824540101 Circuit Protection

TVS diodes are built into a variety of circuits and packages. The 824540101 device is a bidirectional low capacitance transient voltage suppressor (TVS). Its purpose is to protect circuits against electrical over-stresses or damage from electrical transients such as electrostatic discharge (ESD) or lightning, and also to protect itself from damage from high voltage transients.

As a typical TVS, the 824540101 is constructed of a pair of oppositely facing semiconductor diodes positioned back to back. The anode of the 824540101 is connected to the cathode of the other diode and the cathode of the 824540101 is connected to the anode of the other diode. This creates a bidirectional device with a high-speed (GHz) switching response.

The 824540101 is an ideal choice for a wide range of applications. It can be used in a variety of protection circuits such as ESD protection on the antenna pins of a wireless device, EMI protection on the power leads of an electrical device, surge protection on the input of a power supply, and input protection on a sensitive analog circuit.

The 824540101 is also ideal for battery charging applications. It is designed to provide transient protection on the charging regulator pins, allowing the regulator to function correctly and preventing damage to the charger. It also protects against voltage spikes and surges, as well as providing reverse polarity protection.

The 824540101’s metal silicon junction (MSJ) technology allows it to achieve industry leading performance and high reliability. It has a fast reaction time that enables it to effectively protect against ESD pulses and high voltage transients. This makes it suitable for medical, automotive, and other applications where failure is not an option.

The 824540101 can also be used in power management circuits. It can be used as an EOS (electrical overstress) power limiter, providing protection against overstressed conditions that may otherwise cause permanent damage to circuits. Its fast response time also makes it suitable for applications where inrush current must be limited.

The 824540101’s ability to handle high surge currents, combined with its fast response time, makes it an ideal choice for protecting circuits from transients such as lightning or ESD. It offers a wide operating voltage range (6-48V) and is designed for a long service life. As such, it is an essential component for protecting circuits in high reliability applications.
