Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) are designed to suppress transient voltage spikes and surges that can damage equipment or circuits. TVS diodes can be used for both AC and DC applications, and are available in various configurations including bi-directional (integrated diode and zener diode), unidirectional, and hybrid devices. The MX5KP100A is a popular bi-directional TVS diode.

Application Fields

The MX5KP100A can be used in a variety of AC and DC applications, including automotive, consumer electronics, computer peripherals, and industrial control systems. It can be used for point of load overvoltage protection, secondary side, and high-side active clamp applications. It is perfect for applications that are subjected to DC or AC transients with long rise times, and is suitable for operating temperatures up to 150°C.

Working Principle

The MX5KP100A is a bi-directional TVS diode which has an integrated diode and zener diode in the same package. The integrated diode acts as a well-defined break-over voltage when the transient voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage of the zener diode. The zener diode then clamps the voltage to the breakdown voltage of the zener diode. This provides both overvoltage protection and clamping, which makes it perfect for applications subjected to long rise times and AC or DC transients.

The integrated diode also provides reverse polarity protection from up to 100V. This is beneficial in automotive and industrial applications where reverse polarity connections can occur. The MX5KP100A also has a low capacitance, which makes it suitable for high speed data lines where low capacitance is important.

The package of the device is a Dual Common-Cathode (DCC) configuration, which is designed to increase power dissipation and reduce the storage temperature of the device. This makes it suitable for applications that require high power handling capabilities and high storage temperatures. Additionally, the package does not require any external heatsink, which reduces the system\'s component count and cost.

Conclusion

The MX5KP100A is a bi-directional TVS diode that is perfect for AC and DC applications that are exposed to transients with long rise times. It has an integrated diode and zener diode that provides overvoltage protection and clamping, and can also provide reverse polarity protection up to 100V. It is housed in a Dual Common-Cathode package, which is designed to increase power dissipation and reduce the storage temperature of the device without requiring an external heatsink, which reduces system component count and cost.
