Both tested components have been chosen in the same power and voltage 14V ranges in order to make an accurate comparison. Varistor vs TVS diode Clamping voltage is higher Degrade over time even when used within specification and become more conducting More effective at protecting circuits that requiring high capacitance Have greater tolerance for high energytemperatures used on high voltage environments eg power.

Tvs diode vs varistor. Varistor vs TVS diode Clamping voltage is higher Degrade over time even when used within specification and become more conducting More effective at protecting circuits that requiring high capacitance Have greater tolerance for high energytemperatures used on high voltage environments eg power. Selecting Protection Devices. Silicon diodes and metal-oxide Varistors are used to protect delicate circuit components from electrostatic discharge ESD or other transient events.
These guidelines can be used when comparing two devices TVS or MOV of the same technology. For a 120Vac line protection element comparing this TVS diode. The immediate differences I see are.
The varistor is marginally cheaper. The varistor specifies a maximum working voltage much much smaller than its clamp voltage. There seems to be no maximum working voltage on the diode only the breakdown voltage.
The resistance value of both chip varistors and TVS diodes changes greatly depending on the applied voltage. Chip varistors enable bi-directional electrostatic protection. TVS diodes used to be almost exclusively uni-directional but there are now an increasing number of bi-directional TVS diodes as well.
20 rows This Series is available in 40D 40mm and 53D 53mm single disc configuration. The ability to protect sensitive circuit parts from high transient voltages is the same function. Transil diode and Varistor measured on curve tracer.

On the other hand as shown in Fig2-6b a Zener diode clamps input voltage to a constant voltage and supplies clamped voltage to other semiconductor devices.
Thus a TVS diode absorbs surge voltage to protect other semiconductor devices whereas a Zener diode provides constant voltage to other semiconductor devices. There are many types of TVS device that can be used for Transient Voltage Suppression namely Metal Oxide Varistor TVS Diode Zener Diode or a Bypass Capacitor. Based on operation Transient Voltage Suppressors can be divided into two classes clamping and crowbar.
Clamping devices limit the voltage to a fixed level. In doing so they absorb the excess energy of the overvoltage. Varistor and TVS diodes in series.
In the picture below the input of the rectifier is 690VAC max so the DC output can reach up to 1kVDC. The DC output goes to a low power DCDC Converter. In the picture on the left Im using a single varistor for transient protection.
Der Kapazitätsbereich von Varistoren und TVS-Dioden unterscheidet sich erheblich. Da Chip-Varistoren eine Mehrschichtstruktur haben kann die Kapazität durch Erhöhung der Anzahl der internen Elektrodenschichten erhöht werden. A transient-voltage-suppression diode can respond to over-voltages faster than other common over-voltage protection components such as varistors or gas discharge tubes GDT.
The actual clamping occurs in roughly one picosecond but in a practical circuit the inductance of the wires leading to the device imposes a higher limit. This makes transient-voltage-suppression diodes useful for protection. The varistor degradation means you next consult the numbers.
Charts relate number of transients and size of those transients to life expectancy. TVS diodes will not degrade BUT will also provide much less transient conduction. Both devices must include safety provision for that unacceptable and catastrophic failure.
Clamping ratios for TVS diodes are significantly lower than Metal Oxide Varistors MOV. What is the deference between TVS diode and Zener Diode. Zener vs TVS Diode Avalanche Breakdown Diode.
Zener diodes were the first offered for those applications requiring a shunt parallel voltage regulator. Download Citation Selecting protection devices. Metal-oxide varistors Silicon diodes and metal-oxide varistors MOV are used to protect delicate circuit components from.
