TVS Diodes are a type of transient voltage suppressor that are used in various high power applications such as LED lighting, telecom, automotive, and consumer electronics. The SM6T36A-M3/52 is a silicon-based overvoltage protection device that provides high-speed response and prevents components from damage that comes from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).

Applications

SM6T36A-M3/52 can be used in a wide variety of power applications where protection from overvoltage is required. These include automotive systems, consumer electronics, lighting, and industrial control systems. It is also suitable for protecting devices against damage from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Its low capacitance makes it an ideal device for high-speed ESD protection, such as on data lines. It is also highly reliable, with an integrated overvoltage protection circuit which prevents device damage due to reverse EMF.

Working Principle

SM6T36A-M3/52 is a reverse biased diode protection device designed to clamp overvoltage and excessive current. When the voltage rises beyond a certain level, the TVS diode starts conducting current and provides electromagnetic interference (EMI) and ESD protection. The device is designed to limit the voltage spike to a safe level.

It is made up of two series circuits. The first one is composed of two Zener diodes, with each one having a breakdown voltage of 6V. The second one is composed of two avalanche diodes, which are connected in opposite polarity. The two diodes in the first series circuit are then connected in parallel with each other, while the two diodes in the second series circuit are connected in series, forming a protection bridge.

The protection bridge works in the following way. When a high voltage spike occurs, the Zener diodes start to conduct current, which causes a voltage drop across the two diodes. This voltage drop is what limits the voltage spike to a safe level. The avalanche diodes also will conduct current when the voltage spike exceeds the breakdown voltage of the Zener diodes, preventing further damage due to overvoltage.

The SM6T36A-M3/52 also has an integrated overvoltage protection circuit. This circuit ensures that the device is not damaged due to an excessive current flowing through it, as the circuit will disconnect the device from the current before it reaches a level that could damage the device.

Conclusion

The SM6T36A-M3/52 is an ideal protection device for high power applications, providing efficient ESD and EMI protection. Its low capacitance makes it suitable for protecting high-speed data lines, and its integrated overvoltage protection circuit ensures that the device is not damaged due to excessive current. It is an ideal choice for automotive systems, consumer electronics, lighting, and industrial control systems.
