TVS - Varistors, MOVs typically used in protecting electrical circuits from damage caused by transient overvoltage conditions such as electrostatic discharge (ESD), power line surges and electrical induced transients. VDRS20W300BSE is an example of such a type of device, and this article will discuss the application field and working principle of this device in detail.

Application field and Working Principle of VDRS20W300BSE

The VDRS20W300BSE is a 20 Watt Low Capacitance Surface Mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS). As its name suggests, it is intended to protect circuits from transient overvoltage conditions such as those caused by ESD, power line surges, and other electrical induced transients. It has a peak power rating of 20W, with a maximum allowable voltage of 300V.

The VDRS20W300BSE is mostly used in applications such as consumer electronics, intelligent appliances, communication equipment, industrial automation, automotive systems, and medical devices. Generally speaking, it can be used to protect sensitive circuits from any unexpected transient overvoltage conditions that could potentially cause damage to the circuit.

In terms of its working principle, the VDRS20W300BSE is a voltage-dependent Thyristor that works as a two-terminal, non-linear voltage-controlled switch. It includes an internal triggering voltage, which is designed to trip when the voltage across the device reaches a certain level. When triggered, it switches from a low resistance, off-state to a high resistance, on-state. This results in a high current across the device, which limits the amount of voltage that can be transferred across its terminals.

The device also works through the principle of avalanche breakdown, in which minority carriers are injected in the form of holes and electrons into the drift region when the device is biased in the forward direction. This injection of carriers creates free electron-hole pairs, which leads to a rapid increase in current. The increased current flow causes the voltage to drop across the device and the reverse current to rise. This decrease in voltage results in the device entering a "breakdown" state, which effectively limits the voltage across the device. As a result, the device is able to protect circuits from transient overvoltages.

In addition, the VDRS20W300BSE is designed to offer low capacitance, thereby reducing interference with signals. This feature makes it suitable for use in high-speed digital circuits, as it is able to protect sensitive components from transient overvoltages without creating too much interference.

Overall, the VDRS20W300BSE is an ideal solution for protecting electrical circuits from transient overvoltage conditions, such as ESD, power line surges, and other electrical induced transients. It is designed to offer low capacitance, which reduces interference with signals. Additionally, its mechanism of operation via avalanche breakdown effectively limits the voltage across its terminals, thus ensuring that the circuit is safely protected against any transient overvoltage conditions.
