A transient-voltage-suppression (TVS) diode, also transil, transorb or thyrector, is an electronic component used to protect electronics from voltage spikes induced on connected wires. [1]

A Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) Diode is a specialized solid-state PN-junction diode engineered to protect sensitive semiconductor components and circuits from sudden or momentary overvoltage conditions.

2019年5月24日 · Transient voltage suppressor diodes are very popular devices used to instantaneously clamp transient voltages (e.g., ESD events) to safe levels before they can damage a circuit.

2019年8月2日 · But there is yet another type of special diode known as the TVS Diode which plays a vital role in dealing with transient spikes in power electronics design circuits. In this article, we will look more into Transient voltage suppressors and why it is needed your circuit.

TVS diodes protect USB-C Vbus lines, ADC I/O Lines, and more. Bring TI's benefits without changing your layout with growing offerings in common packages like SOD-323.

TVS Diodes are a semiconductor device designed to limit or stop surges in a specific voltage level. The items in this family are designed using diodes (a component that conducts in just one direction). TVS is an acronym for Transient Voltage Suppression (Suppressor).

2024年4月2日 · What is a TVS diode? They are designed to protect electronic circuits from transients and overvoltage threats such as EFT (electrically fast transients), ESD (electro-static discharge), inductive load switching, and even lightning strikes. They are silicon avalanche devices with fast response time, low capacitance, low leakage current, and low ...

Transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diodes defend against damage from overvoltage events by responding within picoseconds to shunt current to ground. The classic example of TVS diode use is protecting outdoor telecom equipment from lightning strikes.

TVS diodes or transient voltage suppressors are components that protect sensitive electronics from harmful and potentially dangerous spikes in voltage. These semiconductor devices are meticulously engineered to preserve delicate electronics during sudden overvoltage.

2023年8月29日 · TVS diodes are used in ICs (integrated circuits) to protect against overvoltage and the effects of arcs, EFT (Electrical Fast Transients), ESD (Electrostatic Discharge), inductive load switching, and even lightning strikes.
