NOTE: This P

versus time graph allows the designer to use
these parts over a broad power spectrum using the guidelines
illustrated in App Note 104 on Microsemi’s website. Aircraft
transients are described with exponential decaying waveforms.
For suppression of square-wave impulses, derate power and
current to 66% of that for exponential decay as shown in Figure 1.

INSTALLATION
TVS devices used across power lines are
subject to relatively high magnitude surge
currents and are more prone to adverse
parasitic inductance effects in the mounting
leads. Minimizing the shunt path of the lead
inductance and their V= -Ldi/dt effects will
optimize the TVS effectiveness. Examples
of optimum installation and poor installation
are illustrated in figures 3 through figure 6.
Figure 3 illustrates minimal parasitic
inductance with attachment at end of device.
Inductive voltage drop is across input leads.
Virtually no “overshoot” voltage results as
illustrated with figure 4.
The loss of
effectiveness in protection caused by
excessive parasitic inductance is illustrated
in figures 5 and 6. Also see MicroNote 111
for further information on “Parasitic Lead
Inductance in TVS”.
