SMF20A RVG, also known as Unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) Diodes, is a device designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from harmful ESD (electrostatic discharge/surge) events. SMF20A RVG is designed for complete protection of one-way high-speed applications such as USB and HDMI. It is designed for a nominal holding voltage of 6.8V, in a 12-lead unidirectional axial package. The device is characterized by its extremely fast response time, low clamping, ESD immunity, and excellent surge protection capabilities.

The working principle of SMF20A RVG is based on the combination of a Zener diode and a unidirectional bi-directional diode structure. The Zener diode regulates and enables uniform clamping of voltage transients while the unidirectional bi-directional diode helps limit rise time, clamping voltage, and switching speed. Additionally, the low leakage current helps maintain a good ESD immunity. The device is typically a surge protector that is used in applications such as USB, HDMI, and other sensitive electronic devices.

SMF20A RVG’s are capable of withstanding repetitive high surge/ESD events with or without external ESD protection networks. It also helps protect various sensitive electronic components from high voltage transients induced by ESD strikes on devices. Additionally, the device is designed for high frequency transient voltage spikes as well as high frequency common mode surges. The high bandwidth performance from SMF20A RVG avoids frequency limitations and helps in the protection of high speed signal internetworking.

In order to ensure maximum protection and reliability, SMF20A RVG’s are usually tested according to various industry standards such as IEC 61000-4-2 (ESD, level 4, contact discharge), IEC 61000-4-4 (EFT, level 4, 4kV, 5/50ns) and IEC 61000-4-5 (surge, level 4, class B+C). The device is also tested for power stability and inrush current to make sure the device integrity is intact during normal operations. Additionally, the low capacitance of SMF20A RVG helps in the protection of sensitive analog signals that cannot tolerate high capacitances.

The overall design of SMF20A RVG makes it ideal for high frequency transient voltage surge and ESD protection applications in one-way high speed communication systems. The device can withstand high levels of surge causing events without any form permanent damage or loss in signal integrity. The device also features low capacitance and can be used for signal operation in various sensitive analog systems. The device can be combined with external ESD protection networks for additional protection and reliability in protecting sensitive electronic equipment.
