TVS - Diodes

TVs or transient voltage suppressors (TVS) are used to protect electronic components from dangerous power surges. They act as short-duration energy absorbers, which allow the safe dissipation of excessive voltage and current sag and negate destructive voltage spikes. TVS diodes are the most common type of voltage suppressors due to their fast response time and large current handling capability.One specific device is the MPLAD30KP16CA. This is a 30KV 16A IEC rated Ultra Fast Bidirectional TVS diode. It is designed to protect sensitive components from voltage surge and voltage spike damage. It is typically used in power supplies, sensors, computer systems, and telecom applications.The principles of operation of this diode involve a combination of a breakdown voltage, a clamping voltage and a fast response time.The breakdown voltage of a TVS diode is the voltage at which it turns on and starts conducting. This is why TVS diodes are also sometimes known as ‘avalanche’ diodes, because they turn on when subjected to a sufficiently high voltage, just like a snowball avalanche when it reaches a certain point.Once the breakdown voltage is reached, the TVS diode starts conducting and a clamping voltage is then established. The clamping voltage is the maximum voltage that can be attained regardless of the applied voltage, and is regulated by the diode’s current carrying capacity.Finally, the diode’s RDF, or response time is also important. This is the amount of time it takes for the diode to react to an applied voltage and start conducting. The faster the response time, the more effective the diode is in protecting against voltage spikes.The MPLAD30KP16CA is designed to have a breakdown voltage of 30KV and a peak pulse current of 16A in a bidirectional configuration. This ensures that it is able to absorb sufficient amounts of voltage and its fast response time means that it can react quickly to voltage spikes preventing the damage of sensitive components.This diode can benefit a wide range of applications from power supplies and cellular phone systems to medical imaging systems and communications equipment.With an operating temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and a low internal capacitance of 50pF, the MPLAD30KP16CA is designed to be a reliable and rugged device, capable of withstanding extreme temperature conditions.In summary, the MPLAD30KP16CA is a 30KV 16A Ultra Fast Bidirectional TVS diode. It offers a breakdown voltage of 30KV and a clamping voltage of 16A, with an extremely fast response time and robust design. This makes it ideal for use in applications where voltage spikes can cause damage, meaning it is a valuable tool in providing surge protection for power supplies, computer systems, telecom applications and medical imaging systems.
