MPLAD7.5KP17A – TVS-Diodes

MPLAD7.5KP17A, a uni-directional transient-voltage-suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by Infineon Technologies, is widely used in numerous applications for transient voltage spike protection. This diode is qualified according to the Automotive Electronics Council (AEC) standard AEC-Q101. It offers high surge capability and advanced performance features such as low capacitance.

Introduction to TVS Diodes

TVS diodes are solid-state, non-destructive protection devices which are used to protect sensitive electronics from high-energy transients caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD), cable or inductive switching, electrical overstress, or electrical surges. These diodes are designed to absorb and dissipate high-energy pulses without sustaining damage or, in some cases, even tripping a circuit breaker. In many applications, TVS diodes can replace the more expensive multi-pole and multi-layer varistors (MLV’s) because they fabricate more reliably with a higher surge capability and overall cost-effectiveness. As a result, they are widely used for protecting signal and power converters from destruction due to ESD, voltage spikes, and other electrical overstress conditions.

MPLAD7.5KP17A Application Fields

MPLAD7.5KP17A can be used in a variety of applications where surge protection is required. It is ideal for mobile phone, computer, and automotive audio applications, and also for automotive powertrain, body control, and ABS systems. In automotive powertrain and body control systems, it can be used to shield against transients caused by ignition, solenoid actuation, or other switching events. It can also be used in other applications requiring protection against transient voltages.

MPLAD7.5KP17A Working Principle

The MPLAD7.5KP17A is a Zener diode with an avalanche breakdown voltage of 7.5 kV. This diode is designed to protect sensitive electronic components from overvoltage or excessive current by clamping any voltage exceeding the breakdown voltage to a reference voltage. When a voltage greater than the breakdown voltage is applied to the diode, it acts as a bidirectional current path, allowing the current to flow in either direction until the voltage reaches its breakdown voltage. At that point, the current is suddenly diverted, and the voltage is clamped at the breakdown voltage, which is 7.5kV in the case of the MPLAD7.5KP17A. This clamps the voltage and prevents it from overstepping the protection limits of the sensitive components.The MPLAD7.5KP17A also has a low-capacitance design which enables high-speed data communication. This feature reduces the risk of performance degradation due to ESD and transient voltage events, thereby ensuring data integrity and efficient operation.

Conclusion

MPLAD7.5KP17A is an ideal choice of TVS diode for numerous applications requiring surge and voltage spike protection. Its uni-directional nature; low capacitance design coupled with great performance features, make it suitable for use in a variety of applications ranging from mobile devices to automotive powertrain and body control systems. The MPLAD7.5KP17A can effectively shield sensitive electronic components from transient voltages, thereby ensuring data integrity and efficient operation.
