Transient voltage suppression components, often referred to as TVS diodes, are becoming increasingly important in protecting circuits from high-energy surges. They are an integral part of power supply designs, protecting sensitive device components from electrical damage due to overvoltage. When used correctly, they can not only safeguard or repair the electrical components, but also extend their life. This article will discuss the BSPM1A48D60LV application field and the working principle of TVS - Varistors, MOVs.

BSPM1A48D60LV Application fields

The BSPM1A48D60LV is an ultra low current Tvs device, designed for motion applications. It is a highly integrated product. It has an ultra-low capacitance and provides a variety of drive and sensing advantages. The device is available in two different versions, the single mode and the dual mode. The single mode is used for protection against ESD, EFT and transients for 1A. The Dual Mode version is used for protection against ESD, EFT, and transients for up to 3A. The device is also suitable for high frequency transmission line applications. It is ideal for applications with low speed, low power, and low VCC operation.

The device can be used in digital motion control, power line ESD/EFT protection, surge protection, low power switching, brushless motor driver protection, load dump protection, and dual motor driver protection. Its low leakage current provides a good solution for energy saving applications. It provides very fast response time, low clamping voltage, and low noise performance. Due to its low capacitance, it can be used in high-frequency transmission line applications. Its high temperature endurance makes it suitable for harsh environment applications.

Working principle of TVS - Varistors, MOVs

TVS – Varistors, MOVs are components used to protect circuits against transients. They are based on the principle of a voltage dependent resistor, which is basically controlling and limiting the amount of current. The term MOV stands for Metal Oxide Varistors, which are a type of semiconductor based on metal oxide compounds. MOV\'s can be used to protect low voltage components against surges and other high voltage transients.

Varistors are constructed using two layers of electrodes and a thin insulating layer of oxide in between. When the voltage is applied, the electrons in the oxide layer move to the metal side of the device. This allows current to flow, creating a voltage drop across the varistor. If the voltage is too high, the current flow will increase, creating a clamping effect, and limiting the voltage to a safe level.

MOVs also operate on the same principle, but do not have a negative temperature coefficient and can not clamp voltage. However, they are much slower than varistors, and are often used to protect against lightning surges. MOVs are also more robust to voltage overshoot and are less prone to failure.

Both varistors and MOVs are important components in power supply designs. They can provide protection against overvoltage and high-energy transients, and are a vital part of ensuring the safety of electronic components. By understanding the principles and application fields of TVS - Varistors, MOVs, designers can create power supplies that are always safe and reliable.
