Undoubtedly, Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) Diode is one of the most versatile components ever developed by the semiconductor industry. It provides basic but essential functions, such as protection against overvoltage or clamping of input and output currents. The MA5KP16AE3 is one of the latest TVS diodes developed by Vishay, a leading global manufacturer of discrete semiconductors.

MA5KP16AE3 is an high-speed, unidirectional 5KP 16A chip diode, with a maximum peak pulse power of 16,500 W (8/20μs). This component is fabricated in a state-of-art high voltage (HV) process for optimum performance, and optimized for low thermal resistance. It can be used in a wide variety of situations where a tight clamping and fast response is required.

MA5KP16AE3 provides superior Surge Current capability as well as load power capability which is ideal for EFT protection. It is designed to take even high transient voltage surges up to 25 kilovolts per microsecond (kV/μs) without any damage. The peak pulse power rating of 16.5kW at 8/20μs reduces assembly size and cost, and make the component suitable for most pulse applications.

The typical applications of the MA5KP16AE3 include replacing multiple diode and zener configurations, such as telecom filter board protection, high-frequency switch current protection, RF power amplifier protection, over-voltage protection, motor control, and automotive electronics. Furthermore, the MA5KP16AE3 is also suitable for use in general-purpose ESD protection.

The working principle of MA5KP16AE3 is simple. This device is created with an asymmetrical dopant profile structure to regulate the current between two electrodes. The device has an extremely high breakdown voltage, up to 2.7kV, which allows it to withstand over-voltage and manage the amount of current going through. When a transient voltage is applied, the number of carriers in the device increases and the current lowers. The MA5KP16AE3 will then stop the excess current to provide the desired protection.

Overall, the MA5KP16AE3 is an efficient and high-performance device that offers a comprehensive and reliable solution against overvoltage, ESD, and other voltage surge situations. Its versatile design and superior performance makes it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.
