MXRT100KP120CAE3

Transient-voltage-suppression (TVS) diodes are components that protect sensitive electronics from the destructive effects of transients caused by electrical overstress (EOS) and electrostatic discharge (ESD). The MXRT100KP120CAE3 is a special type of TVS diode specifically designed to protect sensitive electronics from overvoltage transients. It has a capacitive snubberless design which helps to reduce EMI and filter out the high frequency components of the transient waveforms.

Application Field and Working Principle

The MXRT100KP120CAE3 is a specific TVS diode used in high speed signal applications such as LAN/CAN/ASTP/High speed USB. It can protect against the destructive effects of EOS, ESD, and lightning. It uses a capacitive snubberless design with an inherently fast response time and low capacitance. The snubberless design helps to reduce EMI and filter out the high frequency components of the transient waveform. Its operating range is 40 V DC to 100 V DC. Its peak pulse power is 2000 W and its reverse leakage current is 5 mA.

The MXRT100KP120CAE3 works through the principle of voltage clamping. When a voltage transient is detected, the device will start to conduct current, diverting the high voltage away from the application and clamping the voltage at a safe level. This allows the device to protect sensitive electronics from voltage spikes and high frequency transients. It also ensures that the overvoltage will not exceed the maximum rating of the application.

The device also offers overvoltage protection against high voltage spikes by clamping between 618V (typical value) and 748V (max) during high voltage pulses. The device features low clamping voltage, high peak pulse power, low capacitance, and high ESD performance. It can help to reduce power supply noise, protecting both the board and the data lines.

In conclusion, the MXRT100KP120CAE3 is an important type of TVS diode used to protect sensitive electronics from voltage transient and high frequency spikes. Its capacitive snubberless design helps to reduce EMI and offer overvoltage protection, while its low capacitance and high peak pulse power ensures a fast and reliable protection against voltage transients and ESD.
