TVP06B560A-G Circuit Protection

TVP06B560A-G is a most common type of Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) diode. It is designed to protect sensitive electronic components from power surges and overvoltage. This device is rated for continuous operating temperature ranges ranging from -65 to +175 ℃. Its construction is of plastic package which has improved endurance characteristics and better solderability. Its very low capacitance ensures excellent transient protection when used in parallel with the signal line. The device provides fast response time of 10ns and low clamping voltage of 5.7V normally open terminal. It has also passivated oxide for improved reliability.

Application Field

TVP06B560A-G is mainly used in computer, communication system, and consumer electronics as a protective component. It is designed to protect against inductive and transients spikes caused by, lightning, power cross, and other sources. It is used in vehicles to protect against over voltage conditions that may result from battery jump starts or voltage differentials. This device also has low clamp voltage capabilities that make it suitable for protecting data lines from voltage transients and surges. Furthermore, it is used in LAN network, video camera, digital TV, and VoIP applications.

Working Principle

The main purpose of the TVP06B560A-G is to provide protection from overvoltage conditions. It works by controlling the flow of current through the device by clamping down the voltage that exceeds its breakdown threshold. The voltage is clamped down to a safe level to protect the electronic device from any damage. The device works by controlling the current and limiting the amount of current flowing to the protected device. The device is also equipped with a Varistor that allows the diode to clamp down static or slowly increasing in-line DC levels. The Varistor is used to reduce the effects of these static or slowly increasing DC levels while allowing programming line to stay relatively unharmed.

The TVP06B560A-G is also equipped with a Zener diode which provides additional protection against high-energy transient pulses that can cause voltage surges within electronic circuits. The Zener diode absorbs the transient pulses and helps control the voltage applied to the protected circuit. This diode is also designed to provide a low clamping voltage of 5.7V which helps reduce the likelihood of damage caused by overvoltage conditions.

Finally, the TVP06B560A-G also has a very low capacitance of 0.1pf which allows the diode to provide fast response time of 10ns when handling current surges. This fast response time ensures the TVP06B560A-G reacts quickly to protect against voltage surges, allowing the device to be well protected from overvoltage conditions.
