The MXLCE18AE3 is a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode used to protect sensitive components from high voltage transients such as electrical overstress (EOS). It\'s one of the most popular TVS devices on the market, due to its advanced performance, impressive features and good price/performance ratio. The MXLCE18AE3 is a unidirectional diode with an avalanche breakdown voltage of 18 volts, which can handle up to 24A of surge current.The main application field of the MXLCE18AE3 is for protection of high voltage circuits and lines. It can be used in power supplies, computers, motor drives, motors, controllers and other related equipment. It is also used in portable electronic devices, such as smartphones and tablets, to protect against faulty power surges.The working principle of the MXLCE18AE3 is based on the avalanche breakdown voltage. When the reverse voltage across the diode exceeds the breakdown voltage, the breakdown current will lead to a sharp increase in current. This high current causes an additional voltage drop across the diode, which in turn creates a low impedance path that absorbs the transient energy. When this energy is dissipated, the voltage will return to its normal level.Although simple in concept, the working principle of the MXLCE18AE3 is highly effective. Not only is it capable of safely absorbing transients of up to 24A but it also has an incredibly fast response time of less than 7 nanoseconds. This makes it ideal for protecting against fast transient spikes that can damage sensitive components within microseconds.In addition, the MXLCE18AE3 boasts an impressive surge capability. With its maximum pulse power of 7.2W, it can safely absorb surges of up to 6.2W without suffering permanent damage. This makes it particularly suitable for use in applications with high peak currents, such as automotive, military and avionics applications.Overall, the MXLCE18AE3 is an excellent choice for protecting against voltage transients in a variety of applications. With its impressive performance and features, it is no wonder that it is one of the most popular TVS devices on the market.
