TVS - Diodes

3KP16-B application field and working principle

TVS diodes are solid-state, unidirectional, bidirectional, or reverse-acting components that have a pair of p-n junction diodes connected back-to-back to form a bridge circuit, with a low-impedance connection between anode and cathode. The design of the TVS diode allows for the switching of relatively high voltages, as well as the protection of low current levels.

3KP16-B TVS Diode is designed to protect electronics and other devices from overvoltage and electrostatic discharge (ESD). It is rated for 16V peak pulse breakdown and can handle a continuous reverse leakage current of 1000μA at 25°C. The 3KP16-B is specially designed to clamp very fast transient levels of a few nanoseconds to 1 microsecond. Its low clamping voltage combined with the fast response time make it suitable for a wide variety of ESD protection applications.

The working principle of the 3KP16-B TVS Diode can be summarized as follows: under normal conditions, the diode behaves just like any other p-n junction diode, with the junction not being forward biased. When a transient overvoltage is applied to the junction, the built-in field at the junction causes the diode to become forward biased, thereby allowing the current to flow. When the overvoltage transient subsides, the diode returns to its original state, becoming reverse biased and again blocking any current from flowing through the junction.

The 3KP16-B TVS Diode is widely used in a range of different applications from consumer electronics to automotive, defense, medical, and industrial fields. In consumer electronics, the 3KP16-B is often used to protect electronic components from electrostatic discharge and overvoltage conditions. In automotive applications, the 3KP16-B can be used to provide ESD protection for electronic control units, while in the defense and medical sectors the diode is often used to suppress high voltage transients that may affect the performance of sensitive electronic equipment.

In conclusion, the 3KP16-B TVS Diode is a highly reliable and robust diode that can quickly and effectively reduce electrostatic discharge and overvoltage conditions to safe levels without causing any damage to the electronics or components. Its flexibility makes it suitable for a wide variety of applications, while its fast response time allows it to effectively protect electronics from high voltage transients.
