TVS (transient voltage suppressor) diodes are widely used to clamp breakdown voltages or pulses in order to protect electronic equipment from surge damage. BZW04-23-E3/54 is an example of this type of device, which can be used to manage transient over-voltage events, helping reduce potential device damage. The following will outline the application field and working principle of BZW04-23-E3/54.

Application Field of BZW04-23-E3/54

BZW04-23-E3/54 is a bi-directional, high-performance, two-terminal transient voltage suppressor device. It is designed for primary protection against high-energy transients, including lightning, in automotive, datacom, and other communication systems. The built-in varistor enables a high degree of flexibility in controlling surge voltage. The device can be used in combination with transformer or other space-saving products, allowing faster over-voltage protection.

BZW04-23-E3/54 is especially suitable for use in applications that require higher surge performance than that provided by basic TVS elements. It is especially well suited for use in EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP and communication networks, which often require an additional level of protection to protect against high levels of surges.

Working Principle of BZW04-23-E3/54

BZW04-23-E3/54 is based on the principle of a varistor (variable resistors). In this type of device, a metal oxide layer is sandwiched between two pieces of conductive material, forming a junction. When the voltage across the junction rises above a certain level, electrons from the metal oxide are swept away by the electric field, causing an increase in the resistance. This, in turn, limits the amount of current that can flow between the two electrodes.

During a surge, the varistor begins conducting any excess current to ground, thus clamping the voltages above its breakdown value and preventing damage to the circuit or system. When the surge event is over, the varistor\'s performance returns to normal and the device is ready for use again.

The BZW04-23-E3/54 has a high breakdown strength of 34 V and a low leakage current of 0.1 Q. It has a very fast response time (less than 1ns) and can handle high-energy transients up to 3.5KV. This makes it ideal for applications such as Ethernet networks and automotive applications, as it can provide reliable protection from over-voltage events.

Conclusion

In conclusion, BZW04-23-E3/54 is a high-performance, two-terminal TVS diode designed for primary protection against high-energy transients. It has a high breakdown strength of 34 V and a low leakage current of 0.1 Q. The device is well-suited for applications such as Ethernet networks and automotive applications, as it can provide reliable protection from over-voltage events. Its built-in varistor provides a high degree of flexibility in controlling surge voltage, allowing faster over-voltage protection. Thus, BZW04-23-E3/54 is a great choice for any protection-related requirement.
