TVS - Diodes

A Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) Diode is a semiconductor electrical device used to protect a circuit from voltage spikes. It’s a two terminal component, with two separate electrodes (anodes and cathodes). This component is used to limit the voltage level of the output when an overvoltage is detected and to provide protection against negative transient over voltage.

A TVS Diode works by creating an internal electric field, which is stronger than that on the outside of the diode. This electric field is used to quickly respond to a voltage spike, which in turn prevents the circuit from being damaged. The TVS Diode works by providing two different types of leakage current: one that absorbs the energy during a voltage surge and one that dissipates the energy when the voltage surge begins to subside.

The 1V5KE30A TVS Diode is a 1500W, unidirectional, 5.0V, ESD transient voltage suppressor diode. It is designed to protect electronic components, such as microprocessors, from voltage spikes caused by ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD) and other over voltage events. This diode is capable of withstanding ESD pulses up to 15kV in human body model and up to 30kV in machine model. It is also capable of withstanding surges up to 30A and has a fast response time of 1ns typical.

1V5KE30A TVS Diodes can be used in a number of applications such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops, digital cameras, digital video cameras, and other consumer electronics. These diodes can also be used in automotive as well as industrial applications. It can also be used in circuit boards, communication equipment, and data processing systems.

The working principle of the 1V5KE30A TVS Diode is simple. When an overvoltage is detected, the diode quickly responds and limits the voltage by forming an internal electric field. This protects the circuit from damage due to the overvoltage. The device also absorbs any excess energy and dissipates it when the voltage eventually subsides.

In summary, the 1V5KE30A TVS Diode is an ideal device for protecting consumer electronics from voltage spikes caused by ESD and other overvoltage events. It is capable of withstanding ESD pulses up to 15kV in human body model and up to 30kV in machine model. It also has a fast response time of 1ns typical and can withstand surges up to 30A. The working principle of the 1V5KE30A TVS Diode is to quickly form an internal electric field when an overvoltage is detected and protect the circuit from damage.
