TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diodes are semiconductor devices which are used to protect against high voltage spikes and prevent damage to vulnerable circuits. The MXLPLAD15KP16CAE3 is a type of TVS diode which is designed to provide protection from transient over-voltages up to 15 kilovolts peak pulse amplitude (15kV).

The MXLPLAD15KP16CAE3 is used in a variety of applications, such as in the automotive, industrial, and telecommunications industries. It is designed to protect automotive powertrain and exterior LED lighting circuits, industrial AC or DC inverters and controllers, and telecom infrastructure equipment from over-voltage or ESD (electrostatic discharge) damage. In addition, it is used in remote sensing applications where noise and interference must be filtered out.

The MXLPLAD15KP16CAE3 is available in an ultra-small SMD (surface-mount device) package, making it particularly suitable for applications where space is at a premium. It is RoHS compliant, UL recognized, and meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD requirements.

The working principle of the MXLPLAD15KP16CAE3 is based on the principle of avalanche breakdown. This is a phenomenon which occurs when the electric field across a PN junction diode exceeds its critical value. This sudden increase of electric field causes large currents to flow through the device, which in turn dissipates the energy of the over-voltage spike and provides protection to the adjacent circuits.

The peak pulse voltage of the MXLPLAD15KP16CAE3 is 15kV, with a peak pulse current rating of 15A. Its avalanche voltage rating is 20V @ 25°C (77°F). The device has a fast response time (below 1.0ns) and low clamping voltage (less than 40V@ 12A). It also has good surge and ESD tolerance, with a breakdown voltage of 1000V@ 10A.

In addition, the MXLPLAD15KP16CAE3 has a wide operating temperature range of -55 °C ~ +150 °C (-67°F ~ +302 °F), and is resistant to several harsh environmental conditions. It is compliant with the Automotive PPAP (production part approval process) requirements, and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive applications.

The MXLPLAD15KP16CAE3 is an effective and reliable solution for protecting automotive, industrial, and telecom systems against transient over-voltages. Its small form factor, wide operating temperature range, wide surge capability, and fast response time make it a good choice for applications where space and performance are critical.
