V180ZT1

TVS (transient voltage suppressors) diodes, MOVs (metal oxide varistors) and V180ZT1 are important components used in various electrical and electronic applications. These components are used to protect systems and circuits from overvoltage and transient voltage conditions. In this article, we will discuss the application field and working principle of V180ZT1.

V180ZT1 is a high energy bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode. It is designed using advanced high power metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) technology. It is designed to provide transient suppression in low-to-medium voltage applications. V180ZT1 has an ESD capability of over 24kV and is capable of absorbing high-powered transients up to 6A.

V180ZT1 is widely used in many applications including military applications, automotive engine, power supplies, telecom and computer equipment, control systems, or other voltage protection circuits. It can provide circuit protection for electrostatic discharge (ESD) and EFT. V180ZT1 can be used in high ESD environments, high voltage system protection, high current load switching, and surge protection on power, data, and digital lines.

The working principle of V180ZT1 is simple and is based on the principle of “suppression”. In operation, the V180ZT1 is designed to be activated when a threshold voltage is exceeded by an incoming surge voltage. Once activated, the V180ZT1 triggers a fast turn-on of a parasitic MOS capacitor and then turns off once the surge has dissipated, returning it to a passive state.

The advantages of V180ZT1s include fast response time, low capacitance, no change in operating characteristics during multiple cycles, low leakage, and low external component count. The V180ZT1 also has a wide operating temperature range of -55º C to 150ºC. Additionally, V180ZT1s are designed to withstand high voltages, up to 32V reverse breakdown voltage, and extremely high current flow up to 6A.

Overall, V180ZT1 is an excellent choice for providing fast and reliable protection against voltage transients and surges. It is used in a wide range of applications and offers many advantages such as fast response time, low capacitance, low leakage, and wide operating temperatures. Additionally, the low external component count makes these components ideal for use in applications where board space is limited.
