TPS259824OEVM: Use TVS0500 instead of SMCJ TVS diode

Part Number: TPS259824OEVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS25982, TVS0500

In this EVM, include TPS25982's design calculator, the recommended input voltage clamp diode is SMCJxx, as TI has its own TVS diode, such as TVS0500, etc. May I use them? Thanks.

  • Hi ,

    Yes you can use. Just make sure that TVS breakdown voltage is greater than max input voltage in your application. Its clamp voltage is less than abs max input voltage of efuse. Its peak current is greater than fasttrip threshold you will set.
