MXLCE90A

The MXLCE90A, which is also known as the Vehicle or Low Capacitance ESD Protective Diode Array, is a TVS diode specifically designed for protecting against electrostatic discharges (ESD). It is a neat, compact solution that helps provide reliable, high-speed ESD protection for sensitive electronic devices. It is an ideal ESD protection solution for applications such as cellular phones, handheld digital devices and automotive infotainment systems.

MXLCE90A Application Field

The MXLCE90A is designed for automotive applications, such as body electronics, infotainment and drivetrain components. It is used in situations where electrostatic discharge is likely to occur, and can help protect these sensitive automotive components from damage or disruption caused by ESD. It is also useful for ICs and other digital equipment used in automotive applications where cellular, Wi-Fi, bluetooth or automotive bus are employed. Furthermore, its small form factor allows it to be used in space-constrained, high-speed applications.

Working Principle

At the heart of the MXLCE90A are two ESD diodes arranged in a stack configuration. The stack configuration helps reduce the ESD clamping voltage, allowing the device to respond to ESD voltage quickly and effectively. When an electrostatic discharge occurs, the voltage on the device is clamped at a safe level. The two diodes work together in parallel to protect both power and signal lines. They are also designed to provide excellent transient response, with protection from both positive and negative ESD pulses.

The MXLCE90A is a low capacitance ESD protective diode array. This ensures that the device does not interfere with the signal lines of the device, and reduces the impedance associated with the ESD clamping circuit. This in turn helps reduce power consumption and extend the life of the device. Furthermore, the device\'s low profile allows it to be placed on the board without compromising space requirements.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the MXLCE90A is an ideal ESD protection device for automotive applications such as body electronics, infotainment and drivetrain components. It provides fast, reliable protection from electrostatic discharges, and due to its low capacitance it does not interfere with the signal lines. Its small form factor also allows it to be used in space-constrained, high-speed applications.
