TVS – Diodes

TVS – Diodes, otherwise known as Transient Voltage Suppression Diodes, were specifically designed to protect electronic components from overvoltage transients, commonly known as spikes, which can occur on the power supply rails, data lines, or signal lines among other components. They are becoming increasingly important, especially in the automotive industry, to help protect circuitry from common voltage transients, surges, and other extreme electrical conditions that could otherwise cause catastrophic damage to the circuits they are protecting. The TGL41-47-E3/96 is a perfect example of these types of diodes, designed to provide isolation for the sensitive automotive circuits.

Application Field

The TGL41-47-E3/96 is a unidirectional television suppressor diode designed specifically for protecting automotive circuits in the automotive application field. The primary purpose of this diode is to guard against excessive voltage transients and other electrical anomalies from power supply lines, high-speed data lines, as well as signal and other sensitive automotive circuits. This type of diode is especially useful in applications such as Automotive Electronic Control Units (ECUs) and Engine Control Modules (ECMs), where protection against possible overvoltage damage is essential.

Working Principle

The TGL41-47-E3/96 works by absorbing and dissipating any sudden voltage transients or other electrical anomalies by diverting them away from the main circuit. When an overvoltage is detected, the diode is triggered into action, allowing the excess voltage to be diverted to ground. This helps to protect the automotive circuits by preventing any current overload scenarios as well as any potential reverse bias or overvoltage spikes. By diverting the transient current away from the main circuit, the TGL41-47-E3/96 helps to protect the much more valuable components from any catastrophic damage.

Conclusion

The TGL41-47-E3/96 is a specially designed unidirectional television suppressor diode specifically designed for automotive applications and is particularly useful for protecting electronic components from any potential overvoltage wake-up transients, surges, or other extreme electrical conditions that may otherwise potentially cause catastrophic damage to the circuits they are protecting. The diode works by absorbing the transient voltage and dissipating it to ground, protecting the main circuit and its components from any associated current overload scenarios.
