IntroductionThe very beginnings of TLPA26A can be traced back to the early 2000s when it first began to appear in a few applications in the electronics industry. TLPA26A is a two-terminal zinc oxide varistor. It has the characteristics of high breakdown voltage and surge current handling capability, making it an ideal choice for protecting sensitive components and circuitry from electro-static discharge (ESD) and overvoltage transients. The TLPA26A is a special kind of semiconductor diode, known as a TVS Diode.Definition and Description of TVS - DiodesTVS (transient voltage suppressors) diodes are semiconductor devices that are used to protect sensitive equipment from electrical transients generated by sources such as lightning strikes or electrostatic discharge (ESD). TVS diodes can limit both the amplitude and duration of overvoltage transients, helping to ensure that the sensitive equipment is unaffected and protected from such events. The ability of these devices to absorb significant amounts of surge power and protect the components and circuitry makes them an ideal choice for applications requiring effective protection against ESD and other over-voltage transients.How does a TVS Diode Work?When an ESD or overvoltage transient occurs, the TVS diode begins to conduct. This is because it has a higher breakdown voltage than the surrounding components. As more charge is allowed to flow across the diode, it begins to act as a low resistance path, effectively dissipating the excess energy generated by the event. The process of dissipating the energy then stabilizes the current and voltage across the circuit.Features of TLPA26AThe TLPA26A has a number of features that make it a versatile and dependable protection component. It has a wide operating temperature range (-55 to +125°C) and can readily operate in temperatures up to +175°C. It also has a low clamping voltage of 11 V, which prevents damage from low clamping voltage transients. The TLPA26A also features a peak of 8000 A and can sustain 2500 A for 1 ms, making it suitable for applications with high surge current protection requirements.ApplicationsThe TLPA26A is most commonly used to protect low-voltage analog and digital circuits from static discharge and overvoltage transient events. In addition, it can also be used in automotive applications, computer systems, industrial electrical systems, and many more.ConclusionThe TLPA26A is an innovative and versatile two-terminal zinc oxide varistor. It has an impressive range of features, such as its wide operating temperature range, low clamping voltage, and high surge current handling capability, which make it suitable for a range of applications, including low-voltage analog and digital circuits, automobiles, computer systems, and industrial electrical systems.
