ICTE5HE3_A/D Circuit Protection

The ICTE5HE3_A/D is a high-end TVS-Diode, belonging to the family of Transient Voltage Suppression diodes. It is specifically designed and used for high-end computer systems, as it is able to protect them from surge transients generated by keyboards, peripheral ports, and other sources of electromagnetic interference. In addition, it has a low junction capacitance to provide a faster response time as well as selectable diode configurations for additional protection.

As a primary component in the protection line for high-end computer systems, the ICTE5HE3_A/D is primarily designed to protect from voltage transients caused by ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) events. This specialized device is capable of suppressing voltages above a certain threshold, while allowing current to pass at lower voltages. In addition, it has a low junction capacitance to provide a faster response time as well as selectable diode configurations for additional protection.

The TVS-Diode safely clamps the voltage transient to a predetermined peak voltage level, dissipating the excess energy as a current pulse in the diode. This dissipated energy is then slowly re-velleivered back to the power source. The levels of dissipation and re-velleiverance are chosen to ensure that no damaging or dangerous voltages are experienced by the delicate electronics of the computer.

The ICTE5HE3_A/D has selectable diode configurations, which provide the capability of selecting either a dual-diode, or three-diode diode configuration, allowing for greater levels of protection and flexibility in product application. Additionally, the voltage ratings available provide greater range and choice in the protection levels achievable.

The ICTE5HE3_A/D features a variety of packaging and connection options, allowing for simplified installation as well as reduced board space requirements. It is available in a 12-lead TO-220 package and has a corresponding connection and pin-out that allows for intense post-assembly testing that is common in high-end electronics. It is also offered in an 8 Pin SOIC package, giving more flexibility and allowing for smaller board size.

In summary, the ICTE5HE3_A/D is a high-end TVS-Diode designed to provide voltage protection for high-end computer systems from ESD, peripheral ports, and other sources of electromagnetic interference. It features a low junction capacitance to provide a faster response time, selectable diode configurations for additional protection, and packaging options to allow for simplified installation and smaller board space. It is a vital component in the protection line of high-end computer systems, ensuring that delicate electronics are not damaged by voltage transients.
