5KP51CAE3/TR13 Circuit Protection

TVS or transient voltage suppression diodes are a type of requirement that can limit or suppress transient voltage in circuit applications. 5KP51CAE3/TR13 is a common TVS- Diode option that provides a reliable source of transient voltage suppression and can be used in different applications.

5KP51CAE3/TR13 Application Field

This type of diode can be applied positively in any kind of circuit design that utilizes transient voltage suppression. This integrated circuit is mainly seen in automotive, communications, consumer and industrial applications. 5KP51CAE3/TR13 can be mainly used in power line protection and signal line protection. This device requires an input voltage of 14 volts, an operational temperature of -55 °C to 125 °C and a storage temperature of -55 °C to 150 °C. It has an available output current of 11A or 16A depending on the requirement.

5KP51CAE3/TR13 Working Principle

The 5KP51CAE3/TR13 works on the principle of breakdown voltage. If the input voltage is greater than the breakdown voltage, then the TVS diode will start functioning and suppressing transient voltages ranging from 4 to 17 volts and a pulse width from 8/20 µs to 1ms. The maximum rate of rise of voltage should be below 500 V/µS for this device. The transil operates on the Clamping Voltage principle.

In the case of transils, the clamping voltage is the maximum voltage that the diode can handle before it reaches the breakdown voltage. The 5KP51CAE3/TR13 has a normal temperature of -55 °C to 125 °C and it has a high temperature operating range of -40 °C to 125 °C. This device has a response time of less than 10 nanoseconds that helps it to suppress any kind of short-term volatge surge.

The pulse peak pulse power rating of 5KP51CAE3/TR13 is less than 1000W, with a peak power surge of 600W at 8/20 µs pulse width. It has a residual voltage of 1.8V and an clamping voltage of 17.8V, which means that the device will start working when the voltage crosses 18V.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the 5KP51CAE3/TR13 is a reliable source of transient voltage suppression for any kind of circuit applications and it is very useful for the automotive, communication, consumer and industrial sectors. It has a wide range of operating temperature and can handle maximum peak pulse power. This device works on the principle of breakdown voltage and Clamping Voltage at which it starts its functioning to suppress any kind of short-term surge in the voltage.
