SA7.0-E3/73 application fields and working principles are related to the SA7.0-E3/73 TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diodes. These diodes are designed to protect sensitive electronic components from electrostatic discharges, voltage transients, and other surges. They are especially useful for protecting against electrical spikes, which can cause voltage levels to exceed the voltage ratings of components.

The advantage of these devices is that they are extremely fast acting, responding to a voltage transient or surge within a few nanoseconds. They are also relatively inexpensive. The downside is that they are fairly limited in their application, and need to be chosen with care for the specific application.

The SA7.0-E3/73 is typical of TVS diodes commonly used for protection against electrostatic discharges. They are low-profile devices, consisting of two small plastic packages containing a pair of silicon diodes in series. Each diode package is soldered onto the printed circuit board (PCB) in the desired locations. These devices are typically used in series with the device that needs to be protected from electrostatic discharges or voltage transients.

In operation, the diodes are forward biased during normal operation, but quickly become reverse biased when a voltage spike or transient occurs. This reverse bias limits the voltage spike from reaching the protected device, thus preventing damage. The diode packages are designed to withstand up to two times the specified voltage rating, allowing the protected device to remain in operation even with higher than normal voltage levels.

Another application for these devices is in the protection of high-speed computer equipment, particularly in extreme conditions such as lightning strikes. By providing a low-resistance pathway for the induced current, these devices help to limit the voltage level to prevent damage.

Finally, these devices are also used in audio systems to reduce switching transients and noise. By placing them between the switching source and the audio output, they provide a low-resistance, low-impedance path for the transient current, preventing it from being coupled to the audio signal.

In summary, SA7.0-E3/73 TVS diodes provide an effective solution to electrostatic discharges, voltage transients, and other surges that can destroy sensitive electronic components. By quickly limiting the voltage that reaches the protected device, these inexpensive devices can save money, and even save lives, from catastrophic failure.
