TVS or transient voltage suppressor diodes are built to provide a superior protection solution for high-speed and data lines voltage transients. The TPC13HM3/87A is a state-of-the-art TVS diode designed to provide high-speed and data line protection in critical drive and power applications. This diode offers an excellent response time of less than 1ns, and as such is ideal for protecting sensitive electronic components from ESD, EFT, and even lightning surges.

As high-speed and data lines more commonly now wield much higher voltage levels, the TPC13HM3/87A offers an exceptional protection level up to 11kV, allowing for up to 330V in accordance with the IEC 61000-4-2 standard. Furthermore, the device also exhibits a lower clamping voltage than other industry-standard diodes, providing up to 10 times the surge capability of diode arrays.

The TPC13HM3/87A diode offers incredibly fast response times, with the ability to switch from OFF to ON in just 1ns. These high-speed switching systems ensure that the voltage levels between the two states, OFF and ON, are kept minimal; this in turn prevents any potential damage to the electronic components within the system. This diode also contains ESD and transient protection, with the ESD protection level tested at 5kV in accordance with the IEC61000-4-2 standard and up to 11kV for transient protection level.

Understanding the working principle of the TPC13HM3/87A diode is extremely important in comprehending its potential use in modern data and power applications. As a result, it is necessary to understand a series of concepts. Firstly, the TPC13HM3/87A diode utilizes a Reverse Standoff Voltage (RSV), with the voltage difference between the anode and cathode carefully calculated to ensure the device does not switch on in the absence of overvoltage conditions. Secondly, the zener breakdown voltage is utilized by the diode; this parameter states the minimum voltage required to create a conduction path between the anode and cathode by allowing the electrons to pour over the reverse-biased junction.

The stored energy in this diode further enhances protection, as a sudden voltage spike will result in the electrons being pushed across the junction and into the electrons of the opposite side. This in turn results in the TPC13HM3/87A diode being switched off quickly. To further protect the system, a thermal device is used which provides protection in case of prolonged overvoltages. This ensures that any abnormal increase in voltage over extended periods of time is adequately monitored and hence, corrective measures can be taken.

To conclude, the TPC13HM3/87A is a state-of-the-art TVS diode which offers exceptional protection for sensitive electronic components from ESD, EFT, and even lightning surges. This diode can also be used to protect high-speed and data lines from higher voltages, as it boasts an incredible 11kV of ESD protection and fast response times. To gain an understanding of the working principles of this device, it is vital to understand the concept of Reverse Standoff Voltage, zener breakdown voltage, and stored energy, ensuring the correct protection of circuits.
