The MXLSMCG6.5CAE3 is a unidirectional device that is used in a variety of demanding applications. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the MXLSMCG6.5CAE3.

Application Field

The MXLSMCG6.5CAE3 is suitable for use in equipment and systems that may be exposed to severe electrical transients such as electric vehicles, home applications, solar power systems. Its high ESD rating makes it suitable for protection of high-frequency data lines, including Ethernet, USB, HDMI, and other communication lines. The device also has excellent clamping capability, good transient absorbing characteristics and low capacitance values. Its ESD performance, lightning strike, and fast response time make the MXLSMCG6.5CAE3 ideal for protecting vulnerable components in harsh environments.

Working Principle

The MXLSMCG6.5CAE3 is a type of unidirectional TVS diode and works on a different principle than the traditional silicon avalanche diode. In comparison to the traditional silicon diode, unidirectional TVS diodes are capable of withstanding higher voltages. The MXLSMCG6.5CAE3 is designed as a low capacitance device to decrease the device’s response time and also reduce the affect on the signal. The device is rated for a peak pulse power of 6.5 kilowatts (kW) and is designed to clamp at a 7.5V maximum on a 5V DC bias. The device is also designed to maintain lower clamping voltages under conditions of repetitive transients from surge versus traditional Voltage Variable Devices (VVTs). The MXLSMCG6.5CAE3 is characterized by its low capacitance, fast response time, and low insertion loss. The device also offers excellent ESD protection with a peak working voltage of +/- 27 dBm and a maximum ESD rating of 15kV without failure.
