Transient Voltage Suppressors, commonly known as TVS, are an essential and popular protection component, widely used in power supply and PC board applications. SMBG100A-M3/5B is one of the widely used TVS-diodes, and it has won great popularity among engineers in the electronics industry.

SMBG100A-M3/5B is a single-axis diode which uses the reverse action of a breakdown avalanche to turn the power off once the voltage level of the system is above the operating voltage of the device. The device is made from a pair of lateral PN junctions connected in parallel and connected to a common ground point. These devices are often used in pair configurations, where one diode is mounted to the positive and the other to the negative rail of the circuit, providing the most protection. The SMBG100A-M3/5B has a peak pulse power rating of 100A and a working voltage of 5V.

SMBG100A-M3/5B is commonly used in a wide range of applications, including power supplies, automotive circuits, telecommunications equipment, and consumer electronics. It is used to protect sensitive components from excess voltage and current, as well as from electrostatic discharge (ESD). The TVS diode is also commonly used in voltage regulators, switch-mode power supplies, and other circuits where voltage transients or spikes may occur.

The working principle of the SMBG100A-M3/5B is simple. When the voltage surpasses the diode’s breakdown voltage, the reverse current will flow and cause the device to activate. When the voltage is restored to normal, the device will remain in its original state. The diode can also protect against ESD by providing an alternate path for the current to flow, thereby limiting the amount of energy that reaches the circuit. The TVS diode also functions as a protective “fuse”, providing a “sacrificial” layer of protection between sensitive components and excess voltage or current.

The SMBG100A-M3/5B is an efficient, reliable, and popular TVS-diode, and it is widely used in many different applications. Its robust design and protective properties make it ideal for applications where significant voltage or current fluctuations are likely. With its fast switching speed, it can provide effective protection against transients and ESD, ensuring the safe operation of the system.
