TVS - Diodes: PTVS7V5U1UPAZ application field and working principle

TVS - Diodes are specialized devices that offer protection against voltage disturbances and electrostatic discharges (ESD). The surge protective diode PTVS7V5U1UPAZ is one such device. It is suitable for applications such as consumer electronics, mobile phone chargers, industrial equipment, and automotive systems. This type of diode is based on the avalanche breakdown principle and has excellent surge capability, superior clamping performance, and transient energy absorption.

What is the Avalanche Breakdown Principle?

Avalanche breakdown is a phenomenon in which electrons are accelerated inside a medium by electrostatic field, leading to a breakdown of the medium’s resistance. The breakdown voltage depends on the versatility, unity gain temperature, and medium field strength. An avalanche breakdown occurs when the electric field in a semiconductor exceeds a critical value, at which point current gain accelerates electrons to high energies and creates electron-ion collisions. This in turn leads to increased electron-hole pairs, a growing current, and eventually breakdown of the material resistance.

The avalanche breakdown principle has been employed in the development of surge protective diodes. By using such a mechanism, these components can respond to high voltages and electrical transients in a way that provides effective protection and a low clamping voltage.

Advantages of the PTVS7V5U1UPAZ

The PTVS7V5U1UPAZ surge protective diode offers many benefits for a range of applications.
