Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) are an important type of diode used in the protection of electronic components from damage caused by voltage transients. The 5KP series of TVS diodes, manufactured by IXYS, are designed specifically to protect sensitive electronic components from over voltage conditions, and are the workhorse of ESD (electro-static discharge) protection. Their ability to absorb and hold off high voltages has made them popular in a wide variety of applications, from automated test equipment (ATE) to industrial and consumer electronic circuits.

The 5KP series of TVS diodes were designed to provide protection against the destructive effects of ESD. ESD occurs when static electricity builds up on a component, and is then discharged. If left unchecked, ESD can cause component damage, bent or broken leads, and formation of electrical shorts. The 5KP series of TVS diodes are designed to absorb the energy resulting from ESD, preventing it from damaging the component.

The 5KP series of TVS diodes are available in a variety of form factors, from surface mount to through-hole devices. The 5KP20A-G is a surface mount SMA 2-pin package, rated at a peak pulse power of 500W. This device is ideal for applications where power dissipation needs to be minimized, such as mobile phones, cameras, and other hand-held devices.

The 5KP20A-G TVS diode is designed to provide ESD protection in a variety of operating environments. Its high surge capability and low clamping voltage make it an ideal choice for protecting sensitive circuits from overvoltage conditions caused by electro-static discharge. The chief differences in the 5KP20A-G and other 5KP family members are the peak power rating and the package size.

The 5KP20A-G TVS diode works by providing a path for current to flow when voltage levels exceed its breakdown voltage. Its peak power rating indicates the maximum power it can absorb without sustaining damage. The device also has an internal voltage regulator to ensure consistent performance over temperature changes. The diode can be used for applications such as ESD and surge protection, transient voltage suppression, voltage "Brown-Out" protection, and as an aid in the reduction of conducted emissions.

The main benefit of using the 5KP20A-G TVS diode is its ability to absorb and hold off high voltage transients. This makes it an ideal choice for environments subject to over voltage conditions, such as ATE, automotive systems, and industrial electronics. It provides fast and reliable protection from damaging voltage spikes and oscillations, making it a valuable component in applications where reliability and protection are paramount.

The 5KP20A-G is a great choice for protecting sensitive electronic components from ESD, voltage spikes, and other over voltage conditions. Its small size and high surge capability make it perfect for use in mobile and hand-held devices. Its fast response time and low clamping voltage make it an ideal choice for a range of applications, from ATE to consumer electronics.
