TVS - Diodes, such as the SMBJ160CAHR5G, are widely used in a variety of applications. This diodes can protect sensitive electronic components from overvoltage, transients, and ESD (electrostatic discharge) events. As such, they are typically used in automotive, consumer electronics, medical, and industrial applications. To better understand how these diodes work and the application field of the SMBJ160CAHR5G, let’s take a closer look at the device, its working principle, and its typical applications.

Device Functionality and Working Principle

TVS diodes, like the SMBJ160CAHR5G, are designed to protect circuits from high voltage and ESD. These devices offer a combination of clamping and filtering functions, thereby protecting circuits from voltage and current transients caused by electrical disturbances. The SMBJ160CAHR5G can protect against ESD up to 8kV, meaning that it is more than capable of protecting against typical ESD events.

TVS diodes work by allowing a small amount of current to flow in either direction when a voltage is applied to it. When the voltage level surpasses the breakdown voltage level of the diode, it enters a high leakage current state. This reduces the voltage on the protected device, providing a safe level of protection. Once the voltage across the diode has dropped, it returns to its normal low leakage state.

Typical Applications

The field of applications for the SMBJ160CAHR5G is very broad. The primary applications for the device include automotive, consumer electronics, medical and industrial systems. In automotive applications, the device can be used to protect both the electronic control unit (ECU) and the vehicle’s wiring. In consumer electronics applications, the diode can be used to protect against voltage and current transients caused by electrical disturbances. For medical applications, it can be used to protect pacemakers, diagnostic equipment, and other sensitive electronics. Finally in industrial applications, it can be used to protect motor drives and other power electronics from sudden voltage surges.

In addition to these applications, the SMBJ160CAHR5G can be used in a variety of other applications, including telecom, aerospace, and alternate energy applications.

Conclusion

The SMBJ160CAHR5G is a versatile TVS diode that can be used in a variety of protection applications, including automotive, consumer electronics, medical, and industrial applications. It offers 8kV of ESD protection, making it more than capable of protecting against typical ESD events. The device also offers both current and voltage protection, making it a great choice for protecting sensitive electronics.
