Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) based on semiconductors are a type of structural protection devices used in varieties of electronic and electrical devices to protect circuits against overvoltage transients. The specific type of TVS is widely used as a transient protection component for various electrical systems due to its good surge protection capabilities – this is the MXPLAD18KP36AE3 TVS diode. In this article, we will discuss the application field and working principle of this TVS diode.

Application field

Since the MXPLAD18KP36AE3 Transient Voltage Suppressors are made of a semiconductor material, they are called transient voltage suppressor diodes. The application fields are mainly including the automotive, communications, consumer, industrial, and medical markets, etc. It can be used for protection of the power supply circuit from DC transients on input and output side of the circuit. It can also be used for protection of the signal line, and pulse line circuits. In addition, MXPLAD18KP36AE3 diodes are widely used in RF protection, communication and data transmission systems.

Working Principle

The working principle of MXPLAD18KP36AE3 Transient Voltage Suppressors is quite simple. They are designed to protect from surges and overvoltage conditions. When the voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage of the TVS diode, the diode is switched on and conducts the current through its own P-N junction, thereby protecting the other devices in the circuit. The P-N junction of the TVS diode provides a high density trench field and is designed to be very reliable in order to provide a higher breakdown voltage. When the voltage at the P-N junction exceeds the breakdown voltage of the device, the current flows through the device and protects the circuit from the overvoltage.

In addition, due to its high power dissipating capabilities, the MXPLAD18KP36AE3 Transient Voltage Suppressors is used as a protection against high voltage transients or unexpected current surges. The maximum power dissipation of the device is 18KW. It has an operating temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and an insulation resistance of up to 1000MΩ. The peak surge current rating of the device is limited by the power dissipation factor. The current rating of the device is between 1mA and 36A.
