TVS - Diodes

The MPLAD36KP350CA is a TVS diode, also known as a ‘Transient Voltage Suppressor’ or Transient Voltage Suppression’ diode. This type of diode is designed to protect electrical systems and circuits from overvoltage transients and surges. In this article we will explore the MPLAD36KP350CA’s application field and its working principle.

Application Field

The MPLAD36KP350CA is one of a range of TVS diodes designed to be used in applications that may be exposed to damage from voltage transients or surges such as rail-track power systems, in-vehicle systems, motor controls, and industrial electronics. Because of their wide range of applications, these diodes are often used in medical, automotive, industrial and home applications.These devices can be used in circuits in order to protect critical components from damage due to external or induced transients, or overvoltage or reverse-bias conditions. The MPLAD36KP350CA can also reduce the likelihood of false triggering of other components or devices. These diodes are also widely used for preventing the triggering of triacs and other signal-level integrated circuits.

Working Principle

The MPLAD36KP350CA is a unidirectional diode that is designed to protect devices from overvoltage or reverse bias surges. The device has an electrostatic discharge protection function and operates a breakdown voltage of 36 volts.At breakdown voltage, the diode switches to a clamping state. This junction created produces a stabilizing voltage across the resistance, which effectively protects the circuit from the overvoltage surges causing transients. Under normal operating conditions, the diode remains non-conducting.The TVS diode is operated in a reverse bias and is used to protect the device from voltage transients by shunting the transient current away from the components. The TVS diode is designed to clamp the voltage to a predetermined level and reduce the amount of energy flowing through the device. This is achieved by a special protection circuitry which turns the diode on during the surge. When the surge is over the diode is turned off, thus providing a stable voltage source.

Conclusion

The MPLAD36KP350CA is a type of diode designed to protect circuits and components from overvoltage and transients. With a wide range of applications, this diode can be used in various medical, automotive, industrial and home applications. The diode is a unidirectional diode and operates a breakdown voltage of 36 volts. Its operation depends on the reverse bias of the diode, which works to reduce the energy flowing through it and clamp the voltage to a predetermined level.
