

The 824521541 is designed to protect high speed digital signals such as USB, HDMI, DVI, MIPI, DisplayPort, and SATA. It is typically used in environment where electrostatically-induced damage is a potential issue such as automotive, industrial, medical, and telecommunications. It is specifically designed for high speed data lines up to 5 Gbps and works with I/O lines, differential pairs, and LVDS signals. The device provides an optimal balance of ESD protection, signal integrity, and power conservation.

Working Principle

The 824521541 uses a proprietary field-induced mixed mode diode known as FFD™ (Field-Follower Diode) technology. This technology uses an active region that is triggered by high voltage transients instead of a passive layer like traditional diodes. This enables the diode to reduce the clamping voltages while also reducing switching times to sub-nanosecond levels. The device also provides protection against high-energy transients as well as ESD-induced damage.

The device is composed of two parts: an anode and a cathode. When a high voltage transient is applied to the anode, the FFD™ technology activates and the diode moves into its “on” state. This redirects the transient to the cathode and it is safely dissipated as heat. The entire process occurs in nanoseconds and provides instantaneous protection from high voltage transients without compromising signal integrity or power consumption.

Conclusion

The 824521541 is a TVS diode specifically designed to provide ESD protection for high speed communication systems. It uses proprietary FFD™ technology to provide robust protection from high voltage transients without compromising signal integrity or power consumption. It is designed for use with high speed data lines up to 5 Gbps and is commonly used in industries such as automotive, industrial, medical, and telecommunications.
