TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diodes are an important device in the field of circuit protection. The SA26 is a specific type of TVS diode that offers superior protection from transient surges. This article discusses the field of application and the working principle of the SA26 diode.The SA26 diode is designed specifically to protect high-speed data-carrying cables such as USB from transient overvoltages. It is particularly well-suited for use in USB 2.0 applications, as it has a low capacitance of <0.7pF, which allows for minimal performance degradation. The SA26 can also protect against ESD (electrostatic discharge) up to ±18KV, making it an ideal protection device for radios, modems, and other sensitive equipment.When it comes to the SA26 diode’s working principle, it is relatively simple. The diode has two terminals, an anode and a cathode. When a transient surge causes an increase in voltage, the diode becomes forward-biased and begins to conduct electricity. The diode then reduces the voltage by acting as a voltage-limiting device. The SA26 is temperature-independent, meaning that its conductivity is not affected by changes in temperature. This makes it an ideal choice for a variety of applications.In order to ensure optimal protection from transient surges, the SA26 should be connected in series with the device or line it is protecting. This will help to ensure that all the current generated by the surge is diverted through the diode, allowing it to protect the device or line from the damaging effects of the surge. It is also important to make sure that the diode is correctly rated for the current and voltage expected in the application.The SA26 diode is an ideal choice for protecting sensitive electronic equipment from transient surges. Its low capacitance and temperature-independence make it an excellent option for USB 2.0 and other high-speed data-carrying cables. Additionally, its ability to divert current and reduce voltage makes it an effective protection device against all sorts of damaging surges. When correctly installed and rated, the SA26 can provide superior protection from transient surge damage.
