TVS - Diodes are semiconductor devices designed to protect electrical systems against various types of electrical transient events such as lightning, power cross, surges, and electrostatic discharge (ESD). The MXPLAD15KP180AE3 is a unidirectional TVS diode designed to protect a wide variety of automotive electronics, computer systems, communications, power supply, and military systems from voltage transients caused by electrical switching or ESD.

The MXPLAD15KP180AE3 has a peak pulse power of 15 KW (KiloWatts) and a breakdown voltage of 180 V. It offers an impressive level of performance: it responds within 1.5 ns (Nanoseconds) to voltage transients and provides up to 37 A of peak avalanche current to suppress and shunt large transients.

The MXPLAD15KP180AE3 is well suited for automotive applications, computer and telecommunications systems, motor control circuits, consumer electronics, and industrial controls. Its high surge capability makes it ideal for protecting against electrical transients caused by lightning and switching operations. Its ESD protection features make it a suitable solution for any application where ESD protection is required.

The MXPLAD15KP180AE3 has a very simple working principle. When a voltage transient causes the voltage across the diode to exceed its breakdown voltage, the diode’s internal PN junction becomes reverse-biased. This triggers an avalanche breakdown, in which holes and electrons are injected into the junction, creating an avalanche of current that immediately diverts the transient current away from the protected equipment and dissipates it as heat.

The MXPLAD15KP180AE3 is an impressive solution for protecting automotive electronics, computer systems, communications systems, power supplies, and military systems against electrical transient voltages. It offers a robust level of protection against both electrical switching transients and ESD and responds quickly, allowing it to shunt away the transient current before it can damage sensitive equipment. The simple working principle of the diode makes it easy to use, and its peak pulse power of 15 KW and breakdown voltage of 180 V allow it to effectively protect against all transients that are within its specified voltage range.
