Transient voltage suppressing diodes, or TVS diodes, are specialized diodes designed to protect electronic circuits from voltage increases. In particular, the MXLSMCJ85A is a power surface mount transient voltage suppressor diode intended for automotive applications. This TVS diode is designed to provide protection from electrostatic discharge (ESD), circuit malfunction caused by overvoltage, and similar events. Additionally, MXLSMCJ85A is designed with a low resistance to allow for minimal voltage drop in normal operations.

Operating Conditions of the MXLSMCJ85A

The MXLSMCJ85A has an operating temperature range of -55°C to 150°C. On the other hand, its Power Deviation Maximum (PDM) reaches a maximum pulse current of 100A. This allows the diode to limit overvoltages with minimal circuit disruption. As a result, the MXLSMCJ85A can handle high-voltage spikes while ensuring continuous operation in the circuit. In addition, the diode supports repetitive peak pulse power of 320W. This allows it to limit pulse currents of up to 26A for a 10/1000 μs pulse width.

Application of MXLSMCJ85A

The MXLSMCJ85A diode is best suited for use in automotive electronics. This type of diode is heavily used in automotive application circuits to provide protection from transient voltage. It provides general-purpose protection from ESD and other electrical overstress events that can damage circuits or cause circuit malfunctions. The MXLSMCJ85A is frequently used to protect body electronics, engine controllers, lighting, and other circuits that are particularly susceptible to ESD.

Working Principle of MXLSMCJ85A

TVS diodes such as the MXLSMCJ85A are designed with a specifically low dynamic resistance. This low resistance is required so that the diode can limit the transient voltage without introducing too much additional voltage drop into the circuit. Essentially, when the circuit voltage exceeds a predetermined threshold, the diode clamp the voltage back to its original level. This ensures that the circuit is not exposed to a higher than rated voltage, thus preventing circuit malfunctions.

To protect a device from electrical overstress, the MXLSMCJ85A will reduce the input voltage to a safe level. Specifically, the diode will divert the input current when the voltage rises above a predetermined threshold. Since the current is diverted from the circuit, the voltage is limited and the circuit remains protect. This mechanism ensures that the device remains safe and functional from overvoltage or ESD events.

Conclusion

The MXLSMCJ85A is a TVS diode designed to protect automotive electronics from voltage surges, ESD, and other transient events. It was designed with a low dynamic resistance to limit the voltage drop in normal operations and a high peak pulse power of 320W. The diode can be used in automotive applications to protect circuits from electrical overstress and ensure continuous operation in the event of transient voltage increases.
