SMCG5664/TR13

TVS (transient voltage suppressor) diodes are designed to handle high-voltage, high-energy impulses which are generated by lightning, inductive loads, and static electricity. They are used to protect electronic circuits from over-voltage transients which may damage these circuits. The SMCG5664/TR13 is a unidirectional TVS diode which is used to protect against voltage transients in sensitive electronic components.

The SMCG5664/TR13 is an SMC (surface-mount component) packaged in a 4-pin leadless (LLP) package. It has very low leakage current and is rated for up to 800W peak pulse power dissipation with a 10/1000μs pulse width. It has a breakdown voltage of 6.5V and a low capacitance of only 7pF. It has an low VBR clamping voltage of 11V and a low response time of 1.5ns.

The SMCG5664/TR13 application field includes IT and industrial electronics devices, automobiles, digital systems, and consumer electronic products. It is suitable for use in applications such as over-voltage protection for Ethernet ports, power MOSFET protected circuits, LCD displays, and computer systems.

The working principle of the SMCG5664/TR13 is based on the avalanche breakdown effect. In the presence of an overvoltage, the device\'s breakdown voltage is exceeded, and the current flow is increased exponentially. This results in a sharp voltage drop across the device, clamping the voltage transient at a safe level. The device then self-resets and returns to its normal operation mode.

The SMCG5664/TR13 provides superior protection in the presence of electrical surges and transients, making it an excellent choice for applications which require reliable over-voltage protection. It is small in size, has low leakage current, and a low capacitance, making it highly suitable for use in SMC packaged products.
