Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) diodes are widely used in many electrical and electronic applications. The SM8S26A-TP is a unidirectional, two-pin TVS diode especially designed to help protect electrical components in systems using external power sources. This article will explain the typical applications of the SM8S26A-TP in line with its working principle.

Typical Applications of SM8S26A-TP

The SM8S26A-TP is suitable for protecting components such as gate drivers, circuit boards, microprocessors, systems controllers, IGBTs, photovoltaic cells, and others in applications where a transient protection is needed. It can also be used in transient voltage suppression in automotive and industrial systems.

Other areas in which this diode can be used include primary switching modes of inverters, PWM controllers, power supplies, and motor drive applications. It can also be used in over voltage suppression, signal lines, ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection, latching protection, and switch-mode power supplies.

Working Principle of SM8S26A-TP

The SM8S26A-TP is a low-noise, fast-responding, low-power, uni-directional Zener diode. It is designed to provide transient protection of high-voltage componentry in applications where transients are within the specified parameters of the device. The diode has a working voltage range of 12V to 63V, and a maximum clamping voltage of 76V.

When a surge of a higher voltage than the specified working voltage is encountered, the diode will begin to conduct. The on-state current of the diode is determined by the magnitude of the transient surge and its dissipation. The diode will thereby absorb and divert the surge voltage and current away from the protected component. This process helps to protect the component from potential damage caused by the surge.

The SM8S26A-TP helps to protect against ESD, over-voltage, and over-current transients. It will absorb and divert energy spikes of transients caused by lightning or other sources away from the protected component. The diode is designed to react quickly and clamp the transient voltage at a steady level, thereby preventing any component damage.

Conclusion

The SM8S26A-TP is a high-performance, low-noise, and low-power uni-directional diode designed for transient voltage suppression. It can be used to provide protection from those transients that are within the specified parameters of the device. The SM8S26A-TP is used in a wide range of areas including inverters, PWM controllers, power supplies, and motor drives. This diode helps to protect components from any damage caused by transients by absorbing and diverting the surge voltage and current away from the protected component.
