The SM8LC03E3/TR13 is a low capacitance ESD protection diode used in TVS - Diodes applications.

The SM8LC03E3/TR13 belongs to a family of low capacitance ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protection diodes. These diodes are designed to provide protection against high voltage or high current transients and often used in electronic products for pulse protection and electrostatic discharge protection.

The main application fields of the SM8LC03E3/TR13 include automotive, audio & video, consumer electronics, power and telecom applications. It is also suitable for protecting high speed data lines like USB, HDMI, Ethernet, Video, and Audio signals.

The SM8LC03E3/TR13 has a voltage rating of 500V, a capacitance of 1.7pF (low capacitance), and a fast response time (only 10ns). It is capable of withstanding up to 8kV ESD pulses and up to 8A for low frequency applications. It has an operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and is RoHS compliant. It has a maximum package size of 2mm x 1.2mm x 0.7mm, making it very space-efficient.

The basic working principle of the SM8LC03E3/TR13 is that it diverts the surge current away from vulnerable electrical components by providing a conductive path to ground. The diode is reverse biased in normal operating conditions and only conducts current when it meets a voltage threshold or when a surge pulse is applied. In the event of a surge, the voltage and current levels are limited by the parasitic inductance of the device.

To further enhance the performance of the SM8LC03E3/TR13, it has been designed with an enhanced ESD clamp circuit. This helps to ensure that voltage spikes, generated by ESD pulses, are reliably reduced. The device also has a low leakage current, which helps to reduce the power dissipation and improve the overall efficiency.

The SM8LC03E3/TR13 is an ideal solution for applications where space is limited, such as mobile phones, tablets and laptops. It offers reliable protection against electrostatic discharge and other transient surges without compromising performance and efficiency.
