A Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode is an electronic component designed to protect electronic circuits from voltage transients caused by lightning strike, electrostatic discharge (ESD), or electrical disturbances from power supply switches. One of the most commonly used device of this type is SLD20U-017. It is a uni-directional TVS diode, designed to protect system level circuits from transients due to lightning strike, as well as ESD and other power surges. The device features an integrated clamp that launches an avalanche breakdown when a certain voltage threshold is exceeded. It may be used in a variety of applications, including automotive, peripherals, and consumer electronics.

The SLD20U-017 operates on a breakdown voltage of 15 to 20 V, with a peak surge current of 4 A (Id) max. This provides greater protection against transients due to lightning strike, as well as ESD and other power surge events. The device is designed with a dual anode/cathode pin arrangement, providing an easy-to-use product for designers and end users. Additionally, it is designed with a wide operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, enabling its use in a variety of environments.

The mechanism by which the SLD20U-017 protects against voltage transients is based on the principle of avalanche breakdown. When the TVS diode is connected to a circuit, the integrated clamp detects any overvoltage. When the voltage exceeds the predefined voltage threshold, the device launches an avalanche breakdown. This breakdown clamps the voltage at a safe level, which prevents damage to the circuit by suppressing the transient surge.

The SLD20U-017 can be used in a variety of applications, including automotive, peripherals, and consumer electronics. The device offers improved protection against lightning strikes, ESD, and other power surges due to its higher breakdown voltage. Additionally, its dual pin arrangement allows for easy integration into existing or new circuits, while its wide operating temperature range ensures reliable protection against transient events. Finally, the avalanche breakdown mechanism ensures a safe clamping of a voltage transient, thereby protecting the circuit from damage.
