Varistor is a four-letter word and a type of diode, which stands for voltage-controlled resistor. Varistors are divided into two types, MOVs, or metal oxide varistors based on metal-oxide, and TVS or transient voltage suppressors. TVS are essentially surge protection devices that temporarily absorb or restrict electric shocks, surges, glitches, or even lightning strikes.

The V420LS20CP is a silicone-based TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) designed to be used in applications with high voltage and high surge current such as automotive electronics. It offers 20 amps of surge current protection and has a peak pulse power rating of 8,400 watts. This device has a wide operating temperature range, spanning from -55degrees Celsius to +175degrees Celsius.

The V420LS20CP\'s primary use is as an over-voltage protection circuit to protect sensitive electronic components against voltage transients and electrostatic discharges. It works by clamping or limiting the voltage spikes and suppressing the flow of excess current. When a voltage surge occurs in the circuit, the device\'s semiconductor bridge acts as a resistive barrier, preventing the surge from reaching other sensitive circuitry and components downstream.

The V420LS20CP also includes a built-in ESD protection feature which protects the attached electronics from electrostatic discharges, ensuring greater reliability in the system. It also offers an inherently high surge capability which allows it to protect the attached circuitry from both small and large surge current spikes.

The V420LS20CP is widely used in automotive electronics, telecommunication systems, consumer electronics, industrial control systems, medical equipment, and computer power supplies. It is generally used in circuits where high peak transient voltage needs to be suppressed over short periods of time, usually up to 1-2 milliseconds or less.

The V420LS20CP\'s working principle is simple and easy to understand. In normal operation, the TVS acts as a normal resistor and has very little effect on its associated circuit. When a surge or overvoltage occurs, the device has an immediate and very fast response to clamp and limit the voltage, thus protecting the attached circuitry. The device also has an inherently high surge capability to protect the circuit from multiple, small, and large current spikes.

In conclusion, V420LS20CP is a silicone-based TVS device that has a wide temperature range and can handle 20 amps of surge current. It is suitable for use in a variety of automotive and consumer electronics applications, as well as industrial control systems and medical equipment. With its ability to clamp and limit voltage spikes, as well as its built-in ESD protection feature, this device ensures greater reliability of the associated circuitry.
