PESD5V0L1UL,315

TVS (transient voltage suppressor) diodes, typically known as surge suppressors, are the devices used for preventing damage to any electronic circuitry due to overvoltage transients caused by lightning, line disturbances, and power issues. Typical applications of the PESD5V0L1UL,315 include automobiles, military vehicles, portable electronics, communication equipment, home electronics, solar array control system, computers, industrial control system and consumer products.

The PESD5V0L1UL,315 is integrated with one Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) and two back-to-back zener diodes in one bidirectional circuit for both over voltage and over current protection. The Metal Oxide Varistors (MOV) use a unique non-linear resistance design algorithm to act as a primary voltage clamp for ESD protection from EFT transients, lightning surge suppression, and ESD transient protection. The two back-to-back zener diodes connected to the MOV are used as secondary voltage clamps which prevent the voltage spike from the MOV to propagate further into the circuit that needs to be protected. The MOV and zener diodes are all housed in a single package for optimal space and weight savings.

The PESD5V0L1UL,315 device offers reliable protection from ultra high voltage spikes coming from lightning, EFT transients, and ESD discharges. It is designed to protect devices from over voltage transients of 2.75V to 5.5V over a surge current from 9A and up to 25A over a time duration of 8/20 µs. The device is designed to clamp the voltage at 3.5V when the associated load is subject to voltage surges up to 3.7V and 5.5V respectively. The PESD5V0L1UL,315T can withstand high temperature environments up to 150°C. Furthermore, the device has an operating life time of at least one million times.

The PESD5V0L1UL,315 utilizes a non-volatile process for its movd and zener diode elements. This process prevents catastrophic high voltage breakdown of the electrodes and thus incidents of runaway current. The non-volatility of this device also brings about benefits such as increased reliability, lower resistance values, lower capacitance values, and a higher voltage breakdown. This ensures superior protection for integrated circuits against high voltage surges.

The PESD5V0L1UL,315 is an ideal choice for protecting sensitive equipment from damage from overvoltage transients. It provides reliable protection from lightning, EFT transients, and ESD discharges over a wide temperature range. It is ideal for use in vehicles, portable electronics, communication equipment, home electronics, solar array control systems, computers, industrial control systems, and consumer products.
