MXLSMLG45CAE3 Circuit Protection

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diodes are electrical devices used to protect sensitive electrical components from electrical overvoltage. They safeguard these components from transients or spikes in voltage, which can occur from electrical noise, electrostatic discharge, and lightning strikes. The MXLSMLG45CAE3 is a non-polar, low surge voltage, Uni-directional, tri-state TVS diode. It is designed to protect sensitive equipment from lightning-induced peak and ESD pulses, up to 75A at 8/20μs.

Application Field

The MXLSMLG45CAE3 has a wide range of applications. It is particularly suitable for protecting data lines/ports subject to high peak pulse current levels. When connected between a source and a load, the device offers ESD protection of up to ±15kV. It is capable of withstanding voltage levels up to ±60V and is designed for use in high-frequency applications.

In addition, it is also well suited for protecting:

• Networking Equipment
• Telecommunication Systems
• Computers Systems
• Wireless Devices
• Automotive Applications

Working Principle

The working principle of the MXLSMLG45CAE3 is based on the flow of current in one direction, from anode to cathode. When a signal exceeds its holding voltage, the device acts as a closed circuit, allowing current to flow and dissipating the pulse energy. This prevents any permanent damage to the device and any connected components.

The MXLSMLG45CAE3 has a low dynamic resistance, enabling it to dissipate more energy than other diodes in its category. Its low holding voltage also enables it to protect data lines and ports from electrostatic discharge (ESD) of up to ±15kV.

The MXLSMLG45CAE3 is designed to protect against high pulse current levels of up to 75A at 8/20μs. It is also able to withstand voltage levels of up to ±60V. Thanks to its design, it can provide reliable protection against common ESD and lightning-induced pulse surges.

Due to its wide range of features, the MXLSMLG45CAE3 is a reliable, cost-effective solution for protecting sensitive components from electrical overvoltage.
