TVS - Diodes

Transient voltage suppressors (TVS) are widely used electronic components designed to protect sensitive electronics, systems, and people. TVS-diodes are an important type of TVS that remove high spike voltages or surges from a circuit, and they work by diverting the surge away from the vulnerable components. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the M15KP200AE3 TVS-diode.

Application Field of the M15KP200AE3 TVS-Diode

The M15KP200AE3 TVS-diode is used in applications such as the input/output lines of communication systems, servers, personal computers, and digital television. It is also suitable for various industrial control systems, network equipment, and in various lighting and display systems. This diode helps protect systems and components from being damaged by high or low voltage spikes and surges.

Working Principle of the M15KP200AE3 TVS-Diode

The M15KP200AE3 TVS-diode works on the principle of avalanche breakdown. When an occasional voltage spike occurs in a circuit, the diode will become forward biased and a large current will flow through the diode causing it to enter avalanche breakdown. In this breakdown, the diode rapidly reduces its resistance, thus clamping the large spike voltage and preventing it from damaging sensitive electronics.

The M15KP200AE3 TVS-diode also has reverse breakover protection. This occurs when the reverse breakdown voltage is achieved and a relatively low voltage will be generated in the opposite direction. This voltage is very low and so it will not cause much damage to the sensitive electronics.

When the surge passes, the M15KP200AE3 diode will return to its normal state. It can handle multiple surge events with high reliability and low thermal runaway. This means that it is a durable and reliable device for the protection of sensitive electronics.

Conclusion

The M15KP200AE3 TVS-diode is a reliable and durable device that is designed for the protection of sensitive electronics from voltage spikes, surges, and other hazards. It works on the principle of avalanche breakdown to quickly clamp surge voltages and prevent them from damaging the circuit. Additionally, it also has reverse breakover protection that will generate a relatively low voltage in the opposite direction. With its high reliability, robustness, and long life, this diode is a dependable protector for sensitive electronics in a variety of applications.
