TVS - Diodes

TVS diodes or Transient Voltage Suppressor diodes are widely used in circuit and system designs for protection against voltage spikes and transients, often the result of lightning strikes or electrostatic discharges. This protection is important as surges and transients can cause poor performance or even damaged systems. One such TVS diode is the CDSOT23-T08, which is a uni-directional, low capacitance TVS diode.

CDSOT23-T08 Application Field

The CDSOT23-T08 has a relatively low breakdown voltage of 5.5V and is intended for use in applications with voltages that do not exceed 5.5V. In addition, its surge capability of 8V makes it suitable for protecting sensitive components and systems from voltage transients. It is recommended for use in consumer electronics, communication and networking systems, medical and aerospace systems, automotive systems and portable electronics.

CDSOT23-T08 Working Principle

The CDSOT23-T08 works on the principle of reverse avalanche breakdown. When the reverse voltage application exceeds the breakdown voltage of 5.5V, the diode turns on and begins to conduct the current. In the case of a sharp transient spike or street light air gap circuit, this conducting current can be hundreds of amperes. The diode then clamps the transient voltage, inhibiting any further rise. It is also important to note that the diode is bidirectional, meaning it can provide protection against both positive and negative voltage spikes and transients.

CDSOT23-T08 Features

The CDSOT23-T08 offers several features which make it an attractive choice for transient voltage suppressor diode applications. Firstly, its small unidirectional form factor allows it to be used in space-constrained designs. Secondly, its low capacitance of 5pF makes it suitable for both high frequency and high speed applications. Thirdly, its low clamping voltage makes it capable of clamping and protecting very sensitive systems. Finally, its bidirectional protection capability provides additional resilience to unexpected transients.

Conclusion

The CDSOT23-T08 is an ideal diode for protecting sensitive components and systems from voltage transients. Its low breakdown voltage and small form factor make it suitable for numerous applications, from consumer electronics to aerospace systems. The diode’s low capacitance and bidirectional protection features make it capable of clamping and protecting very sensitive systems. All in all, the CDSOT23-T08 is an excellent choice when selecting a TVS diode to protect sensitive circuits and systems.
