TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diodes are used as protection devices in the circuits to protect it from extreme voltage level surges. They are also called as TVS Diodes, because of their ability to provide short-term protection against overvoltage transients. MX1.5KE22CA is one such TVS Diode with an impressive rating of peak power dissipation of 1500 W at 10/1000 us pulse width.

MX1.5KE22CA belongs to the class of unidirectional TVS Diodes. They are mainly used in the applications that require protection from electrostatic discharge (ESD). The diode is used in analogue and digital line protection for the peak voltage rating of 2.2kV. It has a break down voltage rating at nominal voltage of 22V. The response time is quite impressive. It will provide protection with response time of less 1.0ps from 0V to its peak voltage rating.

The MX1.5KE22CA TVS Diode is offered in SOD-323 (SC-76) and SOD-523 (SC-88) packages. These packages offer better electrical insulation because of their downsized molded plastic bodies. The SOD-323 package offers impressive thermal performance with low thermal resistance.

The working principle behind the MX1.5KE22CA is based on a zener diode. Whenever a high peak voltage is applied, the electrical current starts to increase rapidly as the zener breakdown occurs. Due to the current increase, the diode absorbed the extra voltage spike and provides protection. It dissipates the extra energy in the form of heat. The heat dissipation rate is affected by the pulse width and surge current. Hence, it is important to make sure the pulse width never exceed the given limits.

In conclusion, MX1.5KE22CA is an excellent choice for line protection and ESD prevention from voltage spikes. It is rated to have 1500W peak power dissipation and a response time of less than 1.0ps. It is offered in two packages – SOD-323 (SC-76) and SOD-523 (SC-88). The working principle of this diode is based on it functioning as a zener diode, where it will absorb the extra voltage spike and dissipate it in the form of heat. Therefore, it is important to make sure that the pulse width never exceed the given limits as it will affect the heat dissipation rate of the diode.
