Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) diodes, formerly a luxury item used mainly on board-level systems in order to protect circuits from overvoltage, have become one of the most common and widely used components in a wide range of electronic systems. The most popular type of TVS diode is the MX5KP36A, which is designed to provide protection from transient voltage spikes over a range from 18V to 36V. This device is widely used in automotive, medical, aerospace and industrial applications, as well as making its way into consumer electronics.

The MX5KP36A is a unidirectional TVS diode designed to protect circuits against overvoltages. It works by clamping the voltage at any given point in a circuit to a prescribed level. This ensures that no matter what voltage is applied to the circuit, no component is damaged by an overvoltage condition. The MX5KP36A\'s clamping voltage is set at 18V, which means that the voltage applied to the circuit will never exceed 18V, regardless of the applied voltage. As a result, the device can provide effective protection against transients up to 36V.

The MX5KP36A consists of a diode structure with three layers: a p-type layer sandwiched between two n-type layers. In operation, when the applied voltage exceeds 18V, the diode structure conducts and clamps the voltage at 18V. When the voltage drops below 18V, the diode no longer conducts, and the voltage returns to its normal level. This unidirectional self-seeking operation ensures that any overvoltage transients are dissipated safely and without damage to any other components or the device itself.

The MX5KP36A is designed to be used in a wide range of applications in order to protect both the circuit and any connected components against transient overvoltages. These applications include automotive, medical, industrial, and consumer electronics, and the device can also be used for applications such as overvoltage surge protection, ESD protection, and automated test equipment (ATE). It is also well-suited for use in portable devices such as laptop computers and cell phones.

The MX5KP36A is an excellent choice for applications where protection from overvoltage transients is required. It is easy to install, requires no additional components, and is capable of dissipating very large overvoltage transients. As a result, it is a cost-effective, reliable solution that can be used to protect both circuits and components from transients.
