MAPLAD36KP60A – TVS – Diodes Application Field and Working Principle

MAPLAD36KP60A is a silicon transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by Littelfuse for protection against electrostatic discharges (ESD) and transients in power supply networks. The device is non-directional, so it can be used in both anode and cathode applications. MAPLAD36KP60A is specially designed for protecting solutions which are sensitive to high energy surge content. The device provides a greater than 60V peak pulse power level with up to 36kA peak pulse current.

Application Field

MAPLAD36KP60A is primarily used in smartphones and similar power supply networks. It can also be used in automotive, consumer electronics, and industrial solutions. These TVS diodes provides great safety by protecting the devices against power supply disruptions, ESD, and overvoltage-induced transients. This particular device is suitable for applications which require peak voltage and current levels up to 60V and 36kA. The application field also includes protecting solutions against low current and low-energy static discharges.

Working Principle

MAPLAD36KP60A works on a simple and straightforward principle. The device clamps the voltage levels exceeding its own voltage levels, meaning that it redirects the excess pulses of current to ground. This same principle applies in protecting solutions from both low and high-energy surges and disruptions. This free-wheeling diode configuration also ensures that the device is able to operate reliably even in extreme conditions.

The device has an integrated circuit and two electrical capacitors for stable operation. The integrated circuit ensures that the device is able to detect small electrical pulses and regulate the peak voltage levels. The electrical capacitors are typically used to absorb excessive electrical pulses and redirect them away from the components which need protection.

MAPLAD36KP60A also features some built-in safety algorithms to optimize protection of sensitive electrostatic discharge the device may encounter. These algorithms can detect and suppress very low levels of static charge in order to prevent damage to the components.

Conclusion

MAPLAD36KP60A is a versatile TVS diode manufactured by Littelfuse. It provides protection against power supply disruptions, ESD, and transients in power supply networks. The device can be used for applications with peak voltage levels up to 60V and 36kA. It works on a simple principle of redirecting excess electricity to ground. MAPLAD36KP60A also features some safety algorithms for optimized protection against low-energy static discharge.
