The TVS-Diodes are devices used in circuits and equipment to protect from the damaging effects of electrical over-voltage. The MXLP5KE170AE3 is a widely used and popular device for protecting microprocessors, transistors, and other sensitive electronic parts and circuits from the hazards of high-voltage transients.

This device is a state-of-the-art component in the category of Transil, an acronym for Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) diodes. A Transil diode is a fast-acting, low-impedance unidirectional voltage limiter with a breakdown voltage range of 15 to 500 Volts. This device is designed to protect against electrostatic discharges, surge voltages and high-voltage transients that enter into circuits from outside sources.

The MXLP5KE170AE3 TVS-Diode consists of a two-terminal semiconductor body and a zener barrier inside the body. Its construction is similar to a Zener diode, however there is an internal construction that provides high-speed response and a low clamping voltage. This is achieved through the combination of two reverse-biased Zener diodes connected in parallel and two series PN junctions.

The two series PN junctions divide the device into three regions. The two reverse-biased Zener diodes are placed between the PN junctions and provide the rapid response to high-voltage transients. This ensures that the breakdown of one of the diodes occurs as soon as the transient is applied. The two PN junctions form an intrinsic voltage clamp that keeps the voltage on the input side of the device clamped in spite of large transients.

The MXLP5KE170AE3 is suitable for use in a variety of applications where high-voltage transients occur, such as in power supplies, automotive and telecommunication equipment. It has a reverse polarity protection of up to 170 Volts. Its peak pulse power dissipation capability is up to 1500 Watts and the peak pulse current capability is up to 20 Amps. It also has a very fast response time of 50 nanoseconds, making it an excellent choice for protecting against fast transients.

The MXLP5KE170AE3 is a cost-effective solution for protecting electronic devices and circuits from transient over-voltage. It features a low response time, high peak pulse power dissipation capability and a reverse polarity protection up to 170 Volts, making it a reliable device for high-voltage protection. With so many applications and its efficient operation, it is no surprise that the MXLP5KE170AE3 has become one of the most widely used products in the field of TVS-diodes.
