TVS - Diodes

Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) diodes are an essential component in many electronics. They are designed to protect against voltage transients, or temporary voltage surges, that can damage or destroy sensitive electronic components. 5KP78C is a type of TVS diode designed to protect high-voltage circuitry from destructive voltage transients. The 5KP78C is used in a wide range of applications, including industrial, automotive and medical. In this article, we will discuss the application fields and working principle of this device.

Applications

The 5KP78C is a bidirectional TVS diode, meaning it can protect against both positive and negative voltage transients. This design makes it suitable for a wide range of circuits, including those with fluctuations in AC or DC power. The 5KP78C has a relatively high maximum peak pulse power rating, making it perfect for heavy-duty applications. Some of the most common application fields for the 5KP78C include:

• Industrial Controls and Automation
• Power Supplies
• Medical Equipment
• Automotive Electronics
• Computer, Network, and Telecom Equipment

The 5KP78C is also used in consumer electronics and audio/video equipment, as well as in automotive, marine, and other transportation applications.

Working Principle

The 5KP78C is a bi-directional diode, which means it operates by accepting current in either direction. When a voltage transient or surge is detected, the 5KP78C acts as a switch, diverting the surge away from sensitive components in the circuit. The diverting process occurs in two stages: the first stage is the clamping process, where the circuit is protected by clamping the transient voltage to an allowable level; and the second stage is the attenuation process, where the voltage is slowly reduced to allow the transient to dissipate harmlessly.In addition to protecting the components in the circuit, the 5KP78C also helps to reduce the noise and processing delays that can be caused by voltage transients. This is done by reducing the voltage overshoot and undershoot, and by providing a defined dip in the voltage envelope.

Conclusion

The 5KP78C is a type of bi-directional TVS diode designed to protect high-voltage circuitry from damaging voltage transients. It is suitable for a wide range of application fields, including industrial controls, automotive electronics, and medical equipment. The 5KP78C works by clamping and attenuating the voltage transient, providing protection for circuit components and reducing noise and processing delays.
