The TVS305‑TVS430 series from Microsemi provides oxide‑passivated, hermetically sealed transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diodes designed to protect microprocessor, MOS, CMOS, TTL, ECL, and linear ICs from voltage spikes. The series offers up to 500 W pulse power capability and a miniature glass‑encased package.
The document lists electrical and mechanical specifications, including stand‑off voltage, breakdown voltage, peak pulse power, and operating temperature, and explains how to choose the proper TVS based on pulse power, stand‑off voltage, and maximum clamping voltage.
| Stand‑off Voltage (V) | 5.0 V (TVS305) |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage (BV min) | 6.0 V (TVS305) |
| Peak Pulse Power | 150 W (5‑300 V range) |
| Operating Temperature | ‑65 °C to +176 °C |
| Package Type | Miniature glass‑encased hermetically sealed |
It is the highest reverse voltage at which the TVS will be non‑conducting.
Pulse power, stand‑off voltage, and maximum clamping voltage.
From –65 °C to +176 °C.
