SZ1SMB6.5AT3G

TVS - Diodes

TVS - Diodes are used to protect electronic equipment from overvoltage or electrostatic discharge (ESD). One such device is the SZ1SMB6.5AT3G. This diode offers a wide range of protection for digital and analog circuits.

Application Field

The SZ1SMB6.5AT3G is suitable for use in TV receiver and monitor circuits, telephone sets and signal lines, computer internal DSP digital circuits, game consoles, and other consumer products. It is ideal for shielding against electrostatic discharge, fast transients, and line-to-line surges.

Working Principle

The SZ1SMB6.5AT3G is a unidirectional TVS diode. When the voltage across the device\'s terminals exceeds the breakdown voltage, the diode conducts current. This action clamps the voltage at a defined level, thereby protecting the device against excessively high voltages. The diode works by forming an avalanche current path, allowing the current to flow from the anode to the cathode. This current path is formed at an electric field that is greater than the breakdown voltage of the device.

When the voltage drops below the device\'s breakdown voltage, the anode current is cut off and the device is back to its original blocking state. The diode can also be used to absorb large pulses of energy or burst of electromagnetic radiation. In such a scenario, the diode will act like a current clamp and dissipate those surges in the device\'s internal resistance.

The SZ1SMB6.5AT3G has plenty of advantages. It can be used in both linear and switching power supply applications. It also has a low leakage current, a fast response time, and a wide operating temperature range. In addition, this diode has a low clamping voltage, making it an ideal choice for high-voltage applications.

The SZ1SMB6.5AT3G is an excellent and versatile protective device for a wide range of applications. Its superior performance makes it a great choice for designers looking for reliable protection against overvoltage and ESD. It is easy to use and deploy, and it can be used in both large and small applications.
