MP6KE100AE3

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppresion) diodes are semiconductor devices designed to provide protection against transient voltage spikes. The MP6KE100AE3 is a unidirectional, 600W peak power TVS diode designed to protect against voltage transients such as electrical overstress (EOS) and electrostatic discharge (ESD).

This device is packaged in a Compact SOD-323F form factor and features an ultra-low capacitance of 9pF. It can be used in a variety of applications such as computers, portable electronics, industrial equipment, lighting and many more.

The MP6KE100AE3 is an bidirectional device with two die, each on a separate lead. The first die is responsible for fast turn-off and low capacitance. The second die is responsible for low leakage current and short turn-on time.

The MP6KE100AE3 works by clamping the applied voltage to its breakdown voltage. When the applied voltage reaches the breakdown voltage, the diode starts to conduct. This is known as the avalanche breakdown. The current then increases exponentially until the power dissipated by the diode is equal to the power dissipated by the protection circuit.

The MP6KE100AE3 provides excellent protection against ESD pulses up to 8kV contact and 15kV air discharge. It is also designed to suppress voltage transients up to 1000W peak. The device offers high surge current capability and fast response time for reliable protection of sensitive circuits.

The MP6KE100AE3 is a versatile, high performance TVS diode, suitable for a wide variety of applications. It can be used to protect exposed circuits from ESD and other transient voltage spikes and has a wide operating temperature range from -65°C to +170°C. It is also available in surface-mount and through-hole packages to meet a wide range of design requirements.
