The MXL5KP90A has a wide variety of applications and is classified a TVS - diode. This component is a transient voltage suppressor diode which provides over-voltage protection and fail-safe operation. It can be used to protect circuits from voltage spikes up to 8 Kilovolts. It has low capacitance and low leakage current, making it ideal for sensitive circuit protection. It is designed for a wide range of applications such as protection of consumer electronics products, automotive applications, and power supplies.

The MXL5KP90A is a dual-diode arrangement made up of two series connected, ultra-low leakage diodes. The diode whose b converse voltage is higher than that of the other diode, is connected to the anode and its series fuse links are connected to the converse voltage. This arrangement increases the holding power of the diode by enabling it to tolerate higher over-voltage conditions without tripping. The dual-diode arrangement also enables the MXL5KP90A diode to draw less reverse current than a single diode arrangement. This enables it to protect sensitive circuits from high voltage transients.

The MXL5KP90A has a clip limit of 5 Kilovolts surge transient. This enables it to effectively protect circuits from voltage spikes up to 8 Kilovolts. The device also has a Clamping voltage of 9.6 Volts, an electromaning voltage of 8.3 Volts, and a breakdown voltage of 5.3 Volts. This ensures the device is capable of providing reliable protection from high voltage transients.

The MXL5KP90A can tolerate a wide range of temperature and power ratings. The device is rated for operating temperatures of -55°C to +125°C, and its power rating ranges from $3$ watts to $15$ watts. This ensures the device is capable of providing reliable protection under varying temperature and power conditions.

The working principle of the MXL5KP90A is based on the diode clipping principle. When a voltage spike occurs, the higher converse voltage diode conducts,clamping the voltage above the specified voltage. This clamping voltage is typically dependent on the device’s breakdown voltage, Clipper limit, and Electromagneitc interference levels. The diode’s Clipper limit is set so that it allows the current in the circuit to flow up to a certain limit before the device trips. This ensures the device can withstand high voltage transients without causing damage to sensitive circuitry.

In summary, the MXL5KP90A is a dual-diode arrangement transient voltage suppressor diode. It can protect sensitive circuits from voltage spikes up to 8 Kilovolts and has a wide range of power and temperature ratings. Its working principle is based on the diode clipping principle, allowing it to clamp the voltage above a certain specified voltage. This enables it to provide reliable protection from high voltage transients.
