STRVS241X02E Application and Working Principle

STRVS241X02E is a part of the TVS - Diodes family. This part is a low voltage nonlinear peak current limiting diode that is ideal for use in applications that require transient voltage suppression for power protection. TVS diodes are used to protect circuits from high-voltage transients such as electrostatic discharge (ESD), electrical transients, and lightning surges which can cause destruction of sensitive components and systems.

Applications of STRVS241X02E

The STRVS241X02E is typically used in automotive microcontroller-based systems. It can provide overvoltage protection for data lines and ports, as well as protecting against voltage transients from various sources including engine ignition noise, antenna currents, and cable noise. It is also suitable for use in communication systems, consumer electronics, computer peripherals, and industrial equipment.

Working Principle

The STRVS241X02E is an unidirectional device, meaning that current will only flow in one direction. It consists of a silicon diode junction, a Zener diode, and a resistive element. When a high voltage is applied across the device, the diode junction begins to break down, creating a low-resistance path for current to flow. The Zener diode creates a low-voltage barrier that prevents the voltage from exceeding a certain level. The resistive element reduces the amount of current that is allowed to flow. This prevents damage to the circuit from large surges of current.

When a transient voltage is applied, the diode junction conducts, which limits the amount of current that can flow. This lowers the voltage quickly, thus preventing any damage to the device or surrounding components. The Zener diode supplies additional protection by limiting the maximum voltage. When the voltage drops below the Zener level, the current flow is stopped and the device is reset.

Conclusion

The STRVS241X02E is a low-voltage peak current limiting diode that is used in automotive microcontroller-based systems. It is an unidirectional device composed of a silicon diode junction, a Zener diode, and a resistive element. When a transient voltage is applied, the diode junction conducts, which limits the current flow and protects the circuit from damage. The Zener diode creates a low-voltage barrier to prevent voltage from exceeding certain levels. This device is ideal for use in applications that require transient voltage suppression for power protection.
