TVS - Diodes

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) Diodes are electronic components used to protect sensitive electronic components from voltage spikes and transients. They are diodes specially designed to limit voltage transients by clamping them to a safe voltage level. They have a high surge rating and low clamping voltage, making them ideal for use in a variety of applications, such as on automotive, power and telecommunications for protection of combined digital and analog signals.

The 5KP43CA is a unidirectional TVS diode that is designed to protect against electrostatic discharge (ESD) and lightning induced surge events. It is a P6KE type diode, with a maximum working voltage of 43 volts and a maximum peak Pulse Power of 5000. It has a fast response time of less than 1 ns, making it suitable for use in high-speed data and signal lines.

Application Field

The 5KP43CA is commonly used in a wide variety of applications, such as in automotive, power and telecommunications, for protection of combined digital and analog signals. It can be used to protect computer ports, I/O board circuits, power boards, power supplies, and sensitive application specific devices from damage caused by ESD and lightning induced surge events.

It is also used in industrial applications, such as in factory automation systems, for the protection of combined power and communication circuits, or for protecting integrated control circuits from high transients. Furthermore, it is widely used in consumer electronics, such as in portable digital devices or home appliances.

Working Principle

The 5KP43CA operates by clamping transients to a safe voltage level. The working principle is that, when an overvoltage occurs, the device becomes forward-biased and a large negative surge current is shunted away from the circuit, dissipating the transient energy. It is then restored back to its normal blocking state.

The device is designed with a dual purpose in mind. It can act as either a Positive temperature coefficient or a Negative temperature coefficient device, allowing it to absorb a large amount of surge energy. Additionally, the device has a fast response time, which is important for the protection of high-speed data and signal lines.

In addition, the device is designed with mechanical stability in mind. It is manufactured using a four-layer construction, allowing it to withstand harsh environmental conditions. It is also designed to have low leakage current, allowing it to have a long lifetime.
