I. Varistors: The Critical Barrier for Circuit Protection
1. Core Principles and Advantages of Varistors
A varistor is a semiconductor ceramic component with voltage-nonlinear characteristics, whose resistance value changes drastically with the voltage across its terminals. When a transient overvoltage (such as lightning surges or switching transients) occurs in the circuit, the varistor can rapidly reduce its impedance within nanoseconds, clamping the overvoltage within a safe range to protect downstream precision components from damage. Compared with traditional protective devices, varistors offer the following core advantages:
Fast response speed: Response time can reach the order of 10^-9 seconds, effectively intercepting high-frequency transient interference;
High surge current capability: Can withstand surge currents ranging from several amperes to tens of kiloamperes;
High non-linear coefficient: Extremely low leakage current (μA level) at rated voltage, with minimal power loss;
Cost-effective: A single component can achieve multi-stage protection, simplifying circuit design.
2. Core Application Scenarios of Varistors
SIC's varistors are widely used in the following fields:
Consumer electronics: Power interfaces and USB ports protection for smartphones and smart home devices;
Industrial control: Surge protection for power circuits of PLC controllers and frequency converters;
New energy systems: Overvoltage protection for photovoltaic inverters and energy storage batteries;
Automotive electronics: EMC protection for on-board chargers (OBC) and ADAS systems;
Medical equipment: Power filtering and protection for precision instruments such as MRI and patient monitors.
