TVS diodes are electronic components used to protect sensitive electronic equipment from destructive voltage spikes, especially those caused by lightning, static electricity, and high-voltage pulses. The MQ1N8168US is a unidirectional TVS diode that works in conjunction with its own circuit elements to provide effective protection for computer-related devices and other sensitive electronic components. In this article, the application field and working principle of the MQ1N8168US will be discussed.

The MQ1N8168US is used as a protection device in various situations, including the protection of sensitive electronic components from very short overvoltage transients such as those caused by arcs or flashes from lightning. This diode is also used to protect systems from overvoltage transients that are generated internally, such as those from electrostatic discharge (ESD) and switch power cycles. The MQ1N8168US has a low clamping voltage and can safely withstand voltages up to 8.1V, allowing it to protect electronic components from overvoltage transients up to 8.1V.

The MQ1N8168US features a low reverse leakage and fast response time, making it suitable for high-speed data applications. It is also suitable for high-frequency applications, with its response time for 50% peak value waveforms of 17ns and for 10% peak value waveforms of 68ns. The device also features a low dynamic impedance, which allows it to absorb transient energy without damaging any connected load.

The MQ1N8168US has a unidirectional structure, which consists of three main components: a protection diode, an anode connection, and a cathode connection. The protection diode, which is the main part of the device, is responsible for protecting the component from overvoltage transients. The anode and cathode connections are used to provide electrical connections between the diode and the circuit elements to which it is connected. The device is rated for a maximum peak undo voltage (Vpp) of 8.1V and a maximum peak pulse current (IPP) of 2A.

The working principle of the MQ1N8168US is based on a simple concept: when an overvoltage transient is applied to the anode connection, the protection diode will be turned on, allowing current to flow from the anode to the cathode connection and absorbing the overvoltage transient. The device is designed so that once the peak voltage reaches a predetermined level (8.1V), the protection diode is turned off, preventing further current flow and preventing damage to the protected component.

In summary, the MQ1N8168US is a unidirectional TVS diode that is used to protect against overvoltage transients caused by lightning, static electricity, and high-voltage pulses. It features a low clamping voltage and can withstand voltages of up to 8.1V. The device also has a low reverse leakage and fast response time, making it suitable for high-speed applications. It works by absorbing the energy of an overvoltage transient, preventing it from damaging the protected component. The MQ1N8168US is an ideal choice for protecting sensitive electronic components from destructive voltage spikes.
