TVS (transient voltage suppressor) diodes are commonly used components to safeguard against electrical surges in various electrical and electronic equipment. The 1N8180 is a type of TVS diode specifically designed for switching circuit applications. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the 1N8180.

1N8180 application field: The 1N8180 is a thyristor-type diode designed for use in switching applications such as power supplies, logic gates, and other switching applications. The 1N8180 is designed to withstand high voltage and current spikes that exceed the peak power handling of conventional diodes. As a result, the 1N8180 is often used in applications where reliability and precision are paramount. Additionally, the 1N8180 is suitable for use in both automotive and industrial applications.

Working principle: The 1N8180 is a thyristor-type diode that operates by using a reverse-bias voltage to greatly reduce the turn-on voltage. When the reverse bias voltage is increased to a certain level, the reverse-biased 1N8180 diode becomes forward biased, which increases its conduction capability. When the 1N8180 diode is activated, the current then flows most readily through it. As the current continues to flow, the reverse-biased voltage on the 1N8180 decreases and its conduction capacity decreases as well. Ultimately, when the reverse bias voltage reaches its normal level, the 1N8180 diode switches off. As a result, the 1N8180 diode is able to regulate current and protect against electrical surges.

The 1N8180 TVS diode is a reliable and versatile component that is used in a wide range of applications. Its reverse-biased voltage capability allows it to protect electric equipment from spiking current and voltage. The 1N8180 is suitable for use in both automotive and industrial applications, making it a popular choice for many electrical and electronic equipment applications.
