TVS – Diodes are components in electrical systems that are designed to protect other electrical components from damage due to over-voltage, over-current, and ESD, otherwise known as Electrostatic Discharge. MAP5KE160AE3 is one such component. It is a rail-to-rail bi-directional diode that can protect up to 16V and are rated to protect circuits up to 20V.

When operating normally, the MAP5KE160AE3 works as a regular diode, allowing current to pass in one direction only. When a surge is experienced, the diode switches to the clamping state, where it quickly draws current away from the circuit and limits the voltage to a low, safe level. This state works by being between a Zener diode and a Shuntdiometer. This provides the protection, while also having a low forward voltage allowing for a large voltage range. Additionally, the clamping state supports extremely fast response and low clamping voltage, as well as very low leakage current. The MAP5KE160AE3 also works in the bi-directional state, where it can protect a circuit from both over-voltage and under-voltage.

The MAP5KE160AE3 is ideal for circuit protection due to its low capacitance levels, as well as its flow through design, meaning it can be easily integrated into circuit boards. It is also very compact in size, further contributing to its integration into circuit boards. The MAP5KE160AE3 can also be used for over-voltage, over-current, and ESD protection applications in industrial, automotive, and consumer applications. Examples of such applications would be power supplies, power transmission, medical electronic devices, and consumer electronics.

In summary, MAP5KE160AE3 is a rail-to-rail bi-directional diode that provides circuit protection from over-voltage, over-current, and ESD. The diode works by a combination of Zener diode and Shuntdiodertechnologies, and is able to protect a circuit from both over-voltage and under-voltage. The MAP5KE160AE3 is very low capacitance and comes in a small, flow through design making it ideal for integration into circuit boards. The component is suited for use in industrial, automotive, and consumer applications where over-voltage, over-current, and ESD protection is needed.
