Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diodes are semiconductor devices designed to protect electronic circuits from voltage spikes and transients, such as those induced by lightning strikes, electrostatic discharge (ESD), and other sudden voltage events. They work by clamping voltage spikes to a safe level that the circuit can withstand, thereby preventing damage to sensitive components.
TVS diodes are available in unidirectional and bidirectional configurations, with the choice depending on the nature of the application. Unidirectional TVS diodes provide protection in one direction and are typically used in DC circuits, while bidirectional diodes can protect in both directions and are suitable for AC circuits or where the polarity of the voltage transients is unpredictable.
When selecting a TVS diode, engineers should consider the breakdown voltage, peak pulse power, clamping voltage, and other key parameters to ensure adequate protection for their specific application. The package type and size are also important considerations, especially for space-constrained designs.
TVS diodes are commonly used in a wide range of applications, including portable electronics, automotive systems, industrial controls, and power supplies, to enhance the reliability and durability of electronic devices by safeguarding them against voltage transients.
