MXPLAD15KP22CA

TVS diodes are fast reacting protection semiconductor devices. They protect sensitive electronic components from destructive electrical transients such as surges, overvoltages, and ESD. The MXPLAD15KP22CA is a rapidly responding, low capacitance unidirectional transguard with 5 lines of protection. This device provides superior voltage clamping performance over a wide operating range.

General Description

The MXPLAD15KP22CA is an ultra low-capacitance protection device, designed for maximum system noise immunity in high speed video, communications, and mission critical data-transmission circuits. It is available in an easy-to-use surface mount SM5 package. Its ultra-low capacitance channel improves high speed performance in components like digital cameras, modems, and DVRs. It is self-triggering and does not need complicated external circuitry to offer unprecedented protection.

Application Fields

The MXPLAD15KP22CA is ideally suited for applications such as: usb 2.0, HDMI, IEEE 1394, Displayport, Serial ATA, and other I/O ports. It offers superior voltage clamping in a wide range of operating conditions, suitable for consumer electronics, automotive, telecommunications, industrial, and medical applications. The device provides broad protection against spikes, surges, and ESD events.

Working Principle

The MXPLAD15KP22CA utilizes a low-capacitance diode array with a proprietary Integrated ESD (IESD) structure. This structure allows rapid responding but low clamping voltage. When a transient signal appears on the protected pins, the device quickly clamps its peak voltage below the designed voltage level, helping to protect the sensitive circuitry. The MXPLAD15KP22CA provides up to 5 lines of protection and allows for an easy implementation on either dual layer or single layer boards.

Conclusion

The MXPLAD15KP22CA is an ultra-low-capacitance protection device, designed for maximum system noise immunity in high speed video, communications, and mission critical data-transmission circuits. It quickly clamps and dissipates large transient voltages, and protects sensitive circuits from damage due to spikes, surges, and ESD events, making it an ideal solution for consumer electronics, automotive, telecommunications, industrial, and medical applications.
