5KP200CA-HR

TVS Diodes have become an important component in a modern electronics design, used to provide protection for sensitive electronics against electrical overstress from short-term or transient high voltage or current threats. One of the many types of diodes out there, the 5KP200CA-HR Diode, is designed to provide an effective protection solution for both high and low speed signal lines (such as those found on high speed microcontroller circuits).

This diode is capable of providing an ultra-fast response time of less than 1ns and is therefore suitable for protecting against both high and low frequency transients that occur in modern electrical systems. It also has an ultra-low capacitance of 1.5pF which helps to minimize signal distortion. Because of its unique properties, the 5KP200CA-HR has a variety of applications in a wide range of devices such as:

• Computer/data processing equipment
• Medical/diagnostic instruments
• Telecommunications devices
• Consumer electronic products
• Home/industrial automation systems

The 5KP200CA-HR is a diode-based protection solution that works by diverting the surge energy away from the protected circuit, reducing the applied voltage to a safe level and thus preventing any electrical malfunctions. It is typically used in conjunction with other components to provide an added layer of protection against ESD (electrostatic discharge) and other transient events. The following diagram provides an overview of how it works:

The five stages of the operation are as follows:

1. The diode\'s breakdown voltage (V_BR) is determined by the power supply voltage and threshold voltage.
2. When a transient event occurs, the surge voltage causes the current to exceed the diode\'s limiting current (I_LIMIT).
3. The diode switches into conduction, diverting the surge away from the protected device.
4. The diode works to reduce the voltage to a safe level.
5. The current is then allowed to return to its normal level.

The 5KP200CA-HR Diode is an effective TVS diode solution that provides fast response to short-term or transient events while offering an ultra-low capacitance to minimize signal distortion. Its wide range of applications make it suitable for a variety of applications, including computers and telecommunications devices, as well as medical and consumer electronics.
