A transient voltage suppressor (TVS) is essential to any system or circuit for its safety and most of our applications, such as SMF11A-E3-08, utilize TVS – diodes. These devices are usually used for protecting against voltage transients or electrical surges. They are used to protect circuits from high levels of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and induced transients. As the pulse duration shortens the amount of energy that can be dissipated increases and the diode’s ability to clap and dissipate the high amplitude energy without sustaining damage or affecting the rest of the circuit is known as its ‘clamping action’.

The function of a typical TVS on the SMF11A-E3-08 is to protect the device from overvoltage transients. The TVS works by connecting a low-resistance path between line and ground during an overvoltage event, thus diverting the excessive voltages away from the device. By diverting the voltage away from the device, the TVS also helps to reduce any residual noise that may be generated when the voltage spike dissipates. Aside from this, it also helps to reduce the amount of voltage ripple that may be generated during EMI events.

When it comes to TVS on the SMF11A-E3-08, these devices are designed to suppress a given voltage level, known as the clamping voltage, and they also have a certain response time, which is the time required for the protective action to begin. When the device is exposed to a voltage transient, the TVS begins to conduct current which helps limit the voltage spike and minimize its effects on the device. The TVS is designed to limit the voltage to a level that will not damage the device and will not significantly affect the operation of the device.

The majority of TVS on the SMF11A-E3-08 use a zener diode as the active device. A zener diode is a semiconductor device that behaves like a particularly stable voltage regulator. The zener has an inherent ability to increase its resistance when the voltage reaches a certain level, which then reduces or clamps the voltage. During a voltage transient, the zener diode will offer a low resistance path to the high voltage, thus limiting the voltage spike to a level that the rest of the circuit will be able to handle.

Besides the zener diodes, the TVS on the SMF11A-E3-08 also use avalanche diodes as its active device. An avalanche diode is another type of semiconductor device that is used for suppressing voltage transients. Avalanche diodes have a much higher breakdown voltage and are better suited for handling high voltage events than zener diodes. They also provide a faster response time than zener diodes, which makes them more effective in suppressing voltage transients. The TVS on the SMF11A-E3-08 are usually comprised of both zener and avalanche diodes to provide better protection against both high voltage and fast voltage transients.

In conclusion, TVS – diodes are essential to the safety and reliability of any system. On the SMF11A-E3-08, the TVS is used to protect the system from electrical surges and high levels of EMI. It works by connecting a low-resistance path between line and ground, thus diverting the excessive voltages away from the device. The TVS usually uses zener and avalanche diodes as its active device, as they provide a better level of protection during a voltage transient.
