TVS - Diodes: MXL1.5KE170AE3 Application Field and Working Principle

TVS - Diodes, otherwise known as Transient Voltage Suppression Diode, works as a protection device for electronic circuits against excessive transients in voltage. In particular, the MXL1.5KE170AE3 Transient Voltage Suppression Diode is a significant component in safety applications, owing to its robust and highly reliable performance. This diode employs unidirectional only protection and can be used as an ESD protection on circuit boards. Let’s take a closer look at the usage and working principle of the MXL1.5KE170AE3.

Application Field of the MXL1.5KE170AE3

The MXL1.5KE170AE3 is designed with EMI suppression in mind. It is often integrated on circuit boards to serve as a diode clamping device against high power spikes, as well as EMI/RFI interference. Cellular phones, digital cameras, video cameras, wireless device, etc., are some of the typical applications for MXL1.5KE170AE3.

Also, owing to the superior ESD immunity of MXL1.5KE170AE3, it can act as an effective protection against damaging electrostatic charges. The device is suitable for use with I/O ports of computers, data communications, and electronic systems, etc. As such, it can heavily reduce malfunctions due to system and component’s exposure to electrostatic discharges.

Working Principle of the MXL1.5KE170AE3

The MXL1.5KE170AE3 acts as a protection mechanism against overvoltage transients, which can occur at power up or down, or continuously due to external Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) sources. When overvoltage or transient occurs, the MXL1.5KE170AE3 will enter the breakdown condition and blocks the transient signal from propagating further. The device is designed with a junction-gate structure and has a fast response time of less than 8ns.

In addition, the device provides a low clamping voltage of 10.6V and ESD protection up to 8kV. It is extremely effective in resisting ESD strikes and absorbs an enormous amount of ESD energy without damaging the system. Furthermore, the diode has an operating voltage range of 5 ~ 25V and a reverse leakage current of less than 400nA.

In conclusion, the MXL1.5KE170AE3 Transient Voltage Suppression Diode provides an extremely reliable means of surge and ESD protection for a wide range of applications. It offers a low-capacitance clamping voltage, as well as a fast response time, while absorbing large amounts of ESD energy without damage. As such, the MXL1.5KE170AE3 is an indispensable component for many electronic systems.
