V150LXR100

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressors) are specialized types of lightening arresters that, as the name suggests, protect electronic power supplies from overvoltage spikes caused by lightning, inductive transients, electrostatic discharges or circuit switching operations. The TVS diode is similar to a rectifier diode, but has superior design features such as a higher surge current rating, lower inductance and reverse breakdown voltage in order to arrest high voltage transients. Varistors, MOVs (Metal Oxide Varistors) or Zener diodes are used in similar situations, but their designs have different response times and energy absorption levels. The V150LXR100 is a surface mount device designed to provide transient voltage suppression in a variety of applications.

The V150LXR100 application field includes automotive, commercial and residential systems, as well as power supplies for consumer electronics and computer systems. It is suitable for use in automotive and audio/visual systems that are rated 150VDC or less and potentially exposed to high voltage transients. It is also a suitable choice for LCD displays, cellular phones, and other mobile devices. The device is designed for use in high temperature environments and is capable of operating up to 150°C.

The working principle of the V150LXR100 is based on its inherent voltage dependent nonlinear characteristics. The device consists of two series semiconductor layers connected anti-parallel and connected in between a metal oxide layer. When an incoming transient exceeds the reverse breakdown voltage of the device, it turns on and shunts the transient away from the power supply, thus absorbing the transient energy and protecting the power supply from damage. Once the transient passes, the device turns off and returns to its normal, low resistance state.

The V150LXR100 is designed to operate at a voltage range of 12 to 150 volts and with a peak power dissipation of 150 watts. It has an incredibly low leakage current of <0.5uA, and a reverse-breakdown voltage of 100V. It also features excellent thermal stability, high surge capacity and fast response to transient events. It is capable of handling both unidirectional and bidirectional voltage and current. Additionally, it meets AEC Q200 requirements for automotive applications.

In conclusion, the V150LXR100 is a reliable, durable TVS device designed for a variety of applications. It is capable of withstanding high temperature environments, while offering superior protection from voltage spikes. It is suitable for automotive, audio/visual, cellular, and other systems that are potentially exposed to high voltages transients, and is also AEC Q200 compliant. The device offers an incredibly low leakage current, fast response time, and excellent thermal stability, making it an excellent choice for any application.
