Introduction to TVS - Diodes

A TVS diode is a unidirectional bidirectional or multidirectional semiconductor device, designed to safely terminate voltage transients. It is often referred to as a spike absorber, transient voltage suppressor, or transient voltage surge suppressor. At its most basic level the TVS diode is a reverse breakdown diode that is designed to be triggered by a large voltage spike or pulse. When the voltage exceeds a certain threshold, the diode turns on, and a current flows through it.

Working Principle of the TVS - Diode

A TVS diode functions when a voltage spike is present, normally triggered by an electrical surge. When this occurs, the voltage across the anode and cathode of the diode rises above the threshold voltage. This causes the diode to turn on and the voltage spike is absorbed by the diode, ensuring that it cannot reach the equipment and cause damage. Once the spike has passed, the diode will then return to its off state.

Examples of TVS- Diode Applications

TVS diodes can be used in a variety of situations where protection from voltage spikes or other power surges is necessary. Some common applications include circuit protection in automotive electrical systems, personal computers and other electronics, input protection for sensitive high speed digital circuits or telecom/datacom equipment, power input and output protection for audio/video equipment, and surge protection for external power supplies. TVS diodes are also used in the protection of AC power lines in commercial and residential applications.

MXLRT100KP75A Application field and Working Principle

The MXLRT100KP75A is a rail clamp TVS diode, which means it is designed to be triggered by an electrical surge between two power rails. It is used for protection against surges in high-speed digital data lines, as well as a range of other applications. This diode is packaged in an SOT23 form-factor, which makes it a convenient option for many different applications.

The working principle of the MXLRT100KP75A is the same as the TVS diode in general. When the voltage spike exceeds the threshold value, the diode turns on and absorbs the spike, ensuring that the equipment is not damaged. Once the spike has passed, the diode will return to its off state.
