TVS - Diodes are used in a variety of applications, from automotive to industrial applications, and from telecoms to consumer electronics. The SM8LC03/TR13 is an advanced TVS (transient voltage suppression) diode that is designed to protect sensitive electronic components from overvoltage caused by transient events or ESD (electrostatic discharge) strikes. This article will explore the application fields and working principle of the SM8LC03/TR13.

Applications

The SM8LC03/TR13 is suitable for a variety of applications, such as automotive, industrial, telecoms, and consumer electronics. It is commonly used in automotive applications to protect various components, such as motors, starters, alternators, and lighting systems from voltage overshoots. In industrial applications, it can be used to protect AC motors, controllers, and circuit breakers from voltage overshoots. In telecom applications, it can be used to protect modems and RF amplifiers from over-voltages. Lastly, in consumer electronics, it is used to protect audio and video equipment from ESD.

Working Principle

The SM8LC03/TR13 is an advanced TVS protection diode, which is designed to protect sensitive electronic components from ESD and transient overvoltage. It is made up of two main sections, a breakdown diode and a current limiting resistor. When an overvoltage or ESD strike occurs, the diode conducts current and clamps the voltage to a level that will not harm the protected device. The resistor limits the current so that the diode is not destroyed by the overvoltage. The diode and resistor are both designed to be highly temperature and voltage resistant so that they will operate reliably in harsh conditions.

The SM8LC03/TR13 is a single-line, 1500W peak power TVS diode, designed for reliable ESD and transient protection. It is available in SMA, SMB, SMC, SMF and SMV packages, with a voltage range from 5 to 91V. It is reverse-breakdown capable and also has a low forward voltage drop. It has a typical response time of 1.2ns, making it suitable for high-speed applications. In addition, it has a high thermal stability, with a maximum operating temperature range of -55 to +150°C.

Conclusion

The SM8LC03/TR13 is an advanced TVS protection diode that is designed to provide reliable ESD and transient overvoltage protection. It is suitable for a variety of applications, such as automotive, industrial, telecoms, and consumer electronics. It has a wide voltage range, fast response time, and high thermal stability which makes it suitable for high-speed applications. The diode is made up of two main sections, a breakdown diode and a current limiting resistor, which helps to protect the protected component from overvoltage or ESD strikes.
