Transient voltage suppressors (TVSs) are solid-state protection devices designed to protect electronics and semiconductor devices from voltage transients, commonly known as surges or electrostatic discharge (ESD). The SEP0720Q38CB is an unidirectional positive transient voltage suppressor (PTVS) diode designed for high-speed data line protection. It is a monolithic device and consists of a schottky diode and a thyristor in a common package.

The SEP0720Q38CB belongs to the mixed technology family of TVSs. This type of TVS is a combination of a zener diode and a thyristor, where the zener diode will clamp to a designated zener voltage and conducts the bulk of the current, and the thyristor will be triggered into conduction if the current exceeds a specified level. The parallel connection between the zener diode and the thyristor allows for both over-voltage protection and fast response time.

The SEP0720Q38CB is a high-speed data line device, specifically designed to protect against induced voltage transients on very high speed differential pairs (up to 3Gbps) on high-speed, high-frequency data buses such as USB 3.0, SATA Gen 3, DisplayPort, HDMI, MHL, eSATA, and FireWire. The device has a fast response time of 8ns, low resistance of 0.6Ω at 5V and 1A, low capacitance of 99pF @ 10V, and can handle up to ±53.3V reverse current.

The mechanisms behind the working principle of the SEP0720Q38CB are based on the two components within the device – the zener diode and the thyristor. When the device is subjected to an ESD event or other induced voltage transients, the zener diode acts as the primary protection, clamping the induced voltage transients to a designated zener voltage or breakdown voltage. The thyristor acts as a second layer of protection, and is triggered into conduction when the peak transient current exceeds a specified level.

The SEP0720Q38CB devices are widely used in applications such as military, aviation, medical, and automotive. These environments often require a robust level of protection from voltage transients due to the critical nature of the equipment or data (i.e. in military aircrafts, loss of data or corruption may result in the loss of life). The device’s fast response time and high surge capability provides excellent protection in these environments.

The SEP0720Q38CB provides a reliable and robust protection to high speed differential pairs from voltage transients. Its dual protection mechanisms of a zener diode and thyristor, fast response time, and low resistance make it ideal for applications requiring a high-level of protection and reliability. The device is widely used in military, aviation, medical, and automotive applications where the highest-level of protection must be ensured.
