TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diodes offer a form of electrical protection against a variety of common power surges. Specifically, an LC26 TVS diode is a type of low capacitance device used to protect sensitive electronic components and systems from induced transients. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the LC26 TVS diode.

The LC26 is typically installed in order to protect circuits from high voltage overshoots that may be caused by load dumping, lightning and other transient events. It is a low voltage drop diode that is especially suitable for portable electronics, medical, industrial, and automotive applications. The LC26 is available in industry-standard SOD-323, SOD-123, and SOD-523 packages with peak pulse power ratings from 200 to 600 W.

The working principle of the LC26 TVS diode is relatively simple. Like all diodes, it allows the current to flow in one direction only, and not in the opposite direction. This means that any voltages above a certain threshold will be blocked, and thus prevented from damaging the connected components. When a voltage exceeds the diode’s threshold voltage level, it will enter into a breakdown state and have its current rapidly increased. This will cause the diode to act as a low resistance path, thus providing the necessary protection.

In order to ensure that the LC26 diode is properly sized and can provide enough protection for the connected components, it is important to consider the voltage and current it can handle. The maximum allowable voltage for the LC26 diode is 30 V. Additionally, the device has a wide operating temperature range and a built-in ESD protection feature, making it an ideal choice for applications where the environment could potentially present a challenge.

The LC26 TVS diode offers a reliable solution for providing electrical protection for sensitive circuits and components. Its low capacitance structure and high reliability make it an ideal choice for a wide variety of applications. Additionally, its small physical size and low voltage drop make it particularly suitable for applications such as automotive, medical, industrial, and portable electronics.
