MXLSMBJSAC5.0E3 Circuit Protection

TVS - Diodes

Transient Voltage Suppressing Diodes, better known as TVS Diodes, are electronic components used to protect sensitive electronics from Voltage Transients. Voltage transients are sudden, often unwanted, increases and decreases in voltage that can put stress on the electronics, possibly damaging or even destroying them. These spikes and transients can come from a variety of sources including lightning strikes, momentary power interruptions, or from electrostatic discharge. TVS diodes are designed to clamp the voltage that passes through them, within a certain safe range, maintaining voltage operations for the actual application.

MXLSMBJSAC5.0E3 Application Field and Working Principle

The MXLSMBJSAC5.0E3 is a transient voltage suppression diode array specifically designed for high reliability applications in the automotive and industrial sector. This diode array is designed to help protect against transients generated during switching, ESD, and circuit protection from over voltage applications. The MXLSMBJSAC5.0E3 application field covers overvoltage protection of automotive communication systems. Some typical automotive application areas include CAN bus systems, airbag systems and electronic control units (ECUs).

Working principle wise, the array will clamp the voltage signals that exceed the breakdown voltage after a specified operation time. This high speed clamping action will absorb the generated waveforms and help suppress noise and other unwanted signals on the line. The array is also designed to be bidirectional so it can protect against both ESD, power surges, as well as other transient voltage signals.

The MXLSMBJSAC5.0E3’s built-in features include low capacitance, low ESD clamping voltages, low dynamic resistance (Ron), and fast response time (< 5 ns). These features ensure that the diode array can act as a reliable protection device against transients while maintaining the line signals over a wide frequency range. The diode array also comes in a compact space-saving package and has a rated power of 15W.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the MXLSMBJSAC5.0E3 is a transient voltage suppression diode array designed for high reliability applications, such as automotive communication systems in the automotive and industrial sectors. The diode array is designed to help protect against transients generated during switching, ESD, and circuit protection from over voltage applications. It features low capacitance, low ESD clamping voltages, low dynamic resistance (Ron) and fast response time (< 5 ns) for additional protection against voltage transients.
