Application Notes

Designing green and sustainable technologies requires electronic products with a longer life span. Also robust protection against transient power surges, like lightning strikes on the power grid is essential, as one single transient event could potentially destroy sensitive components and compromise your entire system.
Engineered for fast response and maximum reliability, Diotec TVS diodes protect your electronics against hazardous voltage spikes and ensure reliable long-term performance, even in the harshest environments.
Our portfolio is covering a broad range of TVS diodes for nearly every application, from low‑voltage to ultra‑high‑voltage requirements. Discover the ideal TVS diode for your next project in our latest application note.

Designers of Smart Meter, LED Street Lamps, 4G/5G Base Stations, EV Charging Systems and similar applications often face the issue of over-voltage transients, since all these devices are connected directly to the land line which is highly affected by lightning strikes. They are affecting the reliability and lifetime of these products, so the use of rectifier diodes with extra high safety margin against transient surges is mandatory.

The SM3000 by Diotec is especially developed for these applications. It offers an impressive reverse voltage of 3000V, an average forward current of 1A and comes in a single SMD Melf package. Due to the large clearance and creepage of this outline it can replace the usual series connections, which are still common for input rectification at the above applications.

All kind of EV charging stations can be easily realized by using cost-effective, widely available discrete power components. At low power systems they can be used to build the entire power stage, while at high power charging stations they are mainly used for auxiliary functions and controls.

Our latest flyer introduces a broad range of discrete power semiconductors from Bridge Rectifiers over Fast Efficient Diodes andMOSFETs to Schottky Rectifiers. It further includes state-of-the-art components used for control and protection purposes. They allow design engineers to develop cost-effective and energy-efficient solutions for any EV charging system.

Discrete power components are state-of-the-art in various applications. They offer cost-effective, robust, easy to assemble and reliable solutions for many kinds of power circuits. Diotec’s product portfolio includes Standard, Fast, Superfast Efficient and Schottky Barrier Rectifiers. Single and dual diodes are available in both TO-220AC (2 pin) and AB (3 pin) packages and also in 2 pin and 3 pin D²PAK outlines (TO-263AA & AB).

Our proprietary Protectifiers® in TO-220 offer low forward voltage drop at high reverse robustness – protected rectifiers indeed!
