MASMLJ9.0CA/TR Circuit Protection

The MASMLJ9.0CA/TR series from Microsemi Corporation are high-performance transient voltage suppression (TVS) diodes that protect sensitive electronic equipment from damage caused by over-voltage transients. This device is a dual-junction diode with minimal capacitance and is compliant with the IEC 61000-4-2 requirements for electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection.

In terms of application, the MASMLJ9.0CA/TR series are specifically designed and engineered to protect one I/O line from transients inherent in today\'s increasingly hostile environments found in automotive and industrial applications. The TVS diode can protect power rails, high-speed data lines and various other circuits against over-voltage transients inductive loads.

The MASMLJ9.0CA/TR series have low clamping voltages that help maintain data signal integrity while protecting against quite a wide variety of electrostatic discharge and lightning-induced transients, hence they provide strong protection for critical components. As this device series was designed with advanced HVCO technology, it offers increased robustness and reliability.

The MASMLJ9.0CA/TR series offer robust and superior ESD protection due to the integrated low capacitance junction and the low clamping voltage. The device consists of two low capacitance back-to-back diodes which are capable of clamping the incoming voltage and helping to prevent damage and loss of data due to over-voltage transients. The operating principle of this device is that, when a transient surge is present, the diode will start to conduct, and divert the current away from sensitive internal circuitry.

The MASMLJ9.0CA/TR transient voltage suppression diodes offer superior protection, high reliability, and robust performance in automotive and industrial applications. The device is compliant to the IEC 61000-4-2 standard and provides protection against lightning-induced transients and ESD. Having low clamping voltages, the MASMLJ9.0CA/TR series can offer robust protection while maintaining data signal integrity.
