1V5KE82CA

TVS - Diodes or Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) are used to protect circuits against the effects of transients or over-voltage spikes that can result in damage to the circuits in the system. The 1V5KE82CA is a TVS diode that is used to provide over-voltage protection of data lines, signal lines, and power bus lines, due to its low profile and small footprint allowing it to fit into tight spaces.

This TVS diode boasts a high energy absorption capability which helps it to clamp the voltage down very quickly, meaning that the circuit being protected can be safe from damage. It also has an extremely low operating voltage which helps to limit the amount of current that flows through the diode. In terms of applications, the 1V5KE82CA is commonly used in automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics.

From a working principle perspective, the 1V5KE82CA diode works by providing a low resistance over-voltage path when an input signal reaches a predetermined level of voltage. This will help to prevent the voltage from further increasing, as it will be diverted away from the normal signal path. The result is a low impedance path for the signal, meaning it is actually over-stressed.

In order to ensure that the diode is able to serve its purpose correctly, it is important to have an appropriate selection of components on hand. It is usually necessary to use a resistor in series with the TVS diode to ensure that it remains in a conducting state only when the proper voltage is applied. On top of that, the combination of active and passive components also helps to provide a more complete protection.

When it comes to installation, TVS diodes should be placed as close to the point of protection as possible. This will ensure that the diode is able to respond quickly to any over-voltage condition. It is important to make sure that the diode is sized correctly, as too small a diode could be subjected to too much current in the event of a transient.

To summarize, the 1V5KE82CA TVS diode is used for providing a transient voltage suppression for data lines, signal lines, and power bus lines. It has a high energy absorption capability, low operating voltage, and can be installed close to the point of protection. It is commonly used in automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics, and requires an appropriate selection of components to ensure it serves its purpose correctly.
