A Transient Voltage Suppression Diode (TVS) is a device that absorbs transient voltage surges and diverts the surge current away from vulnerable components. The MXLSMCGLCE13A is a common TVS device that offers an extensive protection suite for portable electronics. It is designed to suppress ESD events up to IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 (±15kV air and 8kV contact discharge) and to limit surge current up to 20A.

The MXLSMCGLCE13A is a low capacitance, low-leakage diode with an operating voltage of up to 13V DC and a peak pulse power rating of 150W. It acts as a fast electronic switch, clamping high voltages and limiting inrush current when subjected to transient events. It is a versatile device that can be used in automotive applications like infotainment systems, advanced driver assistance systems, head units, inline network protection and sensor interface protection.

The MXLSMCGLCE13A offers excellent ESD protection and surpasses the requirements of IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4, providing a maximum clamping voltage of only 14V. It is also a very robust device with excellent clamping and low capacitance performance over time, temperature and voltage. Additionally, it offers superior surge handling capability and low leakage current, allowing it to handle larger transient overloads.

The working principle of the MXLSMCGLCE13A is based on the voltage-clamping mechanism. The devices have an internal breakdown voltage, which is the voltage at which the device starts to conduct electric current. When subjected to a transiting voltage, this voltage is compared to the breakdown voltage, and if it is larger, the device starts to conduct the electric current, thus providing surge protection.

The protection effect of MXLSMCGLCE13A is dependent on the material used in the device\'s dielectric layer. This dielectric layer acts as an insulator when there is no transient voltage surge, but when it is exposed to an electric field that is strong enough to cause an avalanche breakdown of the oxide layer, the device will start to conduct current, thus providing the required protection.

The MXLSMCGLCE13A is a robust low-leakage, low capacitance diode that offers an extensive protection suite for portable electronics. It offers superior ESD protection of up to IEC61000-4-2 Level 4, and is capable of handling surge currents up to 20A. Additionally, its voltage-clamping mechanism and dielectric layer make it an ideal choice for applications such as infotainment systems, head units and inline network protection.
