TVS diodes act as a protection device to avoid overvoltage due to conditions such as electrostatic discharge (ESD) events or voltage transients. One of the most popular choice for protection is the MXLPLAD15KP8.0AE3. In terms of protection, this device is capable of providing incredible protection as it is capable of handling up to 15kV peak pulse power (or 8kV peak pulse voltage), making it perfect for even the most demanding applications.

Working Principle of MXLPLAD15KP8.0AE3

The MXLPLAD15KP8.0AE3 TVS diode works on the principle of avalanche breakdown voltage. This means that when a voltage exceeding its breakdown voltage is applied, it creates a cone of ions within the crystal lattice of the device that concentrate the electric field until it reaches the point of breakdown. The avalanche breakdown voltage for the MXLPLAD15KP8.0AE3 is 10V so when the voltage exceeds 10V, the diode will break down.

Once the diode begins to break down, the current through the diode increases dramatically. This in turn increases the power dissipation of the device which helps to reduce the applied voltage. As the voltage decreases, the current decreases until it reaches a point where the diode can no longer operate and the device is turned off again.

Application Field of MXLPLAD15KP8.0AE3

Due to its high breakdown voltage and peak pulse power, the MXLPLAD15KP8.0AE3 is suitable for a variety of applications where protection is needed against spikes in the power supply or voltage transients. These applications include automotive, power supplies, high speed data lines, industrial, telecom, consumer electronics, and computer peripherals.

In automotive applications, the MXLPLAD15KP8.0AE3 can be used to protect circuits connected to the 12V battery from surges due to voltage transients. The device can also be used in the suppression of EMI/RFI signals for protection against interference caused by external sources.

In consumer electronics such as TVs and set-top boxes, the MXLPLAD15KP8.0AE3 can be used to protect against ESD and lightning strikes that may cause voltage transients. The device is also suitable for use in the protection of power supplies as these circuits are constantly subject to sudden changes in voltage and these changes can cause spikes and transients.

The MXLPLAD15KP8.0AE3 can also be used in telecom applications. Its high peak pulse power and breakdown voltage make it ideal for use in telecom circuits to protect against electrical surges or voltage transients due to lightning strikes.

Conclusion

The MXLPLAD15KP8.0AE3 is a versatile TVS diode designed for maximum protection against high-voltage transients. It is perfect for applications such as automotive, power supplies, high speed data lines, industrial, telecom, consumer electronics, and computer peripherals. Its 15KV peak pulse power makes it the ideal choice for even the most demanding applications, and its avalanche breakdown voltage of 10V ensures that it is capable of quickly reducing applied voltage when necessary, providing the best possible protection against electrical surges and voltage transients.
