The MXLPLAD18KP7.0CAE3 is part of a family of Transient Voltage Protection Devices (TVS-Diodes). It is designed to protect sensitive electronics from transient electrical surges, such as those caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD), continuous over-voltage, and lightning. The MXLPLAD18KP7.0CAE3 is a unidirectional (one-way) protection device with a maximum off-state reverse breakdown voltage of 18kV. It offers high transient energy absorption, low clamping voltage, low leakage current, and is designed for low dissipation.

Application Fields

The MXLPLAD18KP7.0CAE3 devices are typically used to protect single-ended data signal lines and low-power AC voltage lines, such as those found in communications and industrial control electronics. As this device offers high transient energy absorption, low leakage current, and a low off-state reverse breakdown voltage, it is also suitable for protecting higher throughput data buses. In addition, this device can be used to protect power supplies and very sensitive analog signals from over-voltage events.

Working Principle

The MXLPLAD18KP7.0CAE3 is a unidirectional transient voltage protection device, meaning that it can only protect against over voltage surges and transients on one side of the circuit. The device consists of a silicon diode that is connected between the source of the current and the protected device. When a surge or transient is detected, the diode acts as an open circuit, preventing the transient from passing through and protecting the downstream device. The diode can absorb a large amount of energy during the transient event, and then automatically reset itself when it has dissipated.

The MXLPLAD18KP7.0CAE3 offers a maximum off-state reverse breakdown voltage rating of 18kV, meaning that it can prevent any transient voltage event greater than 18kV from passing through it and damaging the downstream device. It also offers low leakage current, meaning that it will not cause any significant current to flow into the protected device even when the protection circuit is activated. The low clamping voltage on this device ensures that the transient voltage spike is attenuated quickly, minimizing damage to the protected device.

In addition to the protection features offered by the MXLPLAD18KP7.0CAE3, it also provides good signal integrity to the protected device. Since the device has very low capacitance, it does not significantly degrade signal quality on data lines or low-power AC voltage lines, ensuring that the data is accurately transmitted to the downstream device.

Conclusion

The MXLPLAD18KP7.0CAE3 is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Protection Device (TVS-Diodes) designed for protection against over-voltage events, such as those caused by electrostatic discharge, continuous over voltage, and lightning. This device offers high transient energy absorption, low leakage current, and low clamping voltage, and is suitable for protecting single-ended data signal lines and low-power AC voltage lines. It also offers good signal
