TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressors) diodes, like the SMAT70A-13-F, are specially designed circuit components used to protect sensitive electronic components in various applications. They are employed in automotive, industrial, consumer and commercial applications to absorb voltage spikes that can be disruptive or damaging to the circuits in which they are used.

The most common applications for TVS diodes are USB port protection, over-voltage protection, electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection, and power-line surge protection. The SMAT70A-13-F in particular is suitable for these applications due to its ability to disperse high voltages with respect to its size. It is rated to handle voltages up to 13.0V and current up to 1500W.

To understand how a TVS diode like the SMAT70A-13-F works, one must first understand the principles of electrical flow. In brief, electricity flows through a circuit when there is a difference in voltage between two nodes. When an excess of voltage is introduced to the circuit, the resulting current in the circuit can cause damage.

The SMAT70A-13-F works by suppressing these spikes in current that can potentially cause damage. It does this by directly absorbing the voltage, redirecting it into another circuit, or dispersing it into the atmosphere. It is specially designed to open quickly when it detects an over-voltage situation, allowing energy to be diverted away from sensitive components. When the excess voltage passes, the diode closes and the power goes back to the circuit.

While it is designed to protect sensitive components, the SMAT70A-13-F is also able to handle power spikes up to 1500W. Its fast response time means it can handle voltage spikes that may occur due to static electricity, lightning, or power surges from the power grid.

The SMAT70A-13-F is an ideal component for applications where protection from voltage spikes is needed. It offers fast response times, reliable protection, and a small form factor, which makes it suitable for many different types of applications. Its low power consumption also makes it ideal for battery-powered devices.
