MSP3V3-M3/89A Circuit Protection

TVS - Diodes, or transient voltage suppression diodes, are commonly used in electronic equipment for protection purposes, in order to prevent damage caused by overvoltage, overcurrent or electrostatic discharge (ESD).MSP3V3-M3/89A is a multi-bidirectional transient voltage suppression diode with a dual-diode configuration in a 3-pin SC-79 package. It is designed to provide ESD protection for high frequency electronic equipment.

MSP3V3-M3/89A is optimized for protection of high speed data lines, such as USB ports, HDMI ports, and many other high speed interfaces. It provides a low capacitance of 0.15pF, making it ideal for protecting signal integrity and high speed data transmission. The device is rated with an unidirectional ESD protection level of up to 16kV, and a bidirectional ESD protection level up to 8kV.

The MSP3V3-M3/89A is ideal for use in consumer, medical, automotive, or industrial applications. It can be used to protect input, output, and IO lines from transient overvoltage and ESD. It can be used on digital or analog lines, and on lines with either AC or DC signals. The device is also suitable for hot plugging and board level ESD protection. The MSP3V3-M3/89A is RoHS compliant and is lead-free.

The working principle of the MSP3V3-M3/89A is based on clamping of the voltage. During a transient voltage surge, the MSP3V3-M3/89A absorbs the excess energy and clamps the voltage, preventing damage to the connected circuit. The device also has a built-in self-reset feature which allows it to reset itself after a transient surge event. This means that the device can be used for continuous protection of sensitive electronic equipment from ESD and other transient voltage surges.

In summary, MSP3V3-M3/89A is a multi-bidirectional transient voltage suppression diode with a dual-diode configuration in a 3-pin SC-79 package. It is rated with an unidirectional ESD protection level of up to 16kV, and a bidirectional ESD protection level up to 8kV. The device is ideal for consumer, medical, automotive, or industrial applications, and is suitable for hot plugging and board level ESD protection. Its working principle is based on clamping of the voltage, and it has a built-in self-reset feature which allows it to reset itself after a transient surge event.
