MXP5KE6.5AE3

MXP5KE6.5AE3, a part of the TVS - Diodes group, is a high speed expandable TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) component with a breakdown voltage of 6.5V. It is capable of protecting electrical and electronic items from overvoltage, electrostatic discharge, and induction lines. This product offers protection from HBM (Human Body Model) up to 6kV.

The key features of MXP5KE6.5AE3 are its low capacitance of <00.7pF (capacitance of a single device) and its compact size of <0.3mm x 0.3mm x 0.4mm. The MXP5KE6.5AE3 offers fast response times of <8ns at 8x20us pulse widths.

This device has several potential application fields. Its fast response times and low capacitance combine to make it ideal for protection of high speed signal lines, such as those found in mobile and PC peripherals. Additionally, its compact size and high breakdown voltage make it suitable for use in high speed data lines, such as those found in automotive and medical industries.

The working principle of MXP5KE6.5AE3 is based on the Zener diode voltage reference principle. A Zener diode is a power diode with a very high reverse breakdown voltage. The Zener diode is used to regulate the voltage across a circuit, thus preventing spikes and surges from occurring. When an overvoltage occurs, the Zener diode conducts current in the reverse direction, thereby protecting the system from overvoltage.

The device is typically used in a two-stage system. In the first stage, the input voltage is compared with the breakdown voltage of the MXP5KE6.5AE3. If the input voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage, then the device begins to conduct current in the reverse direction. This reduces the breakdown voltage of the device, thus providing fast and efficient protection.

In the second stage, the current is diverted away from the system. This prevents the overvoltage from causing physical damage to the system. The MXP5KE6.5AE3 can handle extreme overvoltage conditions, as it can withstand reverse breakdown voltages of up to 6.5V. This is why it is suitable for use in many applications, such as automotive and medical, where high voltage protection is critical.

The MXP5KE6.5AE3 is a highly useful component for electrical systems. It can provide fast response times, low capacitance and high breakdown voltage, making it suitable for use in many systems. Its two-stage protection system ensures that overvoltage events do not cause physical damage to electronic items.
