TVS (transient voltage suppressors) or transient voltage stabilizers are nonlinear voltage-dependent devices that efficiently reduce overvoltage transients to safer levels. Diodes are among the most common type of TVS devices commonly used in the industry. SMBJ40CATR is a 40V 5.0A unidirectional TVS diode manufactured by STMicroelectronics. It is used in applications where overvoltage protection is required due to large inductive spikes or surges from external sources, and in situations where the device’s low capacitance allows for a minimum input signal attenuation.

SMBJ40CATR is used in various application fields across the industry, such as automotive, networking, consumer electronics, and ICT. In automotive applications, it can be used as a protection device against surges or spikes in the current due to inductive loads, such as alternator surges, engine starts, or power pulses caused by generators. In networking, it can be used to protect devices connected to the network, such as switches and routers, from surges and spikes. It is also used in consumer electronics, such as television sets, laptops, and smartphones, to protect them against surges and spikes from the mains, and also from external sources, such as lightning strikes. Similarly, it can be used in ICT to protect against large surges from the power line or unexpected power outages.

SMBJ40CATR devices have also been designed to withstand high-energy surges in the range of 200A when it is in direct contact with the surge source. The inner PN junction is designed to quickly respond to overvoltage, thus providing fast response time for protection. Additionally,the diode has been designed to ensure precise voltage clamping with a voltage clamping ratio (Vc/Vzs) of 1.5 with a response time of 5 nanoseconds. The forward voltage drop is low, which means it can handle high current flows more efficiently. The breakdown voltage is 40V, and the maximum peak pulse power is 2600W.

SMBJ40CATR devices have a relatively low capacitance, around 0.17pF (at 10V), which means that it does not allow for much signal attenuation on input signals. This low capacitance is an advantage when using the device as overvoltage protection for audio and digital applications such as audio amplifiers, and ADC and DAC converters.

The working principle of SMBJ40CATR devices is relatively simple. The device is designed to quickly respond to sudden increases in voltage. When a surge or spike occurs, the PN junction starts to conduct current, thus reducing the potential difference between the input and output signals. This current is then routed away from the protected device, thus providing protection against the surge or spike. Since the device responds quickly to sudden changes in voltage, it can provide protection against even very fast, high energy surges.

In conclusion, SMBJ40CATR is an unidirectional 40V 5A TVS diode from STMicroelectronics. It is used in a variety of application fields, from automotive to consumer electronics, due to its high surge and spike protection capabilities, and its low capacitance. The working principle of the device is simple; the PN junction quickly responds to overvoltage, providing fast response times for protection.
