MXLRT100KP43CAE3 is widely used for the over-voltage protection of high speed data line in fields such as mobile phone, PDA, digital camera, digital video disc player, iPod, laptop computer, PDAs and tablet computers.

Working Principle

MXLRT100KP43CAE3 is a unidirectional TVS diode. It is a fast response diode that can suppress voltage transients of any polarity. The device prevents electrostatic discharge, inductive switching, lightning, surge, and over-voltage surge damage to sensitive electronic components during voltage overshoot. The MXLRT100KP43CAE3 provides full protection for sensitive components through its integral ESD protection, low leakage current, low capacitance and low clamping voltage.

When a transient sufficient to cause damage is applied, the diode will clamp the transient to a safe level. Since the clamping voltage depends on a number of factors, such as the power dissipation, component size and type, it is important to choose the right TVS diode for the application.

The MXLRT100KP43CAE3 is a low capacitance, ultra low capacitance TVS diode. It provides fast response, low leakage current, low capacitance and low clamping voltage, which makes it suitable for ESD, inductive switching and lightning protection.

The MXLRT100KP43CAE3 is also designed for the protection of high speed data lines. This device can provide protection against voltage transients even in high frequency applications. It also features an integrated thermal runaway protection to make sure that it does not get damaged in case of over-heating.

Conclusion

MXLRT100KP43CAE3 is a unidirectional TVS diode specifically designed for the protection of sensitive electronics from over-voltage transients. It provides fast response, low leakage current, low capacitance and low clamping voltage, making it ideal for applications like ESD, inductive switching and lightning protection, as well as the protection of high speed data lines.
