Product Description

PolyZen Polymer Enhanced Zener Diode Micro-Assemblies

Product Overview
The Littelfuse PolyZen devices are polymer enhanced, precision Zener diode micro-assemblies designed to offer resettable protection against multi-Watt fault events without the need for external heat sinks. They feature a Zener diode with a stable voltage vs. current response for improved output voltage clamping, even under high input voltage and large diode currents. An advanced polymer PTC layer is integrated and thermally coupled to the Zener diode. This PTC layer transitions to a high resistance state ('trips') in response to extended diode heating or overcurrent events, limiting current and generating voltage drop to protect the Zener diode and downstream electronics. PolyZen devices are particularly suitable for protecting sensitive portable electronics and other low-power DC devices from inductive voltage spikes, voltage transients, incorrect power supplies, and reverse bias.

Key Benefits

  • Stable Zener diode shields downstream electronics from overvoltage and reverse bias.
  • Trip events effectively shut out overvoltage and reverse bias sources.
  • Analog nature of trip events minimizes upstream inductive spikes.
  • Minimal power dissipation requirements.
  • Single component placement for ease of integration.

Features

  • Overvoltage transient suppression.
  • Stable VZ vs. fault current.
  • Time-delayed, overvoltage trip.
  • Time-delayed, reverse bias trip.
  • Multi-Watt power handling capability.
  • Integrated device construction.
  • RoHS Compliant.

Target Applications

  • DC power port protection in portable electronics.
  • DC power port protection for systems using barrel jacks for power input.
  • Internal overvoltage & transient suppression.
  • DC output voltage regulation.

Definition of Terms

  • IPTC: Current flowing through the PTC portion of the circuit.
  • IFLT: RMS fault current flowing through the diode.
  • IOUT: Current flowing out the VOUT pin of the device.
