TVS - Diodes, such as the MX15KP100CAE3, are widely used in circuit protection. This type of diode is capable of protecting electronic equipment from dangerous transient voltages from external sources - like lightning, induction, and other forms of power surges.

When constant voltage is applied to a diode, it creates a circuit with an expected balance of electrical flow. However, when there is a sudden, and large, surge of voltage - such as from lightning or an induction peak - the diode will absorb this surge in order to protect the appliance or equipment from damage inflicted by the surge.TVS diodes are designed to handle this type of change in electricity levels, and have a fast response time when dealing with these changes.

TVS diodes are made of a semiconductor material such as gallium arsenide, silicon, or gallium arsenide phosphide. They’re designed in a specific way and use a special type of capacitor in order to be able to handle higher currents. These devices are also used in reverse signals and bi-directional current.

Depending on the application, a TVS diode may be a surface mountable component, a bulk-head mountable component, or an insulated triggering diode. For instance, the MX15KP100CAE3 is a surface mountable diode.The surface mount version has a lead-free, RoHS-compliant design which complies with IPC/JEDEC standards, and has an operating temperature range of -55 to +125 degrees Celsius.

The MX15KP100CAE3 has a reverse voltage of 15 kilovolts. It is capable of handling a 100A peak surge current, which will last at least 8/20 microseconds. This diode offers excellent peak pulse power handling for large overvoltage transients in automotive, telecom, and industrial applications. Additionally, this component can also be used in a wide variety of other applications, including power supplies, panel displays, passives, flashlights, automotive accessories, and wireless electronic devices.

When it comes to the MX15KP100CAE3’s working principle, it utilizes a highly advanced technology known as avalanche breakdown. This process involves the release of a high amount of electron-hole pairs which occur when a high reverse voltage is applied across the diode. As the reverse voltage is increased, the diode will start to conduct increasingly higher levels of current. As the limiting voltage is reached, an avalanche breakdown will occur. This can create a large current flow which is able to absorb the surge or transient voltage.

The MX15KP100CAE3 diode is an excellent example of a TVS - Diode, and is highly effective at absorbing and protecting against transient voltage surges and electrical transients in a wide range of electronic devices. It is designed to handle a peak current of 100A, which will last at least 8/20 microseconds, and is compliant with IPC/JEDEC standards. This type of diode utilizes avalanche breakdown technology to protect electronic equipment and devices from damage caused by a sudden surge in voltage.
