TVS - Diodes

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppression) diodes are a common type of device used for protection against voltage transients and switching surges. They typically have a breakdown voltage that is higher than the operating voltage of the device they are protecting. As their name implies, the devices are comprised of a diode (or multiple diodes) connected in series with a reverse-biased capacitance. The combination of the breakdown voltage, the capacitance, and its reverse-biased voltage provide the device with the capability of suppressing any voltage transient or switching surge that exceeds the breakdown voltage of the device.

The AQ15C-01FTG is a TVS diode specifically designed to protect electronic components from overvoltage transients and switching surges. It is available in TO-220, DO-214, and SOT-23 packages, and has a breakdown voltage of 15V with a maximum reverse current of 15mA. Its capacitance is typically 0.015pF and its total capacitance varies depending on the ambient temperature.

The AQ15C-01FTG is used in a variety of different applications, including automotive electronic systems, data and telecommunications, consumer electronics, office equipment, and medical electronics. It is also suitable for automotive applications such as electronic power steering and antilock braking systems. Its small size and low profile enable it to fit easily into tight spaces and its reverse leakage current is very low, making it highly reliable and effective in these applications.

Working Principle

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppression) diodes work by taking advantage of the reverse breakdown voltage of a diode connected in series with a reverse-biased capacitance. When the voltage across the diode exceeds the breakdown voltage, the capacitance begins to discharge in order to protect the device that it is connected to from the surge. The capacitance is chosen such that it will be able to discharge the surge before the voltage decreases again to a safe limit.

The AQ15C-01FTG uses a reverse-biased capacitance in order to allow it to protect against voltage transients and switching surges. When a voltage transient or switching surge exceeds the device breakdown voltage, the capacitance begins to discharge in order to reduce the voltage. The capacitance of the AQ15C-01FTG is typically 0.015pF and its total capacitance varies depending on the ambient temperature. The surge rating of the device is 15V with a maximum reverse current of 15mA.

In addition, the AQ15C-01FTG also possesses a low-impedance path that is less susceptible to damage from voltage spikes and transients. The low-impedance path provides the device with additional protection against overvoltage transients or switching surges. The device is also highly reliable due to its low reverse leakage current.

Conclusion

The AQ15C-01FTG is a TVS (Transient Voltage Suppression) diode specifically designed to protect electronic components from overvoltage transients and switching surges. It is available in a TO-220 package and also has a breakdown voltage of 15V, a maximum reverse current of 15mA, and a capacitance of 0.015pF. The AQ15C-01FTG is suitable for use in a variety of applications, including automotive electronic systems, data and telecommunications, consumer electronics, office equipment, and medical electronics. The device also has a low-impedance path that is less susceptible to damage from voltage transients and spikes, as well as a low reverse leakage current for improved reliability.
