TVS（Transient Voltage Suppressors）diodes, also referred to as surge suppression diodes, are a type of semiconductor devices commonly used to protect sensitive electronic components and systems from excessive voltage spikes created by lightning, power outages, or other sudden events. The BZA856A,115 is a high-power TVS diode designed to protect sensitive circuits from surges up to 500A and its medical applications include therapeutic ultrasound systems and medical imaging machines. This article will discuss the application field, working principles, design characteristics and practical applications of the BZA856A,115 TVS diode.

The BZA856A,115 has a low clamping voltage rating of 8.5V, which is much lower than most other TVS diodes. This makes it an ideal choice for protecting delicate electronic components from overvoltage caused by nearby lightning, power outages, or other sudden events. Because of its low clamping voltage rating, the BZA856A,115 is also suitable for use in medical device applications, such as therapeutic ultrasound systems and medical imaging machines. The BZA856A,115 is often used to protect low-power, high-value circuits from damage due to overvoltage.

The working principle of the BZA856A,115 is relatively simple but highly effective. As voltage across the diode increases beyond its clamping voltage rating, the diode starts to conduct and redirects the extra energy from the surge or noise to ground. This reduces the overvoltage on the system and protects it from damage. The current flows through the diode as long as the overvoltage is greater than the reverse breakdown voltage of the diode. When the overvoltage is reduced the diode stops conducting and allows current to flow unaffected.

The design of the BZA856A,115 was optimized to offer the best possible protection against overvoltage. The diode features a low on-state resistance of 0.006Ω, which ensures fast clamping and prevents further damage to the protected device. It also has a high temperature capability of 125°C, which allows for extended operation in high temperature environments. Additionally, it has a high surge rating of 500A, which ensures superior protection against the most extreme spikes and surges.

In addition to its applications in medical device protection, the BZA856A,115 TVS diode can also be used in a wide variety of consumer and industrial applications. It’s a perfect choice for protecting sensitive automotive electronics from damaging voltage spikes caused by spikes in the car’s alternator, as well as for protecting industrial control systems from lightning strikes or power outages. The BZA856A,115 is also suitable for use in consumer electronics, such as laptops or mobile phones, where it can protect valuable components from short-term voltage spikes caused by battery drain or short-circuit events.

In conclusion, the BZA856A,115 is an ideal choice for protecting sensitive circuits from overvoltage caused by nearby lightning, power outages, or other sudden events. It is suitable for use in a wide range of applications, including medical device protection, automotive electronics, industrial control systems, and consumer electronics. The diode has a low clamping voltage rating, a high temperature capability, and a high surge rating, which ensures superior protection against extreme voltage spikes. As such, the BZA856A,115 is one of the best choices for protecting sensitive circuits in a wide range of applications.
