The MXLPLAD36KP60A is usually classified as a type of transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode, which is generally used for protecting sensitive devices from voltage transients caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD), peripheral cable strike, and lightning or cable plugging and unplugging. These devices have become increasingly important in recent years as component densities and integration levels have increased and equipment more susceptible to ESD and other electrical overstress. Here, we will look at the application field and working principle of MXLPLAD36KP60A to get a better understanding of it.

The application field of MXLPLAD36KP60A is relatively extensive, which is widely used in a wide range of applications that require electrical protection such as automotive systems, consumer electronics, power supplies, and portable equipment. It is also suitable for protecting sensitive components from accidental voltage transients, such as when a power supply is turned off. This device can provide a stand-off voltage of 8.2 VDC, surge current capability of 36 kA (8/20 μs), and a peak pulse power rating of 60 W. It is also available in three packages including a surface mount SO-8, leaded ChipFET-US, and leaded ChipFET-LF. This makes it a very versatile device.

As for the working principle of the MXLPLAD36KP60A, it is designed to function as a "crowbar" switch that is triggered if the voltage on the device exceeds the breakdown voltage of the component. When this occurs, the device will switch from a low resistance state to a high resistance state, thus diverting the current away from the sensitive component. This helps to protect the component from over-voltage events. The device is also designed to withstand many repeated events, which is important as many components can be subjected to multiple transient voltage events over the course of their service life. This device also provides the advantage of lower capacitance compared to other TVS devices, which is important in applications where ESD immunity is required.

In conclusion, the MXLPLAD36KP60A is a transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode that is typically employed to protect sensitive components from voltage transients caused by ESD, peripheral cable strike, and lightning or cable plugging and unplugging. It has a relatively wide range of application fields, a stand-off voltage of 8.2 VDC, and is available in three different packages. The device functions as a “crowbar” switch and when triggered, the device switches from a low resistance state to a high resistance state in order to divert harmful current away from the sensitive components. This device also offers the advantage of lower capacitance compared to other TVS devices for applications requiring ESD immunity.
