TVS – Diodes

TVS diodes are non-linear voltage-sensitive protection components. They basically protect any electrical device or circuit from transients caused by lightning and inductive switching operations. MPLAD30KP180CAE3 is one such TVS diode, which is highly preferred because of its excellent protection characteristics. This section aims to delve into this component, and explore its application fields and working principles.

Application Fields of MPLAD30KP180CAE3

MPLAD30KP180CAE3 is a type of unidirectional TVS diode that is used in the most common ESD protection configuration. This diode has a low-on resistance, high-hold off voltage, and a low capacitance that enables it to protect a variety of sensitive electrical devices. It is most commonly used for protecting any type of digital or analog circuit vulnerable to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and electrical overstress (EOS) conditions. It is also used to protect input and output ports from damage due to high-voltage transients.

MPLAD30KP180CAE3 is especially suitable for use in consumer, industrial, automotive, and telecom applications. It provides a layer of protection from ESD, EFT, surge, and other overvoltage conditions. It is available in multiple flexible packages, such as SOT-23, SuperSOT, SO-8, and DO-214AC that allow for easy installation into a wide variety of applications.

Working Principles of MPLAD30KP180CAE3

The working principles of the MPLAD30KP180CAE3 TVS diode are fundamentally based on the ESD protection mechanism. This diode basically protects any connected equipment from transient voltage spikes. It is designed with a positive breakdown voltage and allows AC or DC signals to pass through it when the breakdown voltage is not exceeded.

The MPLAD30KP180CAE3 diode is primarily designed to prevent ESD and EFT occurring in sensitive digital devices. The diode, when connected to a line or device, provides a low-impedance path for the transient signals to bypass any connected equipment. This action of providing a low-impedance path to the transient signals is called the clamping action. This clamping action allows the diode to clamp the transient voltage at the breakdown voltage of the diode.

MPLAD30KP180CAE3 has a peak pulse power of 30.0 Watts, breakdown voltage of 180 volts, and hold off voltage of 50 volts. The diode also has an operating junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C, and a storage junction temperature range of -65°C to +150°C. Moreover, it allows a maximum surge current of 120A, a maximum stand-off voltage of 800V, and a maximum operating current of 20mA.

Conclusion

MPLAD30KP180CAE3 is a TVS diode that combines low capacitance with a high-hold off voltage to protect electrical devices from ESD, EFT, and transient over-voltage conditions. It can be used in a variety of consumer, industrial, automotive, and telecom applications. It helps to provide good protection to connected electronic circuits against transient voltage spikes. Moreover, it has low on-state resistance and a low capacitance which further enhances its protection capability. This makes MPLAD30KP180CAE3 a preferred choice for any device protection needs.
