TVS-Diodes, or Transient Voltage Suppression Diodes, are a type of semiconductor device used primarily for protection from overvoltage transients. The MX1N8160 is one of the latest innovations in this field with a number of compelling advantages. This article will describe the application fields as well as the working principle of the MX1N8160.

The MX1N8160 is an ultra-small dual-channel TVS diode designed with a built-in bidirectional ESD protection. It is suitable for use in many kinds of digital electronic products. Typical application areas include protection from electrostatic discharge (ESD), electrical overstress (EOS), electrical fast transients (EFT), and pulse power-induced transients. It can be used in applications such as computing and communication systems, consumer products, and automotive electronics for effective ESD and EFT protection.

The MX1N8160 has a number of advantages that make it a great choice for many applications. Firstly, it is very small in size, making it ideal for applications with space constraints. Secondly, it features excellent thermal performance, meaning it can handle higher power demands without any risk of thermal runaway or damage. Thirdly, its high-performance protection ensures it can effectively protect against transients of up to 6kV, exceeding the standard requirements for protection. Lastly, its low clamping voltage reduces the risk of damage to sensitive components, minimizing the risk of expensive repairs or replacements.

The working principle of the MX1N8160 is rather simple. When subjected to high-voltage transients, the TVS acts as a crowbar that quickly shunts the damaging voltage. By connecting the TVS diode in parallel with components downstream of the power supply, it can protect them from excessive voltage. When an overvoltage is detected, the diode begins conducting, allowing the current to bypass the protected components. This shunting of current prevents the components from being damaged by the high-voltage transient.

The MX1N8160 is a great choice for many applications due to its small size, excellent thermal performance, high protection capability, and low clamping voltage. Its simple working principle is easy to understand and offers effective protection against ESD, EOS, EFT, and pulse power-induced transients. With all these features, it is an ideal choice for use in digital electronics, consumer products, and automotive electronics.
