TVS - Diodes are essential components for ensuring the reliability in electronic applications. The MX5KP100CA is an ultra-low capacitance unidirectional TVS. It features a low dynamic capacitance of 1.3 pF typical and a low leakage current of 100 pA maximum .

Application Field

The MX5KP100CA is suitable for ESD protection applications in LCD flat panel displays, semiconductor packages, routers, and optoelectronic components. This device acts as a voltage suppression device to protect system components from electrostatic discharge and other transient voltage events. All these applications require ESD devices with ultra-low capacitance in order to protect sensitive components from fault and destruction.

Working Principle

The working principle of the MX5KP100CA is based on the voltage suppression effect of Zener diodes. The device consists of a Zener diode and a series resistor. When a reverse voltage is applied to the device, the user-defined breakdown voltage is reached.

At this point, the Zener diode starts to conduct current. As a result, the voltage drop across the resistor is limited to the Zener voltage, and any further increase in the voltage is prevented. The resistor limits the current through the diode and protects the device from damage caused by excessive current.

Due to the low series resistance and low capacitance, the MX5KP100CA is suitable for high frequency applications. It is also capable of absorbing high transient discharges up to >50A (8/20 μs) with little to no damage.

The MX5KP100CA is also available as an expandable TVS. This device is capable of absorbing multiple ESD transients with little to no damage. In addition, it has integrated ESD filters to reduce noise and protect sensitive components from transient voltage spikes.

Conclusion

The MX5KP100CA is an ultra-low capacitance unidirectional TVS that is suitable for ESD protection applications in LCD flat panel displays, semiconductor packages, routers, and optoelectronic components. This device works on the voltage suppression effect of Zener diodes and limits the current through the diode by using a series resistor. It is capable of absorbing multiple ESD transients with little to no damage and has integrated ESD filters to reduce noise and protect sensitive components from transient voltage spikes.
