TVS (transient voltage suppressor) diodes provide protection for electronic systems from high-voltage spikes or other non-desired voltage transients that can occur in the circuit. High-voltage transients, also called ESD (electrostatic discharge) events, are usually created through static electricity build-up on active circuit components, as well as functions arising from power line inductors. GSOT05C-E3-18 is a TVS diode that can safely dissipate transients that reach 18V.

Principle of Operation

When a high-voltage transient hits the GSOT05C-E3-18, the current in it increases very rapidly. This high current flows through the diode and is immediately dissipated, thereby protecting any further components downstream in the circuit. The diode itself is designed to withstand the high current levels and limit the potential damage the transient may cause.

The GSOT05C-E3-18 is made up of two p-n junctions that have been connected in a reverse polarity. This enables the diode to block any static voltages that may be present in the circuit or for it to act as a short circuit during a transient. During a high-voltage transient, the diode switches to a low-impedance state which allows it to dissipate the energy.

Application Field

Due to the GSOT05C-E3-18’s relatively low capacitance, it can be used in a range of applications such as communication systems, industrial control systems, consumer electronics, automotive electronics, networking systems, and medical equipment. It is also able to be used in circuits that have high levels of ESD and transient voltage due to its ability to withstand high current levels.

The GSOT05C-E3-18 is also designed to be extremely low profile, allowing it to be used in circuit designs where space is a limitation. This makes it ideal for use in circuits that may need to be placed in tight spaces, such as laptop computers and other portable devices.

Conclusion

The GSOT05C-E3-18 is a TVS diode that provides protection to circuits from transient voltages and electrostatic discharges. This is achieved through its protective device which allows it to dissipate energy in a high current state. The diode is also designed to be low profile, making it suitable for use in various space-constricted applications.
