MALCE10A

The MALC10A is a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode that protects sensitive equipment from electrical transients and overvoltage. It has an internal silicon junction protection diode and an active parasitic suppression structure. The MALC10A is designed to absorb transient overvoltages of 1kV or less. It has a peak pulse current rating of 600A and a peak power rating of 200W. It is ideal for use in automotive, computer, and telecommunications applications.

The MALC10A is a bidirectional TVS diode, meaning it will protect against transients entering or leaving a circuit. The diode has a low capacitance of 10pF, so it is able to provide transient protection without significantly slowing signal speeds. It also has a fast response time of 0.5ns, ensuring the maxim protection is provided. The diode has a low forward voltage of 1.25V and can withstand surge voltages up to 40V.

The MALC10A is constructed using two integrated circuits; one for overvoltage protection and one for parasitic suppression. The protection IC absorbs the surge energy and dissipates it as heat. The parasitic suppressor IC reduces the rate of rise of overvoltage pulse and the peak voltage. This further protects the equipment against electrical transients.

In conclusion, the MALC10A TVS diode provides reliable and effective protection for sensitive equipment from transient overvoltages and other electrical transients. It has a low capacitance and fast response time, and can withstand a surge voltage of 40V. With its two integrated ICs, it provides both overvoltage protection and parasitic suppression, ensuring maximum protection for the equipment.
