3KP8.0A-B Application Field and Working Principle

TVS – Diodes are an important part of modern electronic device designs. They protect sensitive components against ESD, EMI, and electro-mechanical shock. The 3P8.0A-B is a unidirectional TVS-Diode, with an electrostatic discharge breakdown voltage of at least 8kV. Its low capacitance ensures fast signal edge rates and low EMI susceptibility, making it a suitable choice for high-speed board-level protection.

Application Field

The 3KP8.0A-B is used to protect sensitive components against ESD and EMI. It is designed to be used in a wide range of applications, from consumer electronics to transportation and even medical devices. It is especially suitable for board-level protection in applications where high-speed signal edges are present.

Working Principle

The 3KP8.0A-B works by providing a low capacitance path for ESD current while maintaining an acceptable clamping voltage. The diode is rated for peak current of 8A for a given pulse duration. When operating in the ESD range, the diode can protect against up to 8kV of ESD voltage. With its low capacitance, the diode can activate quickly, and its clamping voltage is as low as 15V.

Conclusion

The 3KP8.0A-B is an excellent choice for board-level ESD and EMI protection. Its low capacitance ensures fast activation and low clamping voltage, and its rated peak current is suitable for most applications. This diode is suitable for a wide range of applications, including consumer electronics, transportation, and medical devices.
