MXPLAD7.5KP11A Circuit Protection

TVS Diodes refer to Transient Voltage Suppressors which are protective devices meant to limit or protect electrical or electronic equipment from suffering damage due to over-voltage transients. The MXPLAD7.5KP11A is a device in this category.

This particular model is an ultra low capacitance diode array designed to provide protection against lightning induced surges, on contact lines and signal lines. It works by clamping these transient voltage with its own input capacitance.

The MXPLAD7.5KP11A is a dual-line protection device which is perfect for a wide range of embedded system applications such as Automotive, Computer, Telecommunications, and Consumer Electronics. Some of the common applications it covers are Portable Equipment, industrial, Telecom, Data storage, mobile phones and other Application Specific Industrial designs.

The device\'s working principle is based on Junction Barrier Schottky (JBS) technology. It works by providing a low capacitance path to ground for transient energies. This means that relative to traditional diode protection devices, this device has much faster switching times, hence providing better protection to sensitive electronics. It also has a low temperature coefficient and low leakage current.

The maximum allowed reverse voltage of the device is 5.5 volts, while the peak pulse power for an 8/20 μs pulse is 1500 W. The device comes with a maximum working frequency of 4.5GHz. It has an attenuation of upto 40dB and a maximum Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 1.4.

The Diode\'s insulation level is 2000V, making it suitable for 1.05KV lines. The device has a maximum clamping voltage of 18V, and a maximum clamping current 9A.

This device is RoHS compliant, with no lead and mercury content. It is available in a 3-pin package with an Operational Temperature range between -55ºC and 125ºC. The MXPLAD7.5KP11A is offered in 100 pieces per reeled tape and has a minimum order quantity of 2000 pieces.

In conclusion, the MXPLAD7.5KP11A is a fast-responding low-capacitance diode array, broadly used in embedded system applications. Its fast switching time makes it an excellent choice for protecting sensitive electronic components from transient voltage surges.
