TVS - Diodes are a type of protection devices that are specifically designed for protecting the application from various transient voltage surge events (TVS) that may occur in normal operation, as well as during static or dynamic surges. These devices act like a fast responding clamp that limits the surge voltage that may get conducted through the application circuit. MAPLAD18KP70CAE3, a popular type of TVS diode, has a wide range of applications in different types of circuits, and a specific working principle behind it.

MAPLAD18KP70CAE3 is a double-sided discrete type of Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) diode which is widely used in different types of electronic circuits. It is a low capacitance, fast response diode with a very-high peak pulse power (Ppk) of 18 kV. MAPLAD18KP70CAE3 is especially being used in automotive applications, cable protection, unprotected systems and power circuits that are highly vulnerable to overvoltage affects. It is also used for protecting circuit components, as well as for the protection of complex power management systems that include multiple components.

The working principle of MAPLAD18KP70CAE3 TVS diode is very simple yet effective. It is an integrated device that is specifically designed to protect on-board PCBs and other devices, such as microcontrollers, processors, VLSI devices, and other sensitive components from high intensity transient voltage surges (TSS). Whenever the device comes across a high intensity voltage surge, it is designed to clamp the surge voltage along its breakdown voltage. The breakdown voltage is determined by the voltage drop across it. If the surge exceeds its clamping voltage, then it provides protection to the component by short circuiting it to the ground.

In addition to the above mentioned benefits that it provides, MAPLAD18KP70CAE3 also features an additional safety feature known as the Negative Peak Clamp (NPC). This feature is designed to protect against static and dynamic surges that may occur in a circuit. It\'s designed to reduce the peak voltage on the device by up to 30% before it reaches the critical breakdown level. This makes the device more effective when compared to other diodes that don\'t feature the negative peak clamp.

MAPLAD18KP70CAE3 is also one of the most popular choices for providing protection in automotive applications due to its fast response time, low capacitance, and high power handling capability. This type of TVS diode is especially designed to provide protection against overvoltage transients in automotive circuits and is widely used for protecting against spark plug arc and starter motor transients.

In addition to the above mentioned applications, MAPLAD18KP70CAE3 is also used for protecting USB ports, charging systems, power supplies and other high-performance circuits. This type of diode provides protection against high-intensity voltage surges that may occur during unplugging events, electrical connection and overloads. This makes it suitable for protecting delicate and sensitive components, such as microcontrollers and other logic ICs.

In conclusion, MAPLAD18KP70CAE3 TVS diode is a very useful component that provides reliable protection against transient voltage spikes in several different electronic circuits. It is designed with an innovative Negative Peak Clamp (NPC) feature that acts as a backup when the voltage reaches a certain level and helps prevent unexpected damages to components. Its fast response time, low capacitance, and high power handling capabilities make it one of the most popular choices in the market today.
