TVS diode is an abbreviation of Transient Voltage Suppressor, which is a semiconductor device specifically designed to suppress voltage or electrical transient overvoltage phenomena typical of inductive loads. It provides a major role in limiting high voltage transients in power supplies and communication lines in electronics.

5.0SMLJ16A-TP is one of the most commonly used TVS diodes in the market. It is a low capacitance, medium-low capacitance, bidirectional protection device that offers enhanced protection against voltage transients induced by lightning and other transient voltage events. The device is designed to provide IEC 61000-4 level 4 ESD protection.

Application Field

5.0SMLJ16A-TP is suitable for all kinds of signal, power and communication interfaces that is sensitive to EMI, ESD transients, etc. It can provide reliable surge protection for various electronic devices.

It is often used in applications with high surge voltage where device stability is important. It can be used for all kinds of professional communication systems, such as broadcasting systems, radar systems, communication systems and so on. This device is also suitable for use in medical, automotive and other critical applications.

Working Principle

When positive overvoltage occurs on the P-side, the 5.0SMLJ16A-TP absorbs the excess current, thus protecting any other parts in the system. Similarly it is able to absorb the excess current when negative overvoltage occurs on the N-side. As the 5.0SMLJ16A-TP absorbs the excess current, its PN junction voltage will be increasing. When the junction voltage is higher than its breakdown voltage, electrical conduction takes place. When the overvoltage situation is removed, the PN voltage of the diode will begin to decline. The current conducted by the diode is inversely proportional to the PN voltage, thus the current will decrease until it is brought to its leakage value. In this way, the 5.0SMLJ16A-TP is able to protect the system from overvoltage transients.

The 5.0SMLJ16A-TP is able to provide a reliable protection from overvoltage because of its wide-range of breakdown voltages. It has a breakdown voltage of 5V, which is sufficient protection in the majority of the applications. It also has a wide operating temperature range that makes it suitable for use in a variety of different environments.

In addition to its overvoltage protection capability, the 5.0SMLJ16A-TP also provides ESD protection. It is capable of withstanding up to 4KV ESD on all pins. ESD protection is particularly important for sensitive components such as microprocessors and memory chips. The 5.0SMLJ16A-TP is able to absorb the energy from the ESD pulses, thus preventing damage to the system components.

The 5.0SMLJ16A-TP is capable of providing reliable protection from overvoltage, ESD and has a wide operating temperature range. It is suitable for use in a variety of different applications and environments, making it an ideal choice for any system.
