TVS - Diodes

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppression) diodes are specialized diodes designed with both avalanche technology and peak pulse power handling capability. These components are typically used in various types of circuit protection applications. The most common type of TVS diode is the MXLPLAD36KP350CA.

MXLPLAD36KP350CA Application Field and Working Principle

The MXLPLAD36KP350CA is a unidirectional, low capacitance, low clamping voltage transient suppression diode. It is often used to protect components in high-frequency data lines from overvoltage transients such as ESD (electrostatic discharge).

Typically, this type of diode provides protection from ESD voltages as high as 30kV, allowing it to effectively protect all grades of data lines, from 0.25μm (3.3Vpp) to 3Vpp. In addition, the MXLPLAD36KP350CA has very low capacitance values, typically clocking in at only 0.2pF, making it ideal for data line protection.

The MXLPLAD36KP350CA works by absorbing disruptive transient energy that is high enough to damage an unprotected sensitive circuit. This is achieved through a combination of avalanche breakdown and peak pulse power capabilities. First, the potential transient voltage is applied to the diode\'s anode. If the transient voltage is low, the diode will simply remain in its non-conductive state. However, if the potential transient voltage is high enough, then the diode\'s junction will reach the avalanche breakdown point.

At this point, the built-in junction capacitance is discharged quickly enough to provide a limit to the voltage, which prevents the voltage from damaging the circuit. The built-in junction capacitance also helps to absorb additional incoming energy, further protecting the circuit. Once the transient voltage has been limited to a safe level, the diode will return to the non-conductive state.

Conclusion

The MXLPLAD36KP350CA offers excellent protection from destructive voltage transients. It has a low capacitance value for use in high-frequency data lines and the built-in avalanche breakdown mechanism for effective protection. As such, the MXLPLAD36KP350CA is an ideal choice for use in a wide range of applications, from discrete components to full-fledged circuit protection.
