TVS - Diodes are mostly used in protecting vulnerable circuits from potential damage caused by sudden transients occuring in the applied voltage. Indirectly, TVS - Diodes can also prevent device/circuit failure due to current overload and some other electrical conditions. The MXPLAD15KP15CAE3 is a TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) with 15KV bi-directional peak pulse power capabilities, based on a 6.5mm*6.5mm*1.5mm chip size package.

Application field

The MXPLAD15KP15CAE3 are suitable for use in a variety of fields, including industrial, automotive, consumer and telecom, in which protection against overvoltage transients is required. For example, consumer electronics like laptop adaptors, cell phone chargers and LCD displays need some type of protection to reduce potential overvoltage. This kind of failure can be prevented with the installation of TVS - Diodes.

In automotive, the MXPLAD15KP15CAE3 provides high level of reverse ESD protection, integrated solutions for external protection needs, and 12V protection against dropouts and power surges, all while maintaining a small package size. In industrial applications, the MXPLAD15KP15CAE3 can protect communication lines including RS232, HST, signal lines against transient induced noises due to electrostatic discharges and surges.

Working Principle

The MXPLAD15KP15CAE3 is based on the Zener diode principle. This type of diode is triggered by an external voltage spike and is designed to “clamp” the current flow by creating a reverse-biased junction. The need for protection from high voltage transients is due to the possibility of damaging sensitive elements or destroying devices that lack the capability to withstanding high voltage transients.

The MXPLAD15KP15CAE3 has a Reverse Stand-off Voltage of 15kV (there are other models with different Reverse Stand-off Voltage, depending on customer’s need). When a voltage spike occurs, a small amount of current flows in a reverse fashion through the diode, thus protecting the device being shielded. The power the diode can withstand is also an important parameter. The MXPLAD15KP15CAE3 can withstand pulses of up to 15KV, which is plenty of power handling capacity for most common electronic applications.

When compared with older design technology, the MXPLAD15KP15CAE3 provides a significant improvement in power handling, package size, and temperature range, making it the perfect choice for high voltage protection needs. With an operating temperature range between –40 to +85°C, the MXPLAD15KP15CAE3 are suitable for a wide range of industrial, automotive and consumer applications.

Conclusion

In conclusion, for applications requiring protection from high voltage transients, the MXPLAD15KP15CAE3 offers an excellent solution. It has a reverse Stand-off Voltage of 15kV, bi-directional peak pulse power capabilities, and a 6.5mm*6.5mm*1.5mm chip size package. The TVS-Diodes cutting-edge protection and small size makes it ideal for a wide range of applications in various fields.
