TVS (Transient Voltage Suppression) diodes are a subcategory of voltage protection diodes, which are widely used to protect electronics from extreme voltage spikes. The SM8LC05E3/TR13 is a prime example of this technology, and is designed for applications requiring higher power ratings. In this article we\'ll take a closer look at the application field and working principle of this diode.

Application field of SM8LC05E3/TR13

The SM8LC05E3/TR13 is intended for use in SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supply) systems, and is ideal for protecting against voltage spikes up to 15 Amps and 13.5V. This makes it ideal for use in both consumer and industrial electronics that need reliable voltage protection. It can also be used in automotive systems, and is suitable for use in applications with working temperatures between -55°C and +125°C.

The SM8LC05E3/TR13 is also compatible with a wide range of components, allowing it to easily fit into most electronic circuit designs. Furthermore, it offers a very high surge capability and low clamping voltage, resulting in excellent overcurrent and overvoltage protection. This makes it suitable for protecting sensitive electronic components from harm in harsh and potentially dangerous environments.

Working Principle of SM8LC05E3/TR13

The SM8LC05E3/TR13 is a unidirectional internal failure protection diode that works by diverting dangerous high voltages away from protected components in the event of an overvoltage or overcurrent failure. In normal operation, the diode is off and does not affect the circuit in which it is used. When the circuit is exposed to a voltage spike, the device rapidly responds and diverts high voltage away from the protected components. This action limits the maximum voltage that can be seen by the protected components.

The device uses an avalanche breakdown mechanism to protect components from over-voltage. This process allows the diode to switch to a low impedance state, effectively forming a conductive “clamp” that diverts electricity away from the protected components. This ensures maximum protection against excessive voltages, while maintaining a high tolerance for spikes and surges.

In addition to providing efficient protection against overvoltage and overcurrent, the SM8LC05E3/TR13 offers an additional layer of protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) and lightening strikes. This further ensures the delicate circuitry of electronics are protected from any potential dangers.

Conclusion

The SM8LC05E3/TR13 is a high-powered unidirectional internal failure protection diode, designed for use in applications that require reliable and robust voltage protection. It provides excellent protection against overvoltage and overcurrent, as well as additional protection against ESD and lightening strikes. The diode is also suitable for use in temperatures between -55°C and +125°C, and is compatible with a wide range of components, allowing it to fit into most existing electronic circuit designs.
