TVS - Diodes

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diodes are widely used in the electronics industry to protect electronic components from receiving voltage which is above the absolute maximum ratings. The MXLLCE16A is a diode suitable for many applications ranging from signal line protection to low-power power supplies.

MXLLCE16A Application Field

The MXLLCE16A is suitable for AC, DC and RF applications as well as industrial applications. It can be used in systems such as Aircraft, Automotive and Telecoms, providing means of protection against static discharge, current induced transients and over-voltage transients. The MXLLCE16A is particularly suitable for applications where a high surge current is expected, such as in telecommunications systems and power supplies.

In addition to its application as a transient voltage protector, the MXLLCE16A can be used to protect printed circuit boards by clamping the voltage to a reliable level before it reaches the sensitive components. This can be done by connecting the diode in series with the board, creating a high voltage spike protection mechanism.

MXLLCE16A Working Principle

The MXLLCE16A operates by utilizing the physical properties of a diode, where the current flow is governed by the applied voltage. The diode acts as an open circuit when the applied voltage is below the breakdown voltage and will provide short circuit conditions when the voltage rises above the breakdown voltage.

When a voltage surge or overvoltage is applied to the diode, the voltage will rise until the breakdown voltage is reached. At this point, electrons are injected into the diode structure creating a conducting channel. This process is reversible such that when the voltage falls below the breakdown voltage, the diode will become an open circuit again. By utilizing the breakdown voltage of the diode, the voltage spike at the component is limited and this protects the device.

The MXLLCE16A is specifically designed for applications where the highest level of surge protection is required. It is available with a wide range of breakdown voltages and peak pulse current ratings to suit the requirements of the application. It also provides excellent ESD protection.

Conclusion

The MXLLCE16A Transient Voltage Suppressor diode is a versatile device which provides excellent surge protection in a wide range of applications. It utilizes the breakdown voltage of a diode to protect components from overvoltage transients while providing excellent ESD protection. Additionally, it can be used to protect printed circuit boards from high voltage spikes by clamping the voltage before it reaches the board.
