Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diodes have become an increasingly important electronic component as a result of their ability to protect sensitive circuits from damaging voltage surges. One of the most popular TVS diode products on the market today is the MXL1.5KE68CAE3. This article will focus on the application fields for this device, as well as its working principle.

Application Fields of MXL1.5KE68CAE3

The MXL1.5KE68CAE3 is ideally suited for a variety of applications, including but not limited to motor control, power distribution, lighting, and even industrial control. Its ability to protect sensitive circuits and components from high voltage/current fluctuations makes it an invaluable asset in many situations.

In motor control applications, the MXL1.5KE68CAE3 can protect against electrical transients generated by switching operations, thus ensuring an effective and reliable operation of the motor. This device is also well-suited for power distribution because it offers high-levels of protection against overload and short-circuit events. Additionally, the device is useful in industrial control situations, particularly when controlling high-current, pulsed circuits.

Overall, the MXL1.5KE68CAE3 offers excellent protection against over-voltage/current conditions in a variety of applications. Its low capacitance and low leakage current make this device an excellent choice for sensitive circuits.

Working Principle of MXL1.5KE68CAE3

The working principle of the MXL1.5KE68CAE3 is relatively simple. When subjected to a voltage surge, the device will immediately start to conduct the current away from the sensitive circuit. This keeps the peaks of the voltage/current fluctuations from reaching the circuit itself.

At the same time, the device starts to charge up a snubber storage capacitor, on the reverse side parasitic device to the diode junction. This increases the damping of the peak voltage and current values. When the voltage/current surge reaches its peak, the voltage on the reverse side of the diode rises, causing the device to start conducting again, which in turn causes the storage capacitor to slowly discharge. This process repeats itself, bringing the voltage/current back to its original level.

The device is also equipped with a diagnosis pin, which can detect if the surge protection is insufficient. This pin can be used to output a signal to inform system designers of the need to add additional components or to take protective measures. This is a very important feature, as it can prevent the device from failing when subject to a higher-than-normal voltage/current surge.

Conclusion

The MXL1.5KE68CAE3 is an excellent Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode. Its wide range of application fields make it an invaluable asset in many situations. Additionally, its working principle has been designed to provide the highest levels of protection against damaging voltage/current surges. Furthermore, it is equipped with a diagnosis pin that can detect if the surge protection is insufficient and output a signal to inform system designers of the need to take protective measures. With all these features and more, this device is one of the most popular TVS diodes on the market today.
