V14P23P

The V14P23P is a bidirectional, high-temperature thermally protected varistor device designed to provide two levels of transient overvoltage protection. This device has a user-selectable breakover voltage of 14 V and 23 V and is designed to absorb higher energy than a traditional Varistor. It has high current handling capability with low operating and clamping voltage. The device is compatible with multiple applications, operating in temperatures from -40C to 130C.

The V14P23P can be used in applications such as automotive, consumer electronics, power supplies, communications, and industrial. It is designed to protect circuits from electrostatic discharge and other fast transients or surges. The device may also be used as a low-voltage protection circuit, ensuring circuit reliability and robustness in a variety of high-voltage scenarios. The simple two-state design of the V14P23P, combined with its physical robustness and programmable breakover voltage, make it perfect for use in devices that require pulse protection and power cycling functionality.

The V14P23P is designed to work by first determining the direction of the transient surge. Once the direction is established, the device\'s P-N junction structure will automatically be configured accordingly. If the surge is a positive transient, the device will direct the surge to ground. If the surge is a negative transient, the device will provide a reverse voltage protection. The V14P23P is a high energy device, capable of handling up to 600 V of continuous on-state voltage. This makes it suitable for a wide range of applications from consumer electronics to high power switching power supplies.

Once the transient event has been controlled, the device will need to be reset in order to become operational again. This is done by applying a reset voltage, usually around 5 V. The V14P23P is designed to be self-resetting. The device automatically shuts off the voltage and begins resetting itself if it exceeds the maximum on-state voltage rating. This prevents the device from being damaged due to excessive voltage.

The V14P23P is designed with a number of features that protect the device from over-current, over-voltage, over-temperature, and electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. The P-N junction structure of the V14P23P protects it from reverse voltages, while the internal ESD protection mechanism prevents the device from being damaged by static electricity. Additionally, the device can be used in a variety of temperatures and is thermally protected to ensure that it does not get damaged from excessive heat.

The V14P23P varistor device is an ideal solution for protecting circuits from transient overvoltage surges due to its wide range of features, high current handling capability, low operating and clamping voltage, and small size. Its programmable breakover voltage also makes it suitable for use in a variety of applications. The device is designed to be self-resetting and includes a number of protective features, making it a reliable and robust solution for protecting circuits from transient overvoltage surges.
