TVS diode delivers robust transient protection through excellent clamping characteristics
The Littelfuse TPSMB TVS diode series provides excellent clamping capability to limit transient voltages, protecting sensitive electronics from load dump and other transient voltage events in harsh electrical environments.
The TPSMB series protects sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients in automotive applications, including lightning strikes, load dump, and other transient voltage events. The TVS diode range is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for 600W peak pulse power at 10/1000µs waveform on a 0.01% duty cycle.
Typically responding to transient voltage events within 1ns, the TPSMB TVS diodes maintain a stable clamping voltage in high power pulses due to low incremental surge resistance.
By limiting peak transient voltages more tightly during surge events, the diodes reduce electrical stress on downstream components such as microcontrollers, sensors, and power management ICs.
The series includes unidirectional, bidirectional, and asymmetric TVS diodes, enabling tailored protection for specific positive and negative transient requirements while optimising PCB space and component count.
