Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) diodes are a type of diode designed to protect circuits from sudden voltage spikes and surges. The SMCJ45CA-Q TVS diode is a bi-directional, unidirectional, or bidirectional device that provides transient voltage protection from 8.801V up to 28V, and offers a maximum peak pulse power rating of 600W.

There are many applications for the SMCJ45CA-Q, which include electro-optical, telecom equipment, and instrumentation fields. This device is commonly used to protect a circuit’s positive and negative lines from static electricity, electro-static discharge (ESD), propagation of electrical noise, or electrical overstress (EOS). It is also used in applications exposed to large sources of interference such as automobiles, where transient overvoltage can be caused by a circuit’s alternator or an electronic interference source.

The SMCJ45CA-Q is constructed with a series of layers, each layer providing a specific function. It features a high capacitance layer to provide a larger capacitance and lower breakdown voltage capability. It also has a planar structure, which reduces the inductance and thus helps reduce high frequency noise. The device also includes a sacrificial dielectric layer to absorb energy during electro-static discharge, and a passivation layer that increases the SMCJ45CA-Q’s ability to withstand electrical overstress.

The operating principle of the SMCJ45CA-Q is based on the principle of reverse (or avalanche) breakdown. When the diode is exposed to a voltage higher than its breakdown voltage, it will enter into a highly conductive state, greatly reducing the impedance of the circuit. This causes the voltage to be diverted to ground, thus preventing further damage to the circuit. The SMCJ45CA-Q provides protection against voltage spikes up to 28V, with a fast response time of 0.5 µs and less than 2ps leakage current.

In conclusion, the SMCJ45CA-Q TVS diode is a popular device for protecting a circuit from transient voltage and surges. It is often used in a wide variety of applications, such as electro-optical devices, instrumentation systems, and telecom equipment. Its reverse breakdown principle allows it to protect a circuit’s lines from static electricity and other sources of interference. Its planar structure and sacrificial dielectric layer increase its ability to absorb energy and reduce inductance.
