TVS-Diodes offer a wide variety of protection against various surges. Their application fields include protecting and controlling high-speed data lines like USB and Ethernet, and protecting power supplies. As an example of such a diode, the A05KP20CD-G is a 3-terminal unidirectional TVS diode with an ultra-low capacitance of only 1.3 pF.

The A05KP20CD-G is a robust and reliable device designed for low capacitance ESD and EFT protection applications. It can be used to protect all types of digital signaling ICs including, memory, ASIC/ASSP, DPMIC, and FPGA. It features an internal low capacitance chip design, low leakage current and is capable of providing a peak pulse current greater than 1500 A. It is also designed to use a wide range of supply voltages ranging from 4V to 15V.

The primary function of the A05KP20CD-G is to provide transient overvoltage protection for sensitive signal lines. It does so by diverting the energy from harmful surge currents that may be caused by various sources, such as static electricity, storms, EMI, and power supply spikes. This prevents damage of the sensitive components and enables the system to continue functioning properly.

The A05KP20CD-G is constructed using a series of pins that are connected between the diode and the ground. The device is made up of three layers. The first layer is a dielectric substrate which acts as a buffer layer. This prevents the surge currents from passing directly to the second layer, which is a metal oxide layer that acts as a dielectric capacitor. The last layer is a silicon dioxide layer, which acts as a rectifier and also provides protection against reverse polarity.

Once an overvoltage is detected, the A05KP20CD-G will immediately divert the current away from the sensitive components. This is done by the metal oxide layer, acting as a dielectric capacitor, to disperse the energy so that it does not travel to the delicate parts of the circuitry. The silicon dioxide rectification layer ensures that only the desired direction of current flows through the diode. The rectifier helps to further reduce the amount of energy that is transferred to the protected components.

The A05KP20CD-G provides superior ESD protection and EFT protection, making it a reliable solution for applications such as industrial electronics, automotive, data transmission, consumer electronics, and telecommunications. It is also applicable to medical and military applications for providing protection against lightning and other transient events. This device is designed with a high tolerance to withstand fast transient surge currents and voltages.

In conclusion, the A05KP20CD-G is an ideal solution for providing ESD, EFT, and surge protection against various harmful electrical overvoltages. It features an ultra-low capacitance of just 1.3 pF, making it suitable for protecting high-speed data lines like USB and Ethernet. It is also designed with a wide operating range of 4V to 15V and an impressive peak pulse current of 1500 A, making it effective for protecting sensitive components even under the harshest of conditions.
