TVS - Diodes

Transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diodes are electrical devices used to protect sensitive circuits from high voltage transients caused by electrical gear, power line surges, lightning, and electrostatic discharge. The 5KP60AHE3/73 is one of the most common TVS diodes, and is a member of the 5KP series from Advanced Semiconductor, Inc. (ASI).

Applications of 5KP60AHE3/73 TVS Diode

The 5KP60AHE3/73 is designed to provide protection to sensitive electronic components, like ICs and other high-value devices, from the damaging effects of high-voltage transients. This diode can also be used to protect equipment from interference signals which may be generated by the switching of other electrical devices.

The 5KP60AHE3/73 is suitable for many applications, including cellular phones, communications systems, satellite TV, computer motherboards, and other IC-containing devices. It is also used in power supply circuits, AC adapters, laptop battery protection, and in automotive applications where high-voltage transient protection is needed. The diode is available in a variety of packages and configurations, allowing it to fit easily into any tight space requirements.

Working Principle of 5KP60AHE3/73 TVS Diode

The 5KP60AHE3/73 is a unidirectional TVS diode which operates by clamping the voltage at its breakdown voltage. This diode is triggered early in the cycle of a high-voltage transient. The diode then conducts excess current away from the sensitive circuit, limiting the voltage to the breakdown voltage of the diode. This reduces the voltage and prevents damage to the components in the circuit.

The 5KP60AHE3/73 is rated to suppress transients up to a peak pulse power of 60A at 8/20μs. It has a peak pulse source current of 8A and a peak pulse sink current of 18A. The breakdown voltage is 5.7V and its maximum clamping voltage is 7.1V. Its maximum leakage current is 10μA and it features an operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

The 5KP60AHE3/73 has many features that help it to perform its protection function effectively, including its laser-graded junctions and precise tolerances. This diode also has internal metal oxide varistors (MOVs) which limit the voltage during transients. Its fast response time protects the components in the circuit from high-voltage sags and spikes.

Conclusion

The 5KP60AHE3/73 TVS diode is a versatile device that can be used to protect sensitive components and circuits from high-voltage transients. It is a reliable diode with specifications that make it suitable for a variety of applications. It features a fast response time and robust construction, offering reliable protection for circuits.
