MXP6KE39CAE3 Circuit Protection

Application Field Of MXP6KE39CAE3

MXP6KE39CAE3 provides excellent protection from transient voltages (caused by Electrostatic Discharge or ESD) and power induction. It is mostly used in mobile phones, PDA\'s, digital cameras, game consoles, handhelds and other hot pluggable portable devices. Apart from these, MXP6KE39CAE3 is also used in automotive and industrial applications.MXP6KE39CAE3 has the ability to dissipate power as high as 600 watts and peak pulse power as high as 4.5KV. This makes it suitable for suppressing higher voltage transients. It also has a fast response time that can reduce residual voltage levels and the possibility of voltage overshoot. This, in turn, provides more comprehensive protection against harmful high energy transients.

Working Principle of MXP6KE39CAE3

MXP6KE39CAE3 is a Silicon Avalanche Diode (SAD). The diode has a single C-plane mounted N-type CdSe avalanche diode and a molded package for electrical connection. When a large voltage spike is applied, the avalanche breakdown of current is created due to impact ionization resulting from electrons and holes that have been generated in the CdSe material. These avalanche breakdown helps to reduce the destructive ESD transients that can cause failure of sensitive electronic components.Furthermore, the diode also works to provide protection against power induction, which is when powerful currents are induced into sensitive electronics from nearby sources of power. Apart from these protection features, MXP6KE39CAE3 also features a fast response time and low operating capacitance, which helps to reduce the amount of transient voltage and reduces the possibility of voltage overshoot.
