MXSMCJLCE9.0AE3/TR Circuit Protection

TVS - Diodes

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diodes are widely used in a variety of product applications. The primary purpose of TVS diodes is to protect against high-voltage transient events, such as lightning, electrostatic discharge (ESD), and power line disturbances. TVS diodes are designed to protect vulnerable components from being exposed to too much voltage or current. When the current or voltage exceeds a certain threshold, the diode will conduct current, which will absorb and/or dissipate the energy associated with transient events.

MXSMCJLCE9.0AE3/TR Application Field and Working Principle

The MXSMCJLCE9.0AE3/TR is a Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) diode, which provides ESD protection for sensitive electronic components and systems. The diode is specifically designed for automotive applications such as CAN Bus (controller area network), airbag and chassis controllers, antilock brake systems, airbag ECUs (electronic control units), and power line filters. The design of the MXSMCJLCE9.0AE3/TR consists of a PN junction diode, which is used to absorb and/or dissipate the energy associated with transient events such as electrostatic discharges, lightning, and power line disturbances.

The MXSMCJLCE9.0AE3/TR is an unidirectional diode that can withstand up to 20 kilovolts in reverse polarity and 10 kilovolts in forward polarity without breakdown. The device is designed with low capacitance and high peak current to protect against ESD events that could damage sensitive components. The low capacitance feature eliminates noise interference, reducing the number of false triggers. The diode also has a high peak pulse current rating, which improves its ability to protect against high current transients.

When the MXSMCJLCE9.0AE3/TR is subjected to high voltage or current transients, the PN junction diode will conduct current, which can absorb and/or dissipate the energy associated with the transient event. The voltage and current associated with the transient event will then be reduced to a level that is safe for electronic components and systems. Once the transient event has passed, the diode will return to its normal conductive state, allowing the system to return to its normal operation.

The MXSMCJLCE9.0AE3/TR is an ideal choice for automotive applications due to its superior performance characteristics. It has a wide operating temperature range, making it compatible with a variety of automotive environments, and it is designed with high reliability in mind. Due to its robust design, the diode can be used in applications requiring high levels of protection.
