LCE6.5 thru LCE170A, e3
1500 WATT LOW CAPACITANCE
TRANSIENT VOLTAGE SUPPRESSOR
SCOTTSDALE DIVISION
DESCRIPTION
This Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) product family includes a rectifier
diode element in series and opposite direction to achieve low capacitance
performance below 100 pF (see Figure 2). The low level of TVS capacitance
may be used for protecting higher frequency applications in inductive
switching environments or electrical systems involving secondary lightning
effects per IEC61000-4-5 as well as RTCA/DO-160D or ARINC 429 for
airborne avionics. With virtually instantaneous response, they also protect
from ESD and EFT per IEC61000-4-2 and IEC61000-4-4. If bipolar transient
capability is required, two of these low capacitance TVS devices may be used
in parallel in opposite directions (anti
-
parallel) for complete ac protection as
shown in Figure 4.

TVS devices are not typically used for dc power dissipation and are instead operated < V
WM
(rated standoff voltage) except for transients that briefly
drive the device into avalanche breakdown (V
BR
to V
C
region) of the TVS element. Also see Figures 3 and 4 for further protection details in rated peak
pulse power for unidirectional and bidirectional configurations respectively.

TVS are normally selected according to the reverse “Standoff Voltage” (V

) that should be equal to or greater than the dc or continuous
peak operating voltage level.

SCHEMATIC APPLICATIONS
The TVS low capacitance device configuration is shown in Figure 2. As a further option for unidirectional applications, an additional low
capacitance rectifier diode may be used in parallel in the same polarity direction as the TVS as shown in Figure 3. In applications where random
high voltage transients occur, this will prevent reverse transients from damaging the internal low capacitance rectifier diode and also provide a
low voltage conducting direction. The added rectifier diode should be of similar low capacitance and also have a higher reverse voltage rating
than the TVS clamping voltage V
C
. The Microsemi recommended rectifier part number is the “ELCR80” for the application in Figure 5. If using
two (2) low capacitance TVS devices in anti-parallel for bidirectional applications, this added protective feature for both directions (including the
reverse of each rectifier diode) is also provided. The unidirectional and bidirectional configurations in Figure 3 and 4 will both result in twice the
capacitance of Figure 2.
