TVS diodes, also known as Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) diodes, are surge suppressor components which protect connected circuits from voltage spikes. They are commonly used to protect electronic systems from overvoltage, even in applications that experience extreme transient voltage events. One of the popular TVS diodes is VTVS52GSMF-HM3-18, which is explained here.

The VTVS52GSMF-HM3-18 molds thermally protected TVS diodes specifically designed for different types of automakers, appliances, nuclear power plant controllers, and healthcare equipment. This product is suitable for a broad range of automobile electronics, such as surge protection in the charging system and high-current distribution.

The VTVS52GSMF-HM3-18 can be applied to all types of automotive supplies, such as emergency equipment, vehicle lighting, airbag systems, power steering systems, brakes, and engine control systems. This device can also be used in modern advanced automobiles use advanced electronic components, as well as DC-DC converters in the motor drive system, the high-voltage battery control system, and the charger. The core device in these systems is a TVS diode with overvoltage protection.

The VTVS52GSMF-HM3-18 is designed to provide improved electrical performance in automotive applications, and is also used to protect sensitive electronic components in appliances, healthcare equipment, controllers, and more.

VTVS52GSMF-HM3-18 Working Principle

A TVS diode is designed to protect connected circuits from voltage transients and spikes. It is a voltage-dependent semiconductor device “clamps” the voltage during an overvoltage event, providing protection to connected circuits. The VTVS52GSMF-HM3-18 provides similar protection, but also offers a thermal protection feature.

The primary components of any TVS diode are the diode itself and a resistor network that connects the anode and cathode of the diode. When a transient voltage is applied to the diode, it will conduct current and clamp the voltage level at the resistance value of the resistor network. The resistor network is designed to reduce the voltage to a safe level, protecting connected components from damage. The VTVS52GSMF-HM3-18 takes this concept and adds a thermal protection feature.

The thermal protection feature of the VTVS52GSMF-HM3-18 provides added protection for connected circuits. This device is designed with a temperature sensing resistor that turns off the diode when the temperature of the device reaches a certain value. This prevents the diode from overheating by cutting off power to the device until it cools down. This prevents the device from becoming damaged while still providing overvoltage protection.
