TVS (transient voltage suppression) diodes are often used for surge protection which includes electrical power influences like electrostatic discharge (ESD), lightning strikes, enter surges, inductive load switching, etc. The TPSMB150CA series of TVS diodes are specifically designed to protect automotive systems against tough transient voltage stresses. Ideal for today’s energy efficient automotive designs, they offer low leakage current, high peak pulse power, and low body capacitance.

The TPSMB150CA series is the most popular and reliable TVS diode solution on the market. It is an ultrafast, unidirectional diode designed to protect ICs, FETs, and other electronic components from destructive voltage transients. It is made of a hermetic, 17-pin flat package with a 150W peak pulse power and low body capacitance of 3 pF. It is an efficient and reliable solution for protecting automotive systems against ESD, transient voltage, and lightning strikes.

The TPSMB150CA diode employs a well-defined fast switching capability to counteract the effects of electrical surges quickly. In a matter of nanoseconds, the diode will begin to conduct the induced surge current, reducing the voltage to a safe level. This is known as clamping and is the reason the TPSMB150CA is such an effective performer. As it is a unidirectional device, current only flows in one direction and there is no need for dual protection.

The working principle of the TPSMB150CA is a simple one. When a surge of voltage higher than its reverse breakdown voltage (Vr) is applied, it immediately begins to conduct current in the reverse direction, hence clamping the voltage across its terminals and limiting the amount of current flowing through its leads. This current is then diverted to ground. This protection mechanism is instantaneous, so the system is immediately safeguarded. The device can also recover quickly from the surge.

The TPSMB150CA is an ideal choice for automotive designs. Due to its low leakage current of <5μA, it offers improved efficiency and does not drain the battery even when the line is connected for a long period. In addition, its high peak pulse power capability (150W max) makes it highly reliable in handling peak voltage spikes, while its low body capacitance of 3 pF ensures uninterrupted signal transmission.

The TPSMB150CA is a great option for protecting automotive systems against harsh electrical power influences such as ESD, surge, lightning strike, or inductive load switching. It works by reducing the voltage of an incoming surge to a safe and predetermined level in a matter of nanoseconds. This prevents any damage occurring to sensitive electrical components, while its low leakage current and low body capacitance ensure an efficient performance.
