TVS - Diodes are a type of semiconductor protection device which offers protection against electrical transients stemming from lightning, electrostatic discharge (ESD), and other types of over voltage events. One such device is the SMDJ70CA, a 70 volt bi-directional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode array designed to replace the high voltage zener diodes in applications up to 1kV peak pulse power. Methods of protection include providing a proper clamping effect for over voltage transient and high speed switching for ESD protection, and they also help protect against voltage overshoot and voltage undershoot.

The SMDJ70CA is a unidirectional diode array that offers transient voltage suppression in both bi-directional and uni-directional modes. It offers a clamping voltage of 70 volts, and the Max Ipp current rating is 300A peak pulse current. The diode provides reliable and efficient protection from transients over a wide operating temperature range of -55°C to 150°C. By utilizing its low capacitance they do not reduce the rise time of the transient, and the low thermal resistance of the semiconductor provides improved electrical protection.

The SMDJ70CA can be used in both high voltage and low voltage applications. It is typically used in automotive and industrial applications such as automotive ECU, motor drives, and power converters. In low voltage applications, it provides protection from over voltage transients in power supplies and microprocessors. In high voltage applications, it provides ESD protection for high voltage components. The device is also designed to have low capacitance so that it does not reduce the rise time of the transient.

The working principle behind the SMDJ70CA is simple. It is a diode array that consists of alternating N-type and P-type semiconductor layers. Each layer is connected to a rail and when a voltage exceeding the breakdown voltage is applied, the diode array redirects the voltage to lower levels. This protection allows the device to remain within the safe operating range, and reduces the damage caused by the transient. The diode also offers ESD protection by providing a low capacitance path to ground. When the device is exposed to an electrostatic discharge energy, the low capacitance path helps channel the charge away from the component and into the ground.

The SMDJ70CA is a versatile device that provides a reliable protection solution in both low voltage and high voltage applications. It helps protect against voltage overshoot and voltage undershoot, and it provides ESD protection for high voltage components. The low thermal resistance of the diode array reduces the impact of electrical transients, and the low capacitance ensures that there is no reduction in the rise time of the transient. With these features, the SMDJ70CA can offer superior protection in a wide variety of applications.
