MXLPLAD18KP100A application field and working principle

MXLPLAD18KP100A is a TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diode used to provide protection against voltage spikes. This diode is designed to protect high-speed microprocessors, memory, ASICs and sensitive electronic components from electrical surges. The diode can operate in a wide temperature range and can be used in applications ranging from industrial to automotive to communications.

MXLPLAD18KP100A is an unidirectional TVS diode which is designed to protect against both standard and extreme transient voltage spikes. It features an a6-kW surge capability with a low leakage current of 20 μA. The diode is housed in a compact 1.6mm x 0.8mm SOD-323F package, allowing it to be used in space-constrained applications.

The device has a breakdown voltage of 18 V at a clamping voltage of 19.8 V. It is designed to handle repetitive peaks up to 15 A and can withstand repetitive off-state voltages up to 30 V. The diode also features low capacitance and inductance which makes it suitable for high-speed communication applications.

The working principle of MXLPLAD18KP100A is very simple. During normal operation, the diode acts as an open circuit so no current flows through it. When it is exposed to an over-voltage spike, current flows through the diode and it clamps the voltage to its breakdown voltage. This protects the sensitive electronic component from any damage.

The device is also designed to protect both positive and negative rail voltages. It has a low capacitance of 1.7 pF and a low inductance of 3.5 nH, allowing it to respond quickly to transients. The diode also has an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. This makes it suitable for use in industrial and automotive applications.

In conclusion, the MXLPLAD18KP100A is a TVS diode designed to provide protection against voltage spikes. The device is housed in a small 1.6mm x 0.8mm SOD-323F package and can operate in a wide temperature range. It has a low capacitance and inductance and can also protect both positive and negative rail voltages. The diode is suitable for use in industrial, automotive and communication applications.
