TVS - Diodes

Transient voltage suppressors (TVS) are devices available in the form of diodes designed to offer surge protection when subjected to excessively high voltage. To achieve this, TVS diodes are usually made from silicon and are designed to absorb the transient surge current until it falls too low for the device to handle. A perfect example of a TVS diode is the MAPLAD18KP160CA.

Introduction to MAPLAD18KP160CA

The MAPLAD18KP160CA is a high temperature, low capacitance transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode. The device is designed to offer high surge current and low leakage current. It has a fast response time to limits transient voltages and suppress high levels of reverse surge current. This device is constructed using Zener Technology and has an operating temperature range between -55°C and 175°C making it ideal for harsh environments.

Application Field of MAPLAD18KP160CA

The MAPLAD18KP160CA is ideal for many different applications due to its features. It can be used in the automotive industry as a form of over-voltage protection against the surge current created when the car is turned off and on. The device can also be used in industrial applications such as in motor control systems and other electronic systems that are prone to over-voltages. The MAPLAD18KP160CA can also be used in consumer electronics such as home entertainment systems, mobile phones and other consumer electronics devices that are susceptible to over voltage. Its low capacitance and fast response time make it ideal for suppressing transient voltages and surge currents.

The Working Principle of MAPLAD18KP160CA

The MAPLAD18KP160CA is designed to offer over-voltage protection by suppressing the surge current created by transient spikes. The device is designed to have a low capacitance in order to reduce the rate of rise of the surge current, making it easier for the device to absorb the energy. The device is also able to handle large amounts of surge current, making it ideal for applications that require robust protection against over-voltage.When a surge current enters the TVS diode, the device will begin to accelerate the electron movement. This acceleration causes the electrons to gain energy and create what is known as a ‘avalanche breakdown’. This process absorbs the energy of the surge current and suppresses the voltage levels once the current falls under a specific threshold.

Conclusion

The MAPLAD18KP160CA is a high temperature, low capacitance transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed to offer over-voltage protection. The device is ideal for automotive and industrial applications due to its fast response time and ability to absorb large surges of current. The device works by accelerating the electron movement using the Zener Technology to create an ‘avalanche breakdown’ and absorb the energy of the surge current.
