TVS - Diodes

A TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) is an electronic device used to protect sensitive electronic equipment from overvoltage transients. TVS diodes are a voltage dependent form of protection that employs a high voltage Zener diode to protect against overvoltage transients.

The CD214B-T150ALF is a low capacitance bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode with a unidirectional breakdown voltage of 150 Volts. The diode is specifically designed to protect electronic circuits from voltage spikes caused by overvoltage transients.

Applications

The CD214B-T150ALF is a low capacitance diode that can be used in many types of electronic applications. It is suitable for use in any application that requires protection from overvoltage transients, such as power supplies, automobile and aviation electronics, telecommunications equipment, and circuit boards. The diode is also ideal for use in portable devices, such as laptops, cell phones, and digital cameras.

Working Principle

The CD214B-T150ALF diode is a unidirectional device that is designed to protect sensitive electronic components from high-voltage transients. The diode is organized like a traditional diode, with a single P-N junction. The key difference is that the P-N junction is designed to lose its reverse blocking properties above a certain voltage. This is known as the breakdown voltage.

When the applied voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage, the circuit begins to conduct current and a resistance appears across the diode. The resistance will reduce the voltage on the protected circuit, allowing the current to travel through the diode and not the sensitive components. This process will protect the sensitive circuits from damage caused by overvoltage.

Once the voltage has gone beyond the breakdown voltage, the current will flow through the diode until the voltage reaches its allowable limit. When the voltage returns to a safe level, the diode will go back to its reverse blocking state and the protected circuit will be protected. This process can repeat itself many times, allowing the CD214B-T150ALF to provide long-term protection.

Conclusion

The CD214B-T150ALF is a low capacitance bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode that is designed to protect sensitive electronic circuits from voltage spikes caused by overvoltage transients. It has a unidirectional breakdown voltage of 150 Volts and can be used in a variety of applications, including power supplies, automobile and aviation electronics, telecommunications equipment, circuit boards, and portable devices. The diode is organized like a traditional diode, with a single P-N junction that loses its reverse blocking properties above a certain voltage, allowing the current to travel through the diode and not the sensitive components.
