TVS - Diodes

The SM8S36A-TP is a Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) Diode typically used to protect sensitive electronic device from destructive voltage spikes up to 36V for automotive applications. TVS diodes also provide transient surge protection on DC power rails, phone lines, data lines and other communication systems when transient voltage and surge currents exceed the rated current.

Application Field

SM8S36A-TP is suitable for automotive applications, including the protection of:

• Automotive Battery Connections
• Sensors
• Controls
• Communication Systems
• Data Lines

In addition, SM8S36A-TP is also suitable for industrial applications requiring transient voltage and surge protection, such as:

• Power Supplies
• Lighting Systems
• Motor Controls
• Electronic Weapons Control Systems
• Industrial Process Controls
• Other Systems Requiring Transient Voltage Protection

Working Principle

SM8S36A-TP works by clamps voltage surge and current spike. The diode works by limiting the voltage across it to a safe level immediately after a transient surge by conducting any additional current until the energy is discharged and the voltage returns to normal. The diode can also snub the voltage to dispel any potential surge ramp up.

SM8S36A-TP is typically based on carefully designed p-n junction diodes combined with an avalanche break down process optimized to allow for transient voltage and surge currents to be dissipated from the protected electronics with minimal energy loss, while making sure the diode recovers fully between each surge.

The semiconductor junction used in SM8S36A-TP is also designed to suppress reverse current flow. This ensures that the TVS diode remains in its linear region and can react quickly to clamp any potential transients or surges to a safe line.
