SMDA03C-4-2/TR13

TVS, or Transient Voltage Suppressor Diodes, are a specialized type of diode mainly used in electronic circuit protection applications. TVS diodes are designed to protect sensitive electronic components from sudden power or voltage surges, and they work by absorbing the surge extremely quickly when its threshold limit has been exceeded. The SMDA03C-4-2/TR13 is a type of television signaling diode specifically designed for the protection of DC power line-powered equipment.

The SMDA03C-4-2/TR13 is an uni-directional, multi-chip diode with a molded package measuring 2.8 mm x 1.3 mm. It is designed with an industry-standard pin configuration, making it suitable for use in applications with very limited space requirements. The device has a low ESL/ESR of 0.1 pF/ 17Ω, which makes it suitable for high-frequency applications.

The SMDA03C-4-2/TR13 uses a fast avalanche breakdown mode of operation, giving it a much lower breakdown voltage than other types of TVS diodes. This device also provides better protection against high-energy transients through the use of its high breakdown voltage, high current capacity and low capacitance/noise performance. The SMDA03C-4-2/TR13 also features a low leakage current, making it suitable for use in applications where low capacitance is needed.

The typical operating conditions for the SMDA03C-4-2/TR13 include a maximum voltage of 20V and a maximum current of +2.5 A. The device can be used to protect against transients that exceed the operating voltage of the protected circuit, and it is usually used in combination with other protection elements such as fuses and varistors. It is also suitable for protecting against high-energy, low-frequency transients, such as those that can occur during an AC power failure.

The main application of the SMDA03C-4-2/TR13 is in the protection of DC line-powered equipment, such as cell phones and digital cameras. The device can also be used in data/telecommunications networks, automotive applications, and various industrial equipment. The device is designed to be used in parallel with the protected circuit, and its fast avalanche breakdown mode protects the circuit from voltage spikes that exceed the designed voltage limits of the protected circuit. It is also designed to be suitable for high-frequency applications, allowing it to be used in applications where low capacitance is important.
