MXPLAD15KP10CA Application Field and Working Principle

Introduction to TVS Diodes

TVS diode or Transient Voltage Suppressor diodes are a widely used component in many different electronic circuits. TVS diodes are used for protection against harmful voltage spikes and surges that can damage other components such as transistors, processors, and ICs. A TVS diode has a break or switching threshold where it starts conducting current when the voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage. When the breakdown voltage is exceeded the TVS diode will clamp the voltage at a safe level allowing the protected device to continue to operate without damage.

MXPLAD15KP10CA Application Field

The MXPLAD15KP10CA is a Surface Mount Zener Diode TVS for Automotive Applications. It is used in the automotive industry for power line protection circuits. The MXPLAD15KP10CA is a very fast bi-directional diode that has an operating voltage of 16V Maximum. It has a low clamping voltage of 11.45V @ IPP = 1.5A and a clamping voltage of 15KV @ IPP=50A. It also has an operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Working Principle of MXPLAD15KP10CA

The working principle of the MXPLAD15KP10CA is based on the breakdown voltage of the diode junction. When the voltage rises beyond the breakdown voltage of the diode, the diode conducts a large amount of current from its anode to its cathode. This current then, clamps the voltage at a safe level.The MXPLAD15KP10CA also has an avalanche breakdown voltage which helps to provide higher transient current and lower clamping voltage. The Avalanche breakdown voltage is the voltage at which a large amount of current can flow through the diode junction. This current helps to further clamp the voltage at a safe level.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the MXPLAD15KP10CA is a widely used transient voltage suppressor diode used in the automotive industry for power line protection circuits. Its working principle is based on the breakdown voltage and avalanche breakdown voltage of the diode. These two values help to provide higher transient current and lower clamping voltage which ensures the safety of the components in the circuit.
