MX5KP28CA

TVS – Diodes (Transient Voltage Suppressors – Diodes) commonly found in the electronics industry are protective devices that guard sensitive electronics from undesirable voltage occurrences. The MX5KP28CA is an unidirectional low capacitance diode built with proven chip technology for circuit protection from transients caused by electrostatic discharges (ESD). Product\'s low capacitance in TVS diode configuration helps maintain signal integrity by providing a fast response time on high-speed data lines.

The MX5KP28CA is designed for applications requiring ultra-low capacitance, a low operating voltage, and high ESD clamping capabilities, such as crystal 2 line card, multi-channel cables, communications and power line protection. It is a fully qualified TVS diode on the Automotive Qualification Level (AEC-Q101) and is also UL-Listed in one package configuration.

The working principle of the MX5KP28CA is to provide a bidirectional low capacitance and protection from ESD transients up to 28kV. The protective diode works by clamping the voltage to a level that\'s safe for electronics. In the case of an ESD event the diode turns on and in some cases it will sustain damage from the surge, this protective mechanism to stop the surge from entering the device, protecting it from malfunction and destruction.

The specific application field of MX5KP28CA is for Circuit Protection from transients caused by electrostatic discharges (ESD). The protection works in both directions, providing protection from transients caused by ESD events in an electronic device. The low capacitance in TVS diode configuration helps maintain signal integrity by providing a fast response time on high-speed data lines. It is ideal for use in Ultra Low-capacitance lines used in crystal 2 line card, multi-channel cables, communications and power line protection.

The advantages of the MX5KP28CA are: it is a fully qualified TVS diode on the Automotive Qualification Level (AEC-Q101), provides fast response time (20ns typical) on high speed data lines with low capacitance (2.0 pF max), and provides bi-directional protection from transients up to 28kV.

Overall, the MX5KP28CA is an ideal solution for providing protection from transients caused by ESD events. It provides a bi-directional low capacitance solution in TVS diode configuration to provide a fast response time on high-speed data lines and protects sensitive electronics from transients up to 28kV.
