TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) is a type of diode that is used to protect sensitive electronic components from transient voltage protection. The 3SMC16A series of BK (Bi-directional) TVS Diodes was designed to protect against transient overvoltage caused by switching surges and electrostatic discharges (ESD). It provides a fast response time and high ESD immunity, making it an ideal choice for use in a wide range of applications.

The 3SMC16A series of BK TVS Diodes provide protection from transient overvoltage in two distinct ways - the first being direct clamping of the voltage to a specified maximum level; the second being the directed flow of current that is allowed to pass through the TVS diode. In direct clamping, the voltage equation that is used to determine the voltage-clamp is as follows:

Vclamp = Vtr + 2 x Ipp

Where Vclamp is the maximum voltage that can be allowed through the device and Vtr is the breakdown voltage of the TVS diode. Ipp is the peak pulse current that can be allowed through the device.

In the second method of protection, directed current is allowed to pass through the device, with the result being a much lower voltage spike. This method of protection is ideal for applications or systems that see frequent ESD events and need protection from transient overvoltage quickly and reliably.

The 3SMC16A series of BK TVS Diodes are available in a variety of packages and sizes for a range of different applications. The devices feature a low clamping voltage and low stand-off voltage, making them suitable for use in low voltage applications. Additionally, the devices are RoHS compliant and feature a low capacitance, making them suitable for use in high-speed applications.

The 3SMC16A series of BK TVS Diodes finds use in a wide range of applications, including automotive, home appliances, computers, telecom, and consumer electronics. In automotive applications, the 3SMC16A series is often used to protect sensitive components such as engine control computers from transients caused by wiring or lighting events.

In home appliances, the 3SMC16A series is used to protect against the transients caused by switching circuits and electro-static discharge. In telecom and computer applications, the device is often used to protect circuit boards and components from potentially damaging transient voltages.

The 3SMC16A series of BK TVS Diodes provide reliable protection from transient overvoltage in a wide range of applications. The devices feature a low clamping voltage, low stand-off voltage, and are RoHS compliant, making them suitable for use in both low voltage and high-speed applications. Additionally, the devices can also provide directed current for high ESD immunity, making them an ideal solution for applications that experience frequent ESD events.
