TVS - Diodes

A Transient Voltage Suppressor diode (TVS diode) is a type of electronic component which is used to protect other components from over-voltages or transient voltage surges. TVS diodes are also known as surge protection diodes, or TVS diode arrays. The SA100CHE3/54 TVS diode is a two-terminal thyristor-type diode which is suitable for the protection of sensitive electronic components from transients.

Application Field

The SA100CHE3/54 TVS diode is suitable for applications such as automotive, industrial, telecommunications, I/O, and consumer electronics. This diode is designed to protect sensitive components from transients due to electro-static discharge (ESD) and lightning, and is suitable for use in high-speed communications such as USB, Ethernet, and HDMI. This diode\'s fast response and low capacitance also make it suitable for data line protection in mil/aero applications.

Working Principle

The working principle of a TVS diode is to protect sensitive electrical and electronic components from transient voltage surges. A TVS diode is essentially a reverse-biased diode which is connected in parallel with the component to be protected. When the voltage across the diode reaches the breakdown voltage of the diode, the current flow is increased, resulting in a lower voltage across the protected component. This helps to protect sensitive electronic components from over-voltages.

The SA100CHE3/54 TVS diode has a very fast response time, which makes it suitable for use in high-speed communications. The diode is also rated at 100V, making it suitable for use in equipment with low-voltage requirements. The diode\'s low capacitance also makes it suitable for data line protection in mil/aero applications. In addition, the diode is rated for a peak pulse current of 300A, which ensures that it can handle high-current transients.

The SA100CHE3/54 TVS diode is a simple, cost-effective, and reliable way to protect sensitive electrical components from transients. Its fast response time, low capacitance, and high current rating make it suitable for a wide range of applications.
