BPH500YPV

BPH500YPV is a type of mixed-technology thyristor surge absorber produced by IXYS. It has advantages of low cost, fast turn-on time and high integration. It is mainly used in AC/DC power supplies and voltage spike protection. The BPH500YPV application field and working principle will be discussed in detail below.

The BPH500YPV mainly functions in electric power applications that utilize AC/DC power supplies. These power supplies typically output a variety of different voltages and current ratings. In order to protect the power supply and the attached components, the BPH500YPV is used to suppress high voltage spikes that may occur in the course of operations. The device utilizes a thyristor and a Zener diode combination to absorb the surge before any damage can be done.

The BPH500YPV has a trigger voltage that can be adjusted as low as 6.0V and as high as 8.0V, depending on the application requirements. This trigger voltage is also referred to as the thermoset voltage. The BPH500YPV also has a holding current rating of 200mA. When this holding current is exceeded, the BPH500YPV will switch off and begin absorbing the surge. This ensures that the power supply and resulting circuit is protected from any high voltage spikes that may occur.

The BPH500YPV also offers the advantage of a fast turn-on time. It can switch on in less than 5 microseconds from the time the input voltage reaches the thermoset voltage. This ensures that if a surge does occur, the BPH500YPV will begin absorbing it within this short span of time, thereby protecting the device from damage and allowing operations to continue uninterrupted.

In addition to protecting the device from damage, the BPH500YPV also has the advantage of being extremely integrated. It combines the thyristor and Zener diode in a single package, thus reducing the number of external components needed for protection. This in turn lowers costs and reduces the complexity of the overall board design.

In summary, the BPH500YPV is a type of mixed-technology thyristor surge absorber. It has a variety of advantages including a low cost, fast turn-on time and high integration. It is used mainly in AC/DC power supplies and voltage spike protection, and the trigger voltage can be adjusted from 6.0V to 8.0V. The BPH500YPV also boasts a 200mA holding current rating, with a fast turn-on time of less than 5 microseconds and integrating the thyristor and Zener diode into a single package. With all these advantages, the BPH500YPV is one of the leading surge absorbers on the market.
