Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) diodes are an important part of electrical circuits in a variety of applications, providing protection mainly against electrical spikes and surges. The SMP16A-E3/85A TVS diode is a unidirectional device used to protect electronic devices against high voltage transients.

The SMP16A-E3/85A is a diode that stands out due to its fast response to transients and its low capacitance. It is designed to be used in a broad range of power/protection applications.

The SMP16A-E3/85A has a specified breakdown voltage for this device of 16 volts, and a maximum peak pulse power dissipation of 850 W (10/1000 μs waveform). It also has the capability of passing a surge current of up to 84A (t = 8/20 μs waveform).

The SMP16A-E3/85A is ideal for a range of applications where it can protect electronics from high-energy transients. These applications include industrial, military, automotive and consumer electronics.

The SMP16A-E3/85A is also suitable for Data Communication lines, Ethernet ports and USB cables. It is designed to protect against Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) and Electrical Fast Transient (EFT) events. In addition, due to its low capacitance, it is suitable for high frequency applications.

The working principle of the SMP16A-E3/85A is relatively simple. When an electrical short or surge occurs, the diode allows current to flow through it, thus limiting the amount of voltage that reaches the sensitive device. This limit is set by the breakdown voltage specification of the diode. If the voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage, the diode "breaks down" and the current flows, while if the voltage is below the breakdown voltage, the diode acts as an open circuit and stops the current.

In summary, the SMP16A-E3/85A from Bourns offers an industry-standard solution for applications where protection from transients and voltage spikes are needed. It is designed to provide protection by allowing surge currents to pass through the diode at voltages lower than the breakdown level. This allows it to be used in a wide variety of power/protection applications.
