TVP06B161A-G

TVS - Diodes Application Field and Working Principle

Transient Voltage Suppression Diodes (TVS-Diodes) are one of the most widely used forms of protection against overvoltage and are typically used in many electronic circuits.A TVS- Diode is a replaceable, discrete semiconductor device with two terminals that will regulate excessive voltage. TVS- diodes are designed to protect against electrostatic discharge ( ESD ), electrical fast transients ( EFT ) and lightning induced transients. They provide a very economical and effective form of protection and can be used to protect inputs, outputs, and other electronic components.

The TVP06B161A-G is an ideal ESD and overvoltage protection diode which provides excellent clamping capability at a low capacitance. It has an extremely low capacitance of 0.18pF, along with an ESD protection of more than ±15kV for contact discharge and ±30kV for air discharge. It also features low leakage current of 0.08nA at 4.5V, with an extremely low failure rate.

The TVP06B161A-GTVS Diode is designed for use in applications such as cellular telephones, portable electronics, and other applications that are sensitive to ESD and overvoltage transients. It is designed to protect sensitive components from ESD, EFT, and lightning induced transients.

The working principle of TVP06B161A-GTVS Diode is relatively simple. When a surge or voltage spike is applied to the circuit, the diode acts like a semiconductor switch and starts conducting current. This works by preventing the spike or voltage from passing to the other components, preventing damage to those components.

The TVP06B161A-G TVS Diode is an efficient way to protect sensitive components from ESD, EFT, and lightning-induced transients. By using this type of diode, circuit designers can ensure their circuit is protected from any unexpected overvoltages or surges.
