A Transient Voltage Suppressor Diode (TVS Diode) is a form of semiconductor para-structure specifically designed to protect electronics against over-voltage and surge events. It plays an important role in providing the protection for electronic devices. The 15KPA64C component is a Silicon Carbide (SiC) Diode for TVS Protection application. It is part of the 15KPxxx series of Silicon Carbide Diode families that offer various reverse break down voltages between 4.5V to 515V.

The Applications Of 15KPA64C:

The 15KPA64C is ideal for applications such as Power Supplies, Server, Automotive, Telecom and Industrial. Common applications for this diode would include :

• Power supplies : Low current power supplies, AC/DC converters, Power converters, and DC/DC converters.
• Automotive : Battery management systems, Automotive audio systems, and Auto security systems.
• Telecom : Networking equipment, Wireless communication devices, and Distribution systems.
• Industrial : Industrial control systems, Industrial automation systems, electronic applications, and consumer electronics.

Working Principle:

The 15KPA64C works using a simple two-terminal construction. It contains anode and cathode, which are connected to P and N respectively. When the voltage at the cathode is higher than the anode, the current flows from the cathode to the anode. This is proportional to the voltage applied to the 15KPA64C component. During a surge event, the current is increased very quickly, up to a high value. At this point, the 15KPA64C enters into breakdown due to the increased current. The breakdown voltage is proportional to the size of the TVS diode. Thus, the higher the breakdown voltage, the higher the protection level.

In addition, the 15KPA64C can provide multiple protection levels. This is achieved by using a combination of the TVS type and size. As such, each protection level can be set to a different voltage level depending upon the application requirement. For example, for an application requiring surge protection of 300V or below, two TVS diode that provides 200V protection each will be a better choice than one TVS diode that provides 400V protection.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the 15KPA64C is a silicon carbide diode designed for transient voltage suppression (TVS) applications with excellent electrical characteristics. It is available in different reverse flow voltage levels, ranging from 4.5V to 515V, and provides multiple protection levels through a combination of types and sizes. The 15KPA64C is suitable for use in various applications such as AC/DC converters, Automotive audio systems, Industrial control systems, and consumer electronics.
