TVS (transient voltage suppressors) diodes protect sensitive electronics from electrical transients, which are brief and intense surges of current. Transients can be caused by an event as small as an electrostatic discharge or as large as a power line surge in a lightning storm. One of the most popular transient voltage suppressor diodes is the TVS 518 series.

The TVS 518 series is a bidirectional diode that provides reverse and forward protection from voltage spikes. It\'s small size and low on resistance makes it suitable for surface-mounted devices in a wide range of applications.

The TVS 518 series is designed to protect against higher than specified voltage levels. Common applications include sensing line protection, communication line protection and other applications that require transient voltage protection. The series also has a wide range of ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection levels, making it suitable for a variety of uses in various different environments.

The TVS 518 series operates by providing a low impedance path across its terminals when the reverse voltage level is greater than a predetermined level. This clamps the voltage to a safe level and prevents damage or destruction of the protected device. The TVS 518 series can also supply a high level of current, preventing device burnout. This is because the diode does not require the current to travel through a neutralizing inductance.

The TVS 518 series is available in a range of models and circuit topologies. The series has a low on-resistance which allows for minimal power dissipation and high surge withstand capabilities. This makes it suitable for a variety of different applications and environments. The 518 series also offers reverse airgap protection, which prevents reverse breakdown in the device, and overvoltage protection, which prevents the device from overheating.

The TVS 518 series has a fast response time, allowing it to react quickly to fast-rising transients. This is important for critical timing applications. The series also offers long-term reliability and is designed to last for years in most applications. The TVS 518 series is a reliable and cost-effective solution for transient voltage protection.
