TVS - Diodes: P6KE120CATA Application Field and Working PrincipleA TVS (transient voltage suppressor) diode is a protective semiconductor device used to protect electronic components, such as microprocessors, from high voltages. They are often referred to as transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diodes, or avalanche diodes, and are often used to protect against voltage transients caused by electrostatic discharge, electrical fast transients (EFT) and lightning. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the P6KE120CATA TVS diode.The P6KE120CATA is a silicone epitaxial planar PN junction TVS diode designed for use in high-performance applications. It has a high peak pulse power of 8.5kW (8/20uS) and is capable of handling up to 1500V surge currents. The fast response time ensures that the device can respond quickly in the event of a voltage transient. The device is RoHS compliant and is rated for operation at temperatures between -55°C and +125°C.The P6KE120CATA is suitable for use in a wide range of application fields, including power supplies, telecommunications, automotive, and industrial electronics. For instance, the device can be used to protect sensitive equipment used in telecommunications systems from lightning surges, as well as to protect automotive systems such as ABS, airbags and air conditioning, from EFTs and voltage transients.The working principle of the P6KE120CATA is fairly simple and is based on the principle of a zener diode. During normal operating conditions, the diode behaves like an ordinary diode, allowing current to flow in one direction only. However, when the voltage exceeds the diode’s breakdown voltage, the device starts to conduct in both directions, and the current is drawn away from the protected component. This process is known as voltage clamping.In the case of the P6KE120CATA, the device is designed to conduct at 1500V, which is the specified maximum operating voltage. When the voltage across the diode exceeds this level, the diode starts to conduct in both directions and the current is immediately drawn away from the protected component. The amount of energy that the diode can dissipate is limited by its specified peak power rating of 8.5kW (8/20uS).In summary, the P6KE120CATA is a high-performance transient voltage suppressor diode designed to protect electronic components from voltage transients caused by electrostatic discharge, electrical fast transients (EFT) and lightning. The device has a high peak pulse power rating of 8.5kW (8/20uS) and is suitable for use in a wide range of application fields, including power supplies, telecommunications, automotive, and industrial electronics. The working principle of the device is based on the principle of a zener diode, and during normal operating conditions, the diode acts as an ordinary diode, allowing current to flow in one direction only. However, when the voltage across it exceeds the specified maximum operating voltage, it starts to conduct in both directions, and the current is drawn away from the protected component.
