TVS - Diodes: SA36-E3/73 Application Field and Working Principle

Introduction

Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diodes are a special type of semiconductor device designed to protect against electrical overvoltage and transients. TVS diodes are becoming increasingly popular as a line of defense against electrical overvoltage and transients. They can be used in a variety of electronic devices, including automotive, industrial, and home appliances. Today, various types of diodes are available on the market, such as SA36-E3/73. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of SA36-E3/73 TVS diodes.

Application Field

SA36-E3/73 is a common TVS diode for protecting a variety of electronic devices from electrical overvoltage and transients. It is especially suitable for applications requiring the protection of semiconductor devices, such as microprocessors, memory chips, and LED displays. It is also used in automotive, industrial, and other consumer applications. For example, in automotive and home appliances applications, SA36-E3/73 provides overcurrent, overvoltage, and electrical noise protection. In industrial environment, it protects against static discharges, high-voltage transients, and other electrical noise.

Working Principle

The working principle of SA36-E3/73 is based on the Avalanche Breakdown Effect. It is a voltage-dependent diode that contains a material with a wide bandgap energy. When the voltage on the diode exceeds the breakdown voltage, the electrons in the material gain enough energy to jump over the bandgap and create an avalanche of electrons. This electron avalanche creates a large current, which dissipates the excess voltage.When the applied voltage is below the breakdown voltage, the diode remains in the off state with a high impedance. This ensures that there is no conduction of current in the diode until the breakdown voltage is exceeded.When the voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage, the diode is said to be in the on state. In this state, the diode behaves like a low-impedance resistor and is able to conduct current and dissipate the excess voltage. When the voltage drops below the breakdown voltage, the diode returns to the off state.

Conclusion

SA36-E3/73 is a type of TVS diode used to protect electronic devices from electrical overvoltage and transients. It is based on the Avalanche Breakdown Effect, allowing the diode to switch between the on and off states depending on the voltage on the diode. It is widely used in automotive, industrial, and home appliances applications. With its various advantages, SA36-E3/73 is a great choice for providing overvoltage protection for a variety of devices.
