A Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) diode is an electronic component composed of a group of diodes connected in parallel. TVS diodes have a wide range of uses, from protecting sensitive computer components from power surges to preventing malfunction of sensitive electronic equipment due to voltage spikes or spikes caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD). One such TVS diode is the MP4KE13A.

The MP4KE13A is designed to provide reliable ESD protection in a variety of electronic devices. The diode is constructed of four parallel diodes housed in an SOD-323 transistor package. It is capable of suppressing up to 1.5kV ESD strikes in both 8/20μs and 500ps risetime pulses. Additionally, the diode is designed with a low on-state current of 0.5mA and a typical capacitance of 2.3pF.

The MP4KE13A is optimized for protecting sensitive electronics from overvoltage caused by lightning, electrostatic discharge, or other power surges. The diode functions as a clamp, reducing the peak voltage on the protected device to approximately 18V. During normal operation, the diode has a forward voltage drop of 0.6V. In the presence of an abrupt overvoltage, the diode’s avalanche breakdown voltage is triggered, causing a rapid increase in current to protect the device from the surge. After the surge has passed, the diode returns to its original forward voltage drop of 0.6V.

The MP4KE13A is well-suited for use in a variety of consumer electronics, including cell phones, laptops, tablets, and other small devices. In these devices, the diode is typically connected between the ground and the power source, to protect the device from power surges that can cause damage. The diode’s small footprint makes it an ideal choice for space-constrained designs, while its low forward voltage drop ensures minimal power dissipation in normal operation.

In addition to its use in consumer electronics, the MP4KE13A is also used in automotive and aviation applications. Automotive electronics must remain functional in the presence of vibration, environmental extremes, and other factors that could potentially cause electrical noise or spikes. The diode’s robust ESD protection helps ensure that automotive engine components, sensors, and other electronics remain functional during these events.

The MP4KE13A is a versatile diode designed to provide reliable ESD protection in a wide range of applications. It is capable of suppressing up to 1.5kV ESD strikes and has a low forward voltage drop of 0.6V. Its small footprint makes it suitable for space-constrained designs, while its robust ESD protection makes it suitable for use in both consumer and automotive electronics.
