MXRT100KP350CAE3

Transient voltage suppressors (TVS) are widely used in many electronic devices to protect sensitive circuits against electrical overstress (EOS). TVS diodes, sometimes referred to as surge protection diodes, are an important component of TVS arrays. The MXRT100KP350CAE3 is a TVS diode designed to provide up to 350 Watts of surge protection. This article will discuss the applications of the MXRT100KP350CAE3, its features, and its working principle.

Applications

The MXRT100KP350CAE3 is ideal for a variety of applications, including power supply, industrial, telecom, and computer protection. The device is designed for use as an overvoltage transient suppressor and is suitable for both AC and DC operation. It can be used to protect power supplies, industrial electronics, telecom equipment, computers, and IT equipment from overvoltage EOS. Additionally, the MXRT100KP350CAE3 is an ideal solution for protecting hard drives, digital and analog transmission lines, and satellite dishes from EOS.

Features

The MXRT100KP350CAE3 features an ultra-low capacitance of 3.5 pF, making it ideal for applications requiring a low capacitance transient protection solution. It also has a fast response time of less than 1 ns, allowing for reliable protection against EOS events. The device is rated for up to 350 Watts of surge protection and has a surge current rating of 100 KA. Additionally, it has an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and is rated for dissipating up to 350 Watts of energy.

Working Principle

The MXRT100KP350CAE3 works by suppressing EOS events with its ultra-fast response time and transient voltage protection capabilities. When an EOS event occurs, the device will clamp the incoming voltage to a safe level, preventing the voltage from damaging sensitive components. This is achieved through the use of an integrated Zener diode in the device. The presence of the Zener diode allows for the device to provide both clamping and current suppression functions. Thus, the MXRT100KP350CAE3 can protect sensitive components from both overvoltage and overcurrent EOS events.

Conclusion
