TVS diodes, or transient-voltage-suppression diodes, are designed to limit the magnitude of induced transients on an electrical circuit. They are often used to protect high-value circuits (e.g. microcontrollers and other expensive components) from sudden spikes in voltage that can potentially damage them. In this article, we’ll look at the application field and working principle of the GSOT36-HG3-08 TVS diode.

Application Field

The GSOT36-HG3-08 is a popular choice for protecting circuits from voltage transients. It is designed for use in consumer electronics, computers, telecommunications, industrial and other similar applications. For example, it is often used in automotive electronics to protect ECUs from voltage surge damage. Additionally, the device offers excellent performance in ESD protection, clamping, and surge protection.

Thanks to its versatility and reliability, the GSOT36-HG3-08 is suitable for a wide range of applications. It is rated for a maximum peak power dissipation threshold of 2.6 kW (8/20 µs waveform). With its smaller footprint, the device is ideal for systems with space constraints.

Working Principle

When exposed to a high voltage, the GSOT36-HG3-08 is engineered to quickly dissipate the transient energy, thus protecting the circuit from damage. It is a unidirectional device, meaning that it only operates in one direction. Voltage above the breakdown voltage will cause the device to “break down,” allowing the current to flow to ground. This process effectively clamps the voltage, limiting the maximum voltage of the circuit to a safe level.

In addition, the GSOT36-HG3-08 is designed with an internal PN junction, which helps to limit the peak current and reduce the frequency of the transient pulse. This is an important feature, as it helps to keep the current within safe operating limits. The internal components of the device are encapsulated in a UL-94V-0 package for improved durability and reliability.

Conclusion

The GSOT36-HG3-08 TVS diode is a versatile device designed for a variety of applications, including consumer electronics, telecommunications, and automotive electronics. It is engineered to dissipate transient energy quickly, thus protecting the circuit from damage. Thanks to its excellent performance in surge protection, ESD protection, and clamping, this device is a popular choice for many systems. It is rated for a maximum peak power dissipation threshold of 2.6 kW (8/20 µs waveform), making it ideal for systems with space constraints.
