TVS - Varistors, MOVs are widely used in industry as surge protective measures. The V230LS20CP is a Varistor that is designed for the purpose of surge protection, and, in this article, we shall discuss the application fields, working principle and characteristics of this device.

Application Fields

The V230LS20CP has been designed to be used on secondary side circuits for power indicator applications, modems, modems, audio applications, and telecommunication applications. Furthermore, it can be used on power circuits to protect against ESD events and to protect against UL 1449 surges. It is also used in automotive applications in systems that require ESD protection.

Working Principle

The V230LS20CP is a Zener-style varistor, which means that it is based on the principle of a Zener diode in which the voltage between the two terminals remains constant when a certain reverse bias voltage is applied. The Varistor works by providing a low breakdown voltage which causes the device to break down and provide a low impedance path to ground. This means that when a surge of current passes through the device, it will be diverted back to ground, protecting any other connected components.

Characteristics

The V230LS20CP has a low breakdown voltage of 15V, making it suitable for applications requiring low breakover conditions. It also has a low leakage current of 10 micro-amps and a matching impedance of 0.025 Ohms. Furthermore, it has fast response times to sudden changes in voltage, with a response time of less than 10 nanoseconds. In addition, the device also has a high capacitance of 1,200 picofarads, which is capable of effectively absorbing high-frequency energy.

In summary, the V230LS20CP Varistor is designed mainly for the purpose of providing surge protection against sudden voltage changes. It has a low breakdown voltage, a low leakage current, fast response times, and a matching impedance of 0.025 Ohms. Lastly, it also has a high capacitance of 1,200 picofarads which is capable of effectively absorbing high-frequency energy.
