Electric field protection devices, such as Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) diodes, are commonly used to protect electronic circuits from overvoltage transients, and are a critical part of many modern electronic systems. The MAP5KE60A is a unidirectional high surge 5.0 kW TVS diode that offers reliable protection for a broad range of applications. This article will discuss its application field and working principle.

Application Field

The MAP5KE60A TVS diode has a wide range of application, such as high-end telecommunications equipment, base stations, CATV/satellite equipment, servers, and other high-power communication systems. This TVS diode is suitable for use in a range of digital and analog circuits as it has high surge capability. It is also very effective in lightning protection applications, since it can absorb up to 5kW in a 10/1000µs pulse and is capable of clamping above 24A (Ipp), HBM.

Working Principle

The MAP5KE60A TVS diode protects circuits by clamping down overvoltage transients. When the diode is placed in a reverse biased configuration and there is an overvoltage transient, the avalanche breakdown of the diode occurs and the excess current is diverted away from the circuit it is protecting. This reduces the voltage in the protected circuit to a safe level and limits the overvoltage. The diode is constructed of a PN junction in a reverse biased arrangement.

The junction is designed to provide a fast and effective response to an overvoltage event, by quickly and efficiently clamping down the excess voltage and providing protection to the circuit it is protecting. This is possible due to the high breakdown voltage of the diode and its low on resistance. The diode has a low forward voltage (Vf) ensuring low conduction loss at normal operation. Additionally, the diode can handle up to 5.0kW of transient power in a 10/1000µs pulse.

Conclusion

The MAP5KE60A is a unidirectional high surge 5.0 kW TVS diode that offers reliable protection for a wide range of applications. It is suitable for use in a range of digital and analog circuits as it has high surge capability and can absorb up to 5kW in a 10/1000µs pulse. Additionally, the diode has a low forward voltage (Vf) ensuring low conduction loss at normal operation and is capable of clamping above 24A (Ipp), HBM.
