DZ5X068D0R Circuit Protection

TVS (Transient voltage suppressors) - Diodes are discrete components typically used in electronic circuits to protect against overvoltage transients, also known as ESD (ElectroStatic Discharge). The DZ5X068D0R is a particular TVS diode designed and manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. This device is a high-performance diode, designed for protection against ESD, lightning strikes and induced surges in commercial and industrial applications.

Application Field

The DZ5X068D0R is suitable for protection against transients in all electronic circuits. It is particularly suitable for applications in the automotive, industrial and consumer markets, where it can be used as a transient voltage suppressor in power converters, power supplies, automotive access control systems, consumer and medical products. It can also be used in telecom/datacom, networking and electronic component components.

Working Principle

The DZ5X068D0R works on the principle of ‘avalanche breakdown’, which is when a voltage applied across the junction of a N-type semiconductor and a P-type semiconductor exceeds the breakdown voltage of the material, which in turn leads to current flow between the junctions. This is also known as ‘avalanche effect’. The DZ5X068D0R is designed such that it will immediately start conducting when a transient voltage is applied, thus absorbing and clamping the voltage to a safe level. This prevents damage to other components in the circuit.

The DZ5X068D0R also has a unique design, which will lead to an ultra-low leakage current. This will increase the circuit’s operational lifetime and eliminate unnecessary downtime. Additionally, the device is also designed to reduce its capacitive effet, allows for higher operating frequencies and faster signal propagation.

In short, the DZ5X068D0R is a high-performance transient voltage suppressor which provides excellent surge protection and ESD protection. It is suitable for a range of applications, including automotive, consumer and medical products, and provides ultra-low leakage current, capacitive effects and faster signaling for protection and longer operational life.
