TVS - Diodes

TVS – Diodes are an important class of diode used to protect against voltage transients and surges. The GSOT03C-E3-18 is one such diode, offering a maximum peak pulse power of 1800 W for 10/1000 μs waveforms. This type of diode is often used in automotive and industrial applications, where it helps in the protection of sensitive components and circuitry.

A TVS diode is structured like a PN junction diode, except it is designed with a higher peak reverse voltage than a standard diode. This enables it to conduct more current in the reverse direction. The higher voltage that a TVS diode can handle makes it more suitable for applications where higher transient voltages are expected. It also has a lower forward voltage drop than a normal diode. This makes it more suitable for applications where power dissipation is an issue.

The working principle of a TVS diode is the same as a conventional diode. When it is reverse biased, current flows from the anode to the cathode, and when it is forward biased, current flows from the cathode to the anode. However, when a high voltage transient is applied, the diode will conduct in the reverse direction, allowing the transient current to pass from the cathode to the anode. This results in the transient voltage being limited to a maximum diode breakdown voltage.

The GSOT03C-E3-18 offers superior protection characteristics for automotive and industrial applications. It has a low on-state voltage drop of 0.19 V, making it suitable for applications that require high power dissipation. It also has a high reverse current capacity, meaning it can handle higher transient voltages up to 1800 W. Additionally, the GSOT03C-E3-18 has a fast response time and a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

In summary, the GSOT03C-E3-18 TVS diode is ideal for protecting sensitive components and circuits from transient voltages in both automotive and industrial applications. With its low on-state voltage drop, high reverse current capacity, fast response time, and a wide operating temperature range, this diode is the perfect choice for any application where transient voltages are expected.
