TVS - Diodes

TVS - Diodes are one of the most important components in today’s modern electrical systems. These components are used to protect sensitive electronic components from transient over voltage events caused by lightning, electrostatic discharge and other sources. The MXPLAD36KP100A is a TVS Diode specifically designed for application to data and signal lines. It is a powerful and reliable component designed to protect sensitive data lines from damaging voltage transients.

Application Field

The MXPLAD36KP100A’s main application fields are mainly related to data and signal lines, base on its maximum nominal clamping voltage at 400W peak pulse power (400W for 8/20μs). The MXPLAD36KP100A can be used in wide range of devices such as smartphones, PCs, LCD panels, automotive or Ethernet systems and so on. Furthermore, due to its power rating, it can also be used in other application fields such as low-side gate drive protection and reverse bias protection for avalanche and Zener diodes.

Working Principle

The MXPLAD36KP100A is a Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode. A TVS diode is a three-lead, bidirectional diode composed of a PN junction. When an over voltage occurs, a TVS diode will conduct current much like a conventional diode. This allows the MXPLAD36KP100A to divert current away from a sensitive component, thus protecting it from being damaged by the over voltage event. The maximum forward current that can be conducted by the diode is known as the Peak Pulse Power – in this case, it is 400W. The voltage at which the diode will begin to conduct is known as the Peak Pulse Voltage, and the MXPLAD36KP100A has a maximum Peak Pulse Voltage of 100V.

In addition, the MXPLAD36KP100A also has a Reverse Stand-Off Voltage of 36V. This is the voltage at which the diode will begin to conduct when Voltage is applied in the reverse direction. When the voltage exceeds 36V, the diode will conduct current and protect the sensitive component from harm.

Conclusion

The MXPLAD36KP100A is a powerful and reliable TVS Diode that is specifically designed for application to data and signal lines. Its maximum peak pulse power of 400W make it suitable for a wide range of application fields, such as smartphones, PCs, LCD panels, automotive and Ethernet systems, as well as low-side gate drive protection and reverse bias protection for avalanche and Zener diodes. Furthermore, its Peak Pulse Voltage rating of 100V and Reverse Stand-Off Voltage of 36V make it an ideal choice for protecting sensitive components from over voltage events.
