TVS - Diodes

Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) are an important class of devices used in a variety of industries to protect sensitive electronics from voltage transients, spikes, surges, and other electrical disturbances that can damage or disrupt the operation of an electronic circuit. TVS devices are available in a variety of configurations and architectures, from simple avalanche diodes to more complex structures that include integrated protection elements. TVS devices are used in a range of applications, from ultra-fast switching circuit protection to LIDAR and sensor protection.

1.5KE8.2AHA0G Application Field

The 1.5KE8.2AHA0G is a High ESD protection TVS designed specifically for lightning and electrostatic discharge protection applications. It is used in industrial, medical, and consumer equipment including telecommunications, networking, computers, RF/microwave, military instrumentation, automotive, and other fields. It offers superior protection from destructive voltage events, such as electrostatic discharge (ESD), electrical fast transients (EFT), and lightning induced surges.

1.5KE8.2AHA0G Working Principle

The 1.5KE8.2AHA0G TVS is constructed of a PN junction diode with an ultra low capacitance (<0.1 pF typical) that is designed to withstand high voltage transients in the range of -10V to +12.5V. This device is designed to limit the peak current that can flow during an ESD or lightning surge event. The TVS has a quick turn-on time and is capable of stopping high peak currents in the range of 100A to 200A. The TVS is also designed to stand off such high voltage transients without sustaining damage itself.

The protection mechanism of the 1.5KE8.2AHA0G is designed to be effective against all typical transient voltage events. It is designed to operate non-destructively, with an extremely low maximum junction temperature tolerance. The device dissipates very little power in its normal operation, as it is designed to operate in a dormant state until triggered by a voltage transient. Once triggered, the device will remain in an active state until the transient has been discharged.

The 1.5KE8.2AHA0G also incorporates dual ESD protection diodes for an extra level of protection. These diodes are designed to clamp the spikes to a maximum safe voltage level and prevent voltage transients from passing through the device and potentially damaging the connected electronics. This device also utilizes a Zener diode in order to restrict any excessive current that might flow through the device during a transient event.

Conclusion

The 1.5KE8.2AHA0G Transient Voltage Suppressor is an essential component in the protection of sensitive electronics from voltage transients, surges, and lightning-induced events. Its unique design offers excellent protection characteristics and its wide application range make it an ideal solution for many types of protection applications. The 1.5KE8.2AHA0G is an ideal solution for all types of transient protection applications.
