TPSMP22AHM3_A/H Circuit Protection

TVS - Diodes

TVS - Diodes or transil diodes are electronic components that are used for protecting computers, digital systems, and other kinds of electronic applications from overvoltage. The TPSMP22AHM3_A/H offers superb protection against ESD, lightning, and EFT events. It is specifically designed to protect sensitive electronic circuits, such as microprocessors, data lines, power supplies, audio and video systems, memory chips, and other fragile components.

Overview

The TPSMP22AHM3_A/H is a unidirectional transil diode with two line connections for easy installation. It has a peak pulse power of up to 22 A and a breakdown voltage of 22 V. It is suitable for a wide variety of applications, ranging from automotive, consumer, and industrial to medical, aerospace, and military applications. This device is encapsulated in a small SOD-523 (JEDEC) package.

Applications

The TPSMP22AHM3_A/H is designed for use in automotive, industrial, and consumer applications. It is suitable for AC/DC power converters, data line protection, and microprocessor transient suppression. It is commonly used to protect systems from electrostatic discharge (ESD), lightning, and EFT events. It can also be used to protect small signal input circuits in audio, video, memory, and other digital circuits. This device is especially suitable for applications that require very low capacitance.

Working Principle

The working principle of the TPSMP22AHM3_A/H is based on the principle of breakdown voltage. This device can withstand a certain amount of overvoltage before it breaks down, thus providing excellent surge protection. This allows the device to protect sensitive electronic systems from potentially damaging events, such as lightning, ESD, and EFT. When an overvoltage occurs, the device rapidly switches on to provide a low-impedance path for the current to flow through. This low-impedance path helps to limit the peak voltage and protect the system.

Conclusion

The TPSMP22AHM3_A/H transil diode is a versatile and reliable electronic component that can be used for a wide variety of applications. It is designed for use in automotive, industrial, and consumer applications, and it offers superior protection against ESD, lightning, and EFT events. This device is capable of withstanding a certain amount of overvoltage before it breaks down, thus providing excellent surge protection for sensitive circuits.
