TVS - Diodes: 1.5KE10CHE3/73 application field and working principle

A Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode is an electronic component used to protect electronic circuits from overvoltage events like electrostatic discharge (ESD). It is a solid state diode that is used to prevent voltage spikes from damaging sensitive components. The 1.5KE10CHE3/73 is a television suppressor diode that has a voltage of 1500V and a surge current of 10KA. It is designed to provide superior electrical circuit protection in a variety of applications that require high ESD protection.

This type of diode can be used in various fields such as medical electronics, automotive electronics, consumer electronics and industrial electronics. It is also well suited for use in applications such as motor control, power systems and communication systems. The 1.5KE10CHE3/73 has a low maximum clamping voltage and excellent reverse surge capability, making it ideally suited for such applications.

The working principle of the 1.5KE10CHE3/73 transient voltage suppressor diode consists of three layers: the negative electrode, the anode, and the gate. When an overvoltage condition occurs, the gate conducts current between the negative electrode and the anode, providing protection to the circuit. The anode prevents further current flow when the voltage decreases below a certain level, known as the gate threshold voltage.

The 1.5KE10CHE3/73 has an additional protection mechanism, known as the dynamic breakdown clamping voltage. This is a lower clamping voltage that is generated when the diode is subjected to high voltage pulses. This allows the diode to absorb up to 10KA of surge current before it begins to shut down, providing greater protection against overvoltage events.

Additionally, the 1.5KE10CHE3/73 provides superior ESD protection. Its on-state dynamic resistance is very low, thereby allowing the diode to conduct more current while still providing adequate protection against ESD. This ensures that no damage is done to the device during ESD testing.

The 1.5KE10CHE3/73 transient voltage suppressor diode offers superior electrical protection in various applications and has a very low clamping voltage and excellent reverse surge capability. It is a reliable and low cost solution for overvoltage protection, ESD protection, and motor control circuit protection. It is a must-have for anyone looking to protect their circuits from potentially damaging overvoltage events.
