TVS - Diode is a type of diode designed to protect electronic components from overvoltage or voltage transient. One of the commonly used models is P4SMA22A-E3/61. This article will explain its application field and working principle.

P4SMA22A-E3/61 can be used to protect electronic components from transients caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD) and other over voltage pulses such as induced by lightning strikes. It is designed to clamp transient voltages and the corresponding current to a predetermined safe level. It can be used in a wide range of applications, including automotive, industrial control equipment, telecoms, computer, or in any circuit which may be subjected to voltage surges.

The P4SMA22A-E3/61 is composed of an N-type silicon body with a Zener diode connected in parallel. The Zener diode will be triggered at a particular voltage level, typically from 15 to 24 volts and will "clamp" the voltage to a safe level of approximately 10-15 volts. When the external voltage goes above this level, the Zener diode will clamp it to the safe voltage level, thus protecting the components from the overvoltage or transient voltage. The device also has internal thermistors to provide additional protection in the event of high energy surges or very long overvoltages.

The P4SMA22A-E3/61 also has a "leakage current" feature. This feature allows the device to recover from overvoltage quickly and prevents any further damage due to overvoltage. The leakage current will be higher during high overvoltage conditions, thus reducing potential damage and allowing the device to recover faster.

Overall, the P4SMA22A-E3/61 is an effective protection device for a variety of circuits and components from overvoltage or transient voltages. It is a reliable and cost-effective solution for protecting sensitive components that may otherwise be damaged due to voltage surges. The Zener diode and internal thermistors provide an additional layer of protection against high energy surges and reduce the risk of component failure.

In conclusion, the P4SMA22A-E3/61 is an effective and reliable protection device for circuits and components against overvoltage or voltage transient. It can be used in a wide range of applications and is a cost effective solution for protecting sensitive components. The Zener diode and internal thermistors provide an additional layer of protection and reduce the risk of component failure.
