TVS (Transient Voltage Suppression) Diodes keep electronic devices safe from voltage spikes. The MXPLAD18KP15CA is a bidirectional TVS diode designed to protect medium-power systems. Typical applications include protecting microcontrollers, TTL lines, controllers, and FPGAs used in automotive, industrial, telecommunication, computer, and consumer equipment.

The MXPLAD18KP15CA has fast response time and is rated to handle up to 18kW of input power (60V/3000A) pulse, which makes it suitable for protecting relatively large power systems. Its working voltage (breakdown voltage) ranges between 15V to 20V, depending on temperature and device type. It is also made with lead-free terminations, making it RoHS-compliant.

The working principle of the MXPLAD18KP15CA is based on avalanche breakdown. When a voltage pulse much higher than the breakdown voltage is present, an avalanche effect occurs in the diode and reduces the voltage of the pulse, making the system resistant to the voltage spike. The device is usually connected with the anode maintained at least 3V higher than the cathode in order to ensure it is active and ready to act upon voltage spikes.

A common connection for the MXPLAD18KP15CA is the dual-line ESD protection. It is also an excellent solution for pulse protection for multi-line interfaces or systems. When the system is powered off, the device blocks the current, further protecting the system. The mounting type is surface-mount, making it easy and convenient to install the device.

The MXPLAD18KP15CA is designed for use in automotive, industrial, networking, and consumer applications. It can withstand up to 18kW of power and has a working voltage range of 15V to 20V. Its fast response time and RoHS-compliant terminations make it a reliable solution for protecting sensitive systems from voltage spikes. Its common connection type is dual-line ESD protection and it is mounted using a surface-mount method.
