The MXLPLA15KP160CA is an ultra-low capacitance TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diode. It is available in a Mini-FLAT package, specially designed for ESD (ElectroStatic Discharge) protection of high-speed data ports and interfaces. This device is able to provide surge protection under extreme transients that exceed the desired voltage level.

MXLPLA15KP160CA is ideal for providing ESD protection for USB 3.0 systems, LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) applications, and data interfaces, such as HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface). It is also suitable for high-speed data ports on a variety of other consumer electronics, automotive, and industrial applications.

The working principle of the MXLPLA15KP160CA is quite simple. It is designed to absorb transient surge energy and dissipates it in the form of heat. This is achieved when the diode undergoes excessive electrical stress, and the transient current causes a brief increase in the junction temperature of the diode. The increased temperature triggers a breakdown in the diode’s PN junction, which in turn creates an avalanche effect and ultimately discharges the surge energy in the form of heat.

The MXLPLA15KP160CA has a Low Capacitance (C_D) rating of 15pF, providing minimal data distortion and high surge protection. It is rated for an ESD Voltage up to +/- 8kV (HBM) and offers an impressive peak power of 15kW. It is RoHS compliant and UL Recognized, and can operate in a wide temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

In summary, the MXLPLA15KP160CA is a robust, cost effective TVS diode designed mainly for ESD protection and surge suppression of high-speed data interfaces and ports. Its low capacitance rating ensures minimal data distortion while its high avalanche current trigger point effectively discharged any surge energy. These features make the MXLPLA15KP160CA an ideal solution for a broad range of applications requiring Lightning Surge Discharge, ESD and EMI/RFI protection.
