LCDA24C-1.TCT Circuit Protection

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressors) diodes are components designed to help protect electronic systems from high voltage transients induced by lightning, electrostatic discharge (ESD) and other sources. The LCDA24C-1.TCT is a bidirectional, high-performance, unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed to protect a circuit from voltage transients generated by lightning and by other electrical connection sources.

The LCDA24C-1.TCT is designed to protect against both positive and negative transient voltages across its bidirectional anode-cathode terminals. Its robust design allows it to handle high transient energy and is capable of safely dissipating up to 28A of peak pulsed current. The unique design of the LCDA24C-1.TCT also allows it to reduce EMI/RFI noise to ensure robust operation in even the most harsh environments.

The primary application of the LCDA24C-1.TCT is providing transient voltage protection for high speed power and data lines in automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics applications. Typical applications include protection for I/O ports, power lines, cables, and connectors from electrostatic discharge (ESD), electrical overstress (EOS) and other sources. The LCDA24C-1.TCT is qualified to AEC-Q100, which ensures it can meet the demanding requirements of the automotive industry.

The working principle of the LCDA24C-1.TCT is fairly straightforward. As an unidirectional TVS diode, it works by clamping positive and negative voltage transients across its anode-cathode terminals. When a positive voltage transient is detected on the anode terminal, the LCDA24C-1.TCT will immediately conduct the current, limiting the overvoltage. When a negative voltage transient is detected on the cathode terminal, the LCDA24C-1.TCT will similarly conduct the current, again limiting the overvoltage. The LCDA24C-1.TCT\'s unique design allows it to safely dissipate extremely high energies with minimal heat generation.

The LCDA24C-1.TCT is also designed with a low capacitance of 1.25pF between its anode and cathode terminals, which helps it maintain a fast response time and prevents signal distortion. It is also designed with a low clamping voltage of 21V, which helps it to protect sensitive devices against high voltage transients. The LCDA24C-1.TCT is also RoHS compliant and has a nominal working voltage of 24V.

The LCDA24C-1.TCT is an extremely versatile component with many applications in a wide variety of industries. Its robust design and low capacitance make it an ideal choice for protection against high voltage transients in high speed power and data applications.
