A Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) diode is a type of diode that helps protect the connected electronics device from electrical overstress. It is especially useful in applications where the supply voltage could change drastically or where there might be an occurrence of an ESD event. One such device is the MXSMLG160CA, which is a unidirectional TVS diode with peak power of 160 Watts and Voltage of 15.9 Volts.

The MXSMLG160CA is particularly suited for applications that require overvoltage protection for both positive and negative transients. Its small package size and low profile make it especially suitable for use in portable equipments including cellular phones, CAM, PDAs and tablet PCs. It can be used wherever there is a possibility of electrical overstress whether caused by electrostatic discharge, inductive loads, switching transients, electrical surges, or static electricity. Moreover, the MXSMLG160CA is RoHS compliant, which ensures a high level of environmental safety.

The working principle of the MXSMLG160CA is based on a voltage-variable breakdown mechanism. When the source voltage exceeds the Peak Power Rating (PPR) value of the diode, the body diode enters the active conduction state. This turns the diode into a low impedance path which helps limit the peak voltage across the circuit and dissipates the stored energy in the form of heat. The energy is drained from the device through heat transfer mechanism through its casing. It is important to ensure adequate cooling since the MXSMLG160CA can dissipate up to 160 Watts.

The MXSMLG160CA is equipped with a number of features that are designed to provide superior performance and reliability. It features a low capacitance region for overvoltage protection, avalanche breakdown rating for high surge protection, soft recovery for ESD protection and a temperature independent breakdown voltage that ensures accuracy in different temperatures. The diode also has a low voltage threshold, which is especially useful in situations where the source voltage is very low. Furthermore, the diode has an ultra low Remote Arcing Index (Rai) which reduces the risk of sparking and provides superior protection under high temperature conditions.

In summary, the MXSMLG160CA Transient Voltage Suppression diode is best suited for applications that require overvoltage protection. Its small package size and low profile, as well as its high power rating and low capacitance, make it an ideal choice for portable equipments that need reliable protection from electrical overstress. It provides superior protection against Electrostatic Discharge, inductive loads, switching transients, and other forms of electrical overstress. Furthermore, its low voltage threshold and ultra-low Remote Arcing Index help ensure superior performance even under harsh environmental conditions.
