It is particularly suitable for use in medical electronics, automation, industrial and other high-performance circuits. It is also suitable for use in computer peripherals, LCD displays and other high-frequency applications.The MAPLAD15KP75CAE3 is designed for latch-up protection, which means that the device will be able to protect a connected system from over-voltage transients. It also provides over-voltage protection, which helps to prevent damage from power supply fluctuations. The device also has surge clamp protection, which helps to prevent ESD from impacting the connected system.The MAPLAD15KP75CAE3 device has an operating temperature range of -40 to +125C, allowing it to be used in a wide range of applications. The device is also RoHS-compliant, which makes it suitable for lead-free applications.

Working Principle

The MAPLAD15KP75CAE3 is a type of TVS diode which operates on the principle of avalanche breakdown. This means that when the voltage applied to the device exceeds a certain level, an avalanche of electrons is generated, resulting in a bulky current being diverted away from the connected components. This helps to reduce the damage caused by ESD, and short spikes in voltage.The MAPLAD15KP75CAE3 is designed to have an incredibly fast response time, meaning that it can divert current away from components within a few nanoseconds. The device also has a low profile package size, making it suitable for use in a wide range of applications and designs. The device has an extremely low leakage current, meaning that it will not affect the performance of the connected system.The MAPLAD15KP75CAE3 is designed to have a maximum clamping voltage of 7.5V, and a maximum peak pulse current of 15kA. This ensures that the device will be able to effectively protect connected equipment from damaging voltage overshoots and ESD.
