MASMCJLCE64AE3 Datasheet/PDFTVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diodes are a form of semiconductor device used as a form of electrical protection to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD) and other forms of electrical transients.
The MASMCJLCE64AE3 is one such type of TVS diode designed to protect against surge and transient overvoltages. It is a unidirectional element which is designed to provide protection from high voltage transients and pulses. The MASMCJLCE64AE3 can be used in a variety of industrial and commercial applications to provide overvoltage and ESD protection.
In terms of its operating principle, the MASMCJLCE64AE3 is a dual-part junction diode that is commonly used for its ability to absorb large transient and overvoltage events. The diode is comprised of two components: an anode and a cathode. The anode is connected to a higher voltage, typically the power supply, while the cathode is connected to a lower voltage, such as the ground plane. When an excessive voltage is present, electrons are attracted from the anode to the cathode, resulting in a current flow that is eventually dissipated as heat.
The MASMCJLCE64AE3 is a low leakage, high-value device, meaning that current leakage during normal working conditions is kept to a minimum. This provides protection during both normal operation and in overvoltage or ESD conditions, without the need to add extra components. It can be used in a variety of applications, from power supplies to logic boards.
The MASMCJLCE64AE3 is designed to handle very high voltages, with a peak pulse power rating of 8.3kW at 10/1000uS waveforms. It provides excellent transients protection when connected directly to the power supply, while its low leakage characteristics mean that it can be used for logic board protection, with very little risk of false triggering.
The MASMCJLCE64AE3 can be used in a range of applications, such as automotive electronics, consumer electronics and white goods. It is well-suited to applications with severe environmental conditions, such as high temperatures, high humidity and extreme shock and vibration.
To conclude, the MASMCJLCE64AE3 is a highly versatile TVS diode designed for overvoltage and ESD protection. It is well-suited to a range of industrial and commercial applications, and can operate in a variety of environmental conditions. Its peak pulse power rating and low leakage characteristics make it an ideal choice for a range of applications, including power supplies, logic boards and general ESD protection.
