SMCJ22CE3/TR13 - Microchip Technology

The SMCJ22CE3/TR13 is a robust transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode designed and manufactured by Microchip Technology, a leading provider of smart, connected, and secure embedded control solutions. This TVS diode is specifically engineered to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by system-level events such as load dump, lightning, and electrostatic discharge (ESD).

With its stand-off voltage of 22V, the SMCJ22CE3/TR13 is suitable for a wide range of applications where voltage regulation and suppression are critical. It is packaged in a DO-214AB (SMC) package, which provides a compact footprint while offering high surge capabilities. The "E3" suffix denotes the lead-free, RoHS-compliant version, and the "TR13" indicates that the device is provided in tape and reel packaging, with 13-inch reel size, facilitating automated pick-and-place manufacturing processes.

Key features of the SMCJ22CE3/TR13 include:

• Peak Pulse Power Dissipation: 1500W at 10/1000μs waveform, which helps to protect sensitive components from high energy transients.
• Maximum Clamping Voltage: 35.5V at 42.1A, ensuring that voltage spikes are clamped at a safe level for the connected circuitry.
• Low incremental surge resistance, offering improved performance in surge protection and a lower voltage overshoot during transient events.
• Operating Junction Temperature: -55°C to +150°C, making the device suitable for use in harsh environments.
• ISO 7637-2 & ISO 16750-2 compliant, demonstrating its reliability in automotive load dump protection applications.

Applications for the SMCJ22CE3/TR13 span across various sectors including automotive, industrial, consumer electronics, and telecommunications. Its ability to safeguard against overvoltage transients makes it an essential component in the protection of voltage-sensitive ICs, such as microprocessors, USB interfaces, and other delicate electronic systems.
