Introduction to TVS - Diodes

The vital role of TVS (Transient Voltage Surge) diodes in the defense of electrical components from voltage faults cannot be underestimated. TVS diodes are a type of comparator circuit consisting of a junction of two Zener diodes or a network of transistors, capacitors and/or resistors, which allow the low level signals to pass while stopping the high level signals from passing. In the case of a voltage surge, the TVS diode is designed to detect this and immediately redirect the current to the TVS diode instead of allowing the current to pass through the protected load, thus protecting the device. This article focuses on the MX5KP8.5CAE3 TVS diode application field and working principle.

Application Field of MX5KP8.5CAE3

The MX5KP8.5CAE3 TVS diode is a dual channel, unidirectional device with 5 kilovolt (KV) and 5 picoamp (PA) primary protection. This TVS diode supports reverse voltage protection up to 8.5 volts and contains components that are optimized to provide reliable protection against ESD and voltage transients. It is ideal for wide range of applications, including consumer electronics, automotive systems, telecommunications, and data and signal line protection. The MX5KP8.5CAE3 is designed for applications such as RS - 232 ports, mobile phone assemblies, automotive electronics, USB and USB chargers.

Working Principle of MX5KP8.5CAE3

The MX5KP8.5CAE3 diode works by absorbing the transient voltage from the source (such as a lightning strike), and releasing it onto a second stage that redirects this energy away from the load. This process is known as "clamping". The voltage limiting mode of the MX5KP8.5CAE3 TVS diode is achieved through active current limiting in both the forward (clamping) and reverse (unclamping) directions. The diode, therefore, acts as an electronic fuse by limiting the inrush of current and shortening the duration of any voltage transient. This device also contains circuitry that allows it to respond to faster transients than other devices. The MX5KP8.5CAE3 uses a dual channel ESD protection architecture to protect two lines at once, providing surge protection up to 5KV while limiting the clamping voltage below 8.5V. It is also designed with an internal circuitry to limit current across the diode to 5PA, ensuring reliable protection of the protected device.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the MX5KP8.5CAE3 TVS diode is an effective and reliable diode that provides maximum protection from transient voltage surges in a wide range of applications. Its dual channel, unidirectional design allows for protection up to 5 KV with an 8.5V clamping voltage. Its clamping mode current limiting ensures that device is not damaged while receiving ESD. The MX5KP8.5CAE3 is well-suited for applications such as consumer electronics, automotive systems, telecommunications, and data and signal line protection.
