TVS – Diodes

TVS – Diodes are commonly used as protection circuits in a wide variety of applications. The TGL41-150A-E3/96 is a silicon-based unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppression Diode designed specifically for use in automotive electrical circuits. The device offers excellent performance characteristics such as high peak current and low reverse leakage.

Application Field and Working Principle of TGL41-150A-E3/96

The TGL41-150A-E3/96 is designed for applications where a low clamping voltage is desired such as automotive electrical circuits. The device has a maximum peak pulse power of 150W and a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.03mA. It is ideal for applications where transients need to be suppressed before they can cause circuit malfunctions or harm other components. The device can be used in a variety of situations, including equalizing voltage in power distribution systems and protecting signal lines from broadcast interference.

This device can also be used to provide over-voltage protection. It is designed with an integrated breakdown voltage that limits the amount of voltage that can pass through the diode. This is important for systems where a specific amount of voltage needs to be maintained in order to prevent damage. The device has an integrated failure mode that will activate in the event of an over-voltage condition, shutting off power to the circuit.

The working principle of the TGL41-150A-E3/96 is based on the principle of reverse-biased avalanche breakdown. This means that when a high enough voltage is applied to the device, it will experience an abrupt increase in current due to the breakdown of the depletion layer, which causes it to suppress transient voltages. When the voltage returns to normal, the device will return to its normal operation. This allows it to protect circuits from high transient voltages.

In addition to its protection function, the TGL41-150A-E3/96 can also be used in applications where current or voltage must be controlled. The device provides an adjustable current/voltage limit that allows for precise control. The device is also very reliable and low maintenance, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.

In summary, the TGL41-150A-E3/96 is a versatile and reliable Transient Voltage Suppression Diode that is designed for automotive electrical circuits. It offers excellent performance characteristics, such as high peak current, low reverse leakage, and adjustable current/voltage limit. The device is designed with an integrated breakdown voltage that limits the amount of voltage that can pass through the diode, and its integrated failure mode will activate in the event of an over-voltage condition. It is ideal for applications where transients need to be suppressed, and it can also be used to provide over-voltage protection.
