MXL5KP7.0A Circuit Protection

MXL5KP7.0A TVS - Diodes Application Field and Working Principle

MXL5KP7.0A is a type of TVS diode. It is designed for use in high-speed circuits and provides superior protection and electrical characteristics. It is used to protect circuits from surges caused by inductive switching, static discharge, lightning, negative transient events, and more.

TVS diode devices consist of two parallel semiconductor diodes that are connected in opposite directions, giving them a "Z" shape. The diode combination is placed in series with the circuit of interest. When a surge or spike of voltage (greater than the rated breakdown voltage of the diode) passes through them, the diodes will "check" the energy intake, by clamping the voltage at a certain value. This helps protect the system from any type of circuit damage.

MXL5KP7.0A offers a direct alternative to other 5KP7.0A devices with superior surge ratings. Its surge rating is 5kA, while its breakdown voltage range is from 6.8V to 7.9V. It also has a low leakage current and a fast clamping response time. In addition, its low-capacitance enables better signal and noise integrity, which makes it ideal for high speed applications. Its low capacitance also helps reduce system-level power dissipation in high-voltage switching applications. Compared to other 5KP7.0A devices, MXL5KP7.0A also offers higher breakdown voltage, lower capacitance, and faster response time.

MXL5KP7.0A is primarily used in automotive and consumer applications, where superior TVS diode protection is required. MXL5KP7.0A is also used in cell tower base stations, telecommunications, and other automotive systems, where its advanced surge protection and low-capacitance performance ensures reliable system performance. It is also used in portable and wearable electronics, to provide superior protection against ESD and inductive switching events.
