A transient voltage suppressor diode, also known as a TVS diode, is a specialized unidirectional diode designed to protect electronic devices from transients caused by lightning, electrostatic discharge, or power disturbances. The MPLAD30KP200CA is a popular TVS diode and is used in applications requiring protection from transient voltage spikes.

The MPLAD30KP200CA is a surface-mount diode that can absorb transient voltages from 8.5 to 30 V. It features RoHS and Pb-free compliant chip technology and offers ESD and surge protection. The diode\'s maximum pulse power is 300 W, and its maximum leakage current is 15 μA. Its operating temperature range is -40°C to +85°C, and its storage temperature range is -40°C to +125°C.

TVS diodes are unidirectional devices that are connected in parallel with the protected circuit. When a transient voltage appears, the diode reacts quickly to limit the voltage. The diode is naturally in its low-resistance state and, as the voltage spikes, the diode responds by turning on and limiting the voltage to a safe value. When the transient ends, the diode is returned to its original low-resistance state. This behavior can be seen in the graph below:

This cycle allows the diode to continuously offer protection from transient voltage spikes. It is important to note that the diode can only handle up to 300 W of pulse power, so it is important to ensure the protected device does not exceed this threshold.

Due to its stable performance under wide temperature conditions, the MPLAD30KP200CA is often used in applications such as laptops, mobile phones, set-top boxes, industrial computers, and communications equipment. It is designed for use with either an electrolytic or tantalum capacitor for maximum protection against transient voltage.

The MPLAD30KP200CA is an essential protection device for almost any electronic device and provides valuable protection from both ESD and surge events. It is a cost-effective solution for mitigating transient voltages, making it an ideal choice for commercial and industrial applications.
