DESCRIPTION

This Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) series for 1N5555 thru 1N5558 are

JEDEC registered selections for unidirectional devices. All have the same high

Peak Pulse Power rating of 1500 W with extremely fast response times. They are

also available in military qualified selections as described in the Features section

herein. They are most often used for protecting against transients from inductive

switching environments, induced RF effects, or induced secondary lightning

effects as found in lower surge levels of IEC61000-4-5. They are also very

successful in protecting airborne avionics and electrical systems. Since their

response time is virtually instantaneous, they can also protect from ESD and EFT

per IEC61000-4-2 and IEC61000-4-4.

IMPORTANT: For the most current data, consult MICROSEMI’s website:

* TVS devices are not typically used for dc power dissipation and are instead operated at or less than their rated standoff voltage

(VWM) except for transients that briefly drive the device into avalanche breakdown (VBR to VC region).

NOTE 1: A TVS is normally selected according to the rated “Standoff Voltage” VWM that should be equal to or

greater than the dc or continuous peak operating voltage level.

NOTE 2: Also available in military qualified types with a JAN, JANTX, or JANTXV prefix.

SYMBOLS & DEFINITIONS

Symbol Definition

VWM Standoff Voltage: Applied Reverse Voltage to assure a nonconductive condition. (See Note 1

above.)

V(BR) Breakdown Voltage: This is the Breakdown Voltage the device will exhibit at 25oC

VC

Maximum Clamping Voltage: The maximum peak voltage appearing across the TVS when

subjected to the peak pulse current in a one millisecond time interval. The peak pulse voltage is the

combination of voltage rise due to both the series resistance and thermal rise and positive

temperature coefficient (αV(BR))

IPP Peak Pulse Current: The peak current during the impulse (See Figure 2)

PPP Peak Pulse Power: The pulse power as determined by the product of VC and IPP

ID Standby Current: The current at the standoff voltage (VWM)

I(BR) Breakdown Current: The current used for measuring Breakdown Voltage (V(BR))
