MMQA20VT3G

TVS - Diodes are generally used in the protection of different applications from surge voltage, overcurrent, or ESD threats. The MMQA20VT3G is one such device - a bi directional TVS diode that is designed to protect various voltage sensitive components in device from transient voltages. It is a 20V ultra thin and ultra wide - body device, with low leakage current and good clamping capability.

Application Field

The MMQA20VT3G is a bi - directional TVS diode that is capable of protecting circuits from transients on any line, or even all lines at once. It is designed for use in situations where latency and surge protection is important, such as consumer electronics, LED lighting, automotive electronics, telecommunications, industrial and medical electronics, as well as military and aerospace applications.

It is designed with a low clamping voltage, ideal for systems operating at voltages below 16Volts where a higher maximum reverse stand-off voltage is needed. The maximum peak pulse power that the MMQA20VT3G can withstand is 2.75W, much higher than many other similar devices.

Working Principle

TVS - Diodes are bi-directional, providing protection to both sides of the circuit, with the MMQA20VT3G being no different. It is designed with a fast response time, and operates when the voltage on either side of the circuit exceeds the clamping voltage. The low clamping voltage prevents other components from being damaged by undesired voltages, and the fast response time prevents high peak currents that might otherwise result in damage.

The MMQA20VT3G is designed to be an ultra thin device, with low leakage current, making it ideal for applications that require a minimum of physical space. It is capable of providing up to 2.75 watts of peak pulse power, allowing the device to protect a wide range of applications from transient voltages.

Conclusion

The MMQA20VT3G is a bi-directional TVS diode that is designed to provide protection from transient threats in a wide variety of applications. It is designed with low clamping voltage and a fast response rate, allowing the device to protect voltage sensitive components from damage in the event of excessive voltage. Furthermore, the device is thin and lightweight, making it ideal for applications where size is a concern.
