Introduction to TVS - Diodes

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressors) are used as overvoltage protection devices. They are semiconductor devices which can shunt momentary high voltage spikes and prevent damage to connected equipment. TVS diodes are usually employed for switching surges on power or data lines, lightning surges, or any other form of transient overvoltage that exceeds the working range of a circuit. There are several types of Transient Voltage Suppressor diodes available, including: Zener, Zener-Gap, Gas Discharge, and PolySwitch.

MX5KP10AE3 Overview

The MX5KP10AE3 is a member of the ETC familiy of transient voltage suppressors by Zhenhua-ETC. It is specifically designed to protect circuits from damaging voltage transients and is ideally suited for use on signal lines in computers and telecom systems. The device features a low turn-on voltage of just 10 V. This low voltage means the protection of sensitive circuits can begin at an earlier stage in the transient voltage rise, allowing it to divert enough of the surge energy away from the circuit being protected.

MX5KP10AE3 Application Field

The MX5KP10AE3 TVS Diode is widely used in telecommunications, cell phone technology, product development, and office devices for transient overvoltage protection. Transient Voltage Suppressors are also commonly used in audio and video equipment for lightning protection, automotive electronics, and alarm systems for over- and under-voltage protection.

MX5KP10AE3 Working Principle

The principle of the MX5KP10AE3 TVS Diode is based on the avalanche effect or the unidirectional breakdown mechanism of a reverse-biased diode. The structure of the transil amplifies the voltage, resulting in a low device turn-on voltage. This low turn-on voltage enables the suppression of overvoltage transients at an early stage, thus protecting the equipment from any damage. The peak pulse power dissipation of the MX5KP10AE3 is up to 500 W. The TVS is protected against false triggering when exposed to a continuous voltage or reverse surge of 20ms duration.

Conclusion

The MX5KP10AE3 is a TVS Diode used for ESD, EFT, and lightning surge protection. Its unique structure is optimized for low voltage turn-on, resulting in efficient transient voltage suppression. As a result, the MX5KP10AE3 is especially suited for use in telecom applications, computers, and other systems where sensitive equipment requires protection from transient overvoltage.
