TVS (transient voltage suppression) diodes are components widely used in the protection of power lines, as it can absorb transients and prevent them from propagating. 3KP series of diodes are one such type that are designed for high-speed transients protection. In this article, the application field and working principle of the 3KP22C TVS diode will be discussed.

The 3KP22C is a three-terminal, unidirectional diode specifically designed for use in high-speed automotive applications. This diode in particular is designed with low capacitance and low reverse leakage current, making it an ideal choice for applications with high switching speed and/or high data transmission rates. Notable applications include servos, mobile phones, discrete circuits, and automotive electronics among others.

The 3KP22C diode is designed to be connected in either a series or a parallel configuration with the power lines. When a transient event occurs, it will open, allowing the transient to be absorbed and preventing it from propagating to the rest of the circuit. As such, it acts as a clamp, keeping the power line voltage within a stable range. The diode will then reset when the event has ended, allowing the power line to return to its normal state.

The working principle of a TVS diode relies on the principle of avalanche breakdown. It is the process by which large electric fields accelerate electrons to sufficient velocities that they can cause further ionization. When a TVS diode is turned on, it becomes biased naturally, allowing an avalanche to occur. This results in a release of energy, which in turn clamps the voltage and absorbs the transient event.

Furthermore, the body and junction diodes in the 3KP22C series have been specially designed to reduce noise. The low capacitance of the body diode, together with the low leakage current of the junction diode, allows for excellent noise signal suppression, enabling it to handle even higher speeds and data transmission rates than standard TVS diodes.

In summary, the 3KP22C is a three-terminal, unidirectional diode designed with low capacitance and low reverse leakage current, making it ideal for applications with high switching speed and/or high data transmission rates. It works by utilizing the principle of avalanche breakdown in order to clamp and absorb transients, while at the same time suppressing any noise signals from interfering with the lines. It is a great choice for automotive electronics, servos, mobile phones, and discrete circuits amongst other applications.
