Abstract
Silicon transient voltage suppressors (TVSs) are clamping devices that limit voltage spikes by low impedance avalanche breakdown of a rugged silicon PN junction. They are used to protect sensitive components from electrical overstress such as that caused by induces lightning, inductive load switching and electrostatic discharge. In this paper, we present static and dynamic characteristics of TVS diode using thermal analysis simulation software. And also, it is presented that the thermal dissipation characteristics of TVS diode in the transient state.
