MXP4KE6.8A application field and working principle

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppression) diodes are unidirectional semiconductor devices used in protecting sensitive electronic components and systems from electrical over surge disturbances. The MXP4KE6.8A is a 600W transient voltage suppressor diode capable of providing efficient over voltage protection and ESD (electrostatic discharge) suppression for sensitive electronic devices in automotive and industrial applications.

Field of application:

MXP4KE6.8A TVS diodes can be used in the following automotive and industrial applications to prevent damage to sensitive electronic components from over voltage transients and ESD:

• Low side and High side SW in Automotive applications
• Board level protection of low power drivers
• Industrial control systems
• Telecommunications equipment
• Medical devices
• Battery-operated electronics

Working principle of the MXP4KE6.8A:

The MXP4KE6.8A is an avalanche diode featuring a majority-carrier device. It has a forward-voltage drop of 5V, a reverse-leakage current of 0.1mA, and a peak power dissipation rating of 600W. When the diodes are exposed to an over voltage that exceeds 6.8V, the internal structure of the diode changes and enters the avalanche region. In this delicate region, electron-hole pairs are formed by the relaxation of the electric field, thereby providing a high-speed response and reducing the voltage that appears across the diode. Thus, the MXP4KE6.8A ensures the protection of sensitive electronic components from overvoltage, ESD, and other transient voltage disturbances.

Conclusion:

The MXP4KE6.8A is a state-of-the-art TVS diode used in automotive and industrial applications to provide protection against overvoltage, ESD, and other transient voltage disturbances. It is an avalanche diode that features a 5V forward voltage drop and a 0.1mA reverse leakage current, along with a peak power dissipation rating of 600W. Thus, the MXP4KE6.8A is an ideal choice for protecting sensitive electronic components in a wide range of applications.
