TVS - Diodes provide overvoltage protection to a variety of equipment that is connected to both AC and DC power supplies. The UPT15R/TR13 is a silicon-controlled rectifier with a maximum reverse breakdown voltage rating of 15 volts. It is designed to protect against current-induced overvoltage transients in both AC and DC circuits. The UPT15R/TR13 is commonly used in automotive, telecom, industrial, and medical applications.

The UPT15R/TR13 is a robust, voltage-dependent, low-capacitance, three-terminal hybrid diode designed to protect sensitive components from damage due to overvoltage transients. The device is equipped with a high surge capability, a low forward voltage drop, and zero reverse recovery time. It also features a low clamping voltage to protect downstream components and a low dynamic impedance for reliable overvoltage protection.

When an overvoltage occurs, the UPT15R/TR13 quickly responds by clamping the voltage to safe values. It works by having the two cathode terminals act as a Zener diode, allowing a current surge to flow from the anode to the cathode when the device is exposed to overvoltage. This is known as the "avalanche" breakdown mechanism, which reduces the overvoltage by clamping the voltage across the device.

In normal operation, the UPT15R/TR13 acts as an electronic switch, allowing current to pass in one direction and blocking it in the other. When the circuit is exposed to an overvoltage, the device quickly turns off, blocking the current. This prevents it from entering other components that may be sensitive to a high voltage.

In automotive, telecom, industrial, and medical applications, the UPT15R/TR13 is used to protect against voltage transients caused by EMI/RFI, lightning, power swings, surges, and other unpredictable events. It is placed in series with the power leads of the sensitive components to protect those components from overvoltage damage. In addition, it can also be placed in parallel with the power lines to reduce the voltage prior to it entering the sensitive components.

The UPT15R/TR13 is a versatile device that can be used in a variety of applications. It is also reliable and cost-effective. Its high surge capability, low forward voltage drop, and zero reverse recovery time make it an ideal choice for overvoltage protection. Its low clamping voltage and low dynamic impedance ensure full protection while still maintaining low power consumption.
