SMCJ160CA Classification

TVS - Diodes

TVS - Diodes are electronic components designed to protect circuits from transient overvoltage damage. They protect other sensitive components in the circuit from damage by quickly switching on and directing excess transient voltage to ground or power supply. TVS diodes are typically constructed of PN junction or metal oxide semiconductor structures with extremely fast response times and low clamping voltage characteristics. Its design principle is based on the avalanche breakdown effect, that is, when a specific voltage threshold is reached, the diode will rapidly change from a high resistance state to a low resistance state, limiting the transient voltage to a safe level. TVS diodes are used in a wide variety of electronic devices, especially those that need to protect critical circuits from lightning strikes, electrostatic discharges, or other transient voltage events.

FAQ about TVS - Diodes

  • 1. TVS is the abbreviation of diode. What does it mean?

    TVS is the abbreviation of Transient Voltage Suppressor, also known as Transient Voltage Suppression Diode.
    How TVS diodes work
    TVS diodes work using the avalanche breakdown effect. When the TVS diode receives a reverse voltage, the depletion layer near its PN junction will increase, causing the electric field intensity to increase, which in turn triggers the avalanche effect and causes the reverse current to increase sharply. Unlike ordinary diodes, TVS diodes can recover after avalanche breakdown and continue to work normally.

  • 2. Are TVS diodes and Zener diodes the same?

    TVS diodes and Zener diodes have significant differences in functionality and characteristics, so they are not identical.
    Definition and purpose
    Zener diode: Zener diode is a diode that uses a PN junction for reverse breakdown. It is mainly used to ensure voltage stability. It has a high resistance state before the reverse breakdown voltage and is in a low resistance state after exceeding this critical point. It is widely used in various voltage stabilizing circuits and reference voltage components.
    TVS Diode: TVS diode (Transient Suppression Diode) has surge absorption capability and is mainly used to protect circuits from damage caused by transient high voltages such as surges and electrostatic discharge (ESD). It can absorb a large amount of instantaneous current and voltage in a short period of time, protecting the subsequent equipment or circuits from damage.

  • 3. How fast are TVS diodes?

    TVS diodes are very fast and can respond within 10^-12 seconds (i.e. 1 nanosecond). When the two poles of the TVS diode are impacted by reverse transient high energy, it can change the high impedance between its two poles into low impedance in a very short time, while absorbing surge power up to several kilowatts, reducing the voltage between the two poles. It is clamped to a predetermined safe value, thereby effectively protecting precision components in electronic circuits from damage by various surge pulses.
    This fast response characteristic of TVS diodes allows them to play an important role in various electronic systems, especially where precision electronic components need to be protected from transient voltage impacts. For example, in the fields of computer systems, communication equipment, automotive electronics, household appliances, etc., TVS diodes are widely used to protect circuits from electrostatic discharge, surge voltage, and electromagnetic interference.
