摘要: A bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) protection circuit includes two sets of steering diodes, a clamp circuit including an MOS transistor integrated with a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) and a trigger circuit. In response to a voltage applied to one of the protected nodes exceeding a first voltage level, the trigger circuit drives the MOS transistor to cause a current flow at the SCR to trigger an SCR action and the SCR clamps the voltage at the respective protected node at a clamping voltage. In other embodiments, a bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) protection circuit includes two sets of steering diodes with a clamp device merged with a steering diode in each set. In some embodiments, the TVS protection circuit realizes low capacitance at the protected nodes by fully or almost completely depleting the P-N junction connected to the protected nodes in the operating voltage range.

摘要: A power semiconductor component for voltage limiting includes a rear-side base zone electrically contacted with a rear-side electrode and a front-side base zone electrically contacted with a front-side electrode. At least one switch-on structure is embedded at least into one of the rear-side base zone and the front-side base zone and is electrically contacted by the electrode contacting the embedding base zone. At least one triggering structure is provided as a breakdown structure of a first type, present between the front-side and rear-side electrodes. At least one further triggering structure is provided as a breakdown structure of a second type, present between the front-side and rear-side electrodes. The front-side and rear-side electrodes are each electrically conductively pressure-contacted by an electrically conductive contact plate at least one of which functions as a heat sink for dissipating heat generated in the semiconductor body.
