TVS diodes, or transient-voltage-suppression diodes, are a special type of diode used to provide protection for systems against high voltage levels. The MXL15KP180AE3 is a bidirectional Silicon-Carbide (SiC) diode that offers advanced protection against fast transients and overvoltage events such as those caused by lightning, power induction, or static discharge. The device is designed to operate in the EUPEC® C3M family of power modules and is qualified to AEC-Q101 standards.

The MXL15KP180AE3 provides protection against transients up to 180V in uni-directional mode and 360V in bi-directional mode. It also incorporates advanced features such as low capacitance, low leakage current, and fast turn-on. These features give the device excellent performance in high-power applications.

The application fields of the MXL15KP180AE3 include automotive and automotive aftermarket, consumer electronics, industrial and instrumentation applications that require high reliability and protection against transient overvoltage events. The device is also suitable for telecom systems, power supplies, and power systems.

The MXL15KP180AE3 employs a structure typically used for TVS diodes. It consists of two chips: an N-type silicon chip and a P-type silicon chip. The N-type chip provides the “anode” or connection point of the device, and the P-type chip serves as the “cathode.” The N-type and P-type chips are separated by an insulating layer of oxide. The N-type and P-type chips each carry a voltage junction junction diode (VJD) that serves as the active element of the device.

When the device is exposed to a transient voltage, the current through the VJD rises quickly, and the diode turn-on time is typically less than 5 nanoseconds. As the current increases, the diode’s voltage-drop decreases, and the diode begins to clamp the transient voltage. The device can also handle continuous overloads of up to 10 times the maximum rated peak power.

In the event of an overvoltage event, the device also has a built-in thermal protection feature. This feature ensures that the device does not overheat during the operation and helps protect against component failure.

The MXL15KP180AE3 can be used in both single-ended and differential-ended applications. It is designed for use with a resistor in differential-ended applications to ensure proper voltage sharing and current balance across the two chips. It is also designed to operate in environments where temperatures can range from -55°C to 140°C.

The MXL15KP180AE3 is a reliable, high-performance device that provides protection against fast transients and overvoltage events. By utilizing advanced features such as low capacitance and low leakage current, the device offers excellent performance in high power applications. It is ideal for use in automotive and automotive aftermarket, consumer electronics, industrial and instrumentation applications that require reliable high voltage protection and is qualified to AEC-Q101 standards.
