Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) are common devices found in electronic circuits for the protection of sensitive electronics. The most widely used type of TVS is the diode, which acts as an electronic switch that only allows current to travel in one direction, thereby limiting the current that is allowed to pass through the circuit. In this article, we will discuss the MXRT100KP400A, a TVS diode, and its application field and working principle.

Application Field

The MXRT100KP400A TVS diode is specifically designed to protect sensitive electronic circuits and components from over-voltage transients and surges. This type of diode is used mostly in consumer electronics such as laptops, cell phones, and other portable devices. The MXRT100KP400A can also be implemented to protect circuit boards in industrial applications, including medical equipment and automotive electronics. This type of diode is also used to protect delicate components from electrostatic discharge, as it can quickly clamp the voltage to a safe level.

Working Principle

The MXRT100KP400A is a unidirectional TVS diode, meaning it only allows current to travel in one direction. When an over-voltage transient occurs, the diode quickly switches from its high impedance off-state to its low impedance on-state, essentially acting as a short circuit. This switchover is done so quickly that it limits the maximum current that can pass through the circuit, which prevents the over-voltage from damaging the sensitive electronics. The diode then returns to its high impedance off-state as soon as the over-voltage transient has been clamped. After the transient has passed, the diode will remain in its off-state until it is triggered again by another over-voltage transient.

Conclusion

TVS diodes are widely used for the protection of sensitive electronic circuits and components from over-voltage transients and surges. The MXRT100KP400A is a form of this type of diode which is used inconsumer electronics,medical equipment, and automotive electronics. This diode has a unidirectional design which switches from its high impedance off-state to its low impedance on-state, allowing it to quickly limit current and prevent over-voltage damage. This device is an effective solution for protecting delicate components from electrostatic discharge as well.
