TVS - Diodes

S2ZMMBZ15VDLT1G devices are TVS - Diodes, developed by STMicroelectronics. These devices are designed to protect electronic systems from destructive transient voltages arising as a result of lightning, switching of loads, power disturbances and the like.

Leveraging its many years of experience in the circuit protection market, STMicroelectronics has created a series of sophisticated unidirectional protection diodes, referred to as S2ZMMBZ15VDLT1G devices. These devices are available in a variety of packages, ranging from surface mounted devices to through-hole devices, making them suitable for use in a wide variety of applications.

Application Field

S2ZMMBZ15VDLT1G TVS-Diodes are primarily used in protection systems for circuits, such as level-3 and level-4 load switching systems, control boards and junction boxes, as well as in automotive, military, and consumer electronics applications.

Additionally, they can be used for protection against overdoses in switching converters, such as switch-mode power supplies, and in LVDS and ESD applications.

Working Principle

The S2ZMMBZ15VDLT1G TVS-Diode is unidirectional, meaning it can only allow electrical current to flow in one direction, i.e. from the anode to the cathode. When a voltage greater than the TVS-Diode’s breakdown voltage is applied, it will activate and allow current to flow through it, thus providing protection for the circuit.

S2ZMMBZ15VDLT1G devices feature an in-built voltage clamp, which is designed to limit the voltage from rising above a predetermined level and cause a short circuit to the ground or power source. This ensures that the circuit is not damaged by excessive voltages, thus minimizing system downtime and ensuring optimal performance.

The TVS-Diodes also feature a high surge-handling capability, meaning they can withstand a higher number of transient events than other transient voltage suppression devices.

Conclusion

In conclusion, S2ZMMBZ15VDLT1G TVS-Diode is an advanced circuit protection device from STMicroelectronics, designed to provide robust protection in a wide variety of applications, ranging from level-3 and level-4 load switching systems to LVDS and ESD protection. It features a voltage clamp and high surge-handling capability, ensuring the protected circuit is not damaged by sudden voltage fluctuations.
