Microchip MXLLCE22AE3

DESCRIPTION

This high-reliability plastic encapsulated Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode series for thru-hole mounting includes a rectifier diode element in series and in the opposite direction. This allows it to present a very low (< 100 pF) capacitance to the system it is protecting (see Figure 2). The low capacitance of these devices makes them particularly useful for protecting lines carrying high frequency signals. They are also useful in protecting from the secondary effects of lightning in airborne avionics per IEC61000-4-5, RTCA/DO-160G, and ARINC 429. If bidirectional transient capability is required, two of these low capacitance TVS devices may be used in parallel and opposite directions (anti-parallel) for complete ac protection.

FEATURES

• High reliability with fabrication and assembly lot traceability.
• All devices are 100% surge tested.

• Suppresses transients up to 1500 watts @10/1000μs (see Figure 1).
• Working standoff voltage (VWM) range 6.5 V to 170 V.
• 5% and 10% tolerance options available
• Clamps transients in less than 100 pico seconds.*
• 3σ lot norm screening performed on standby current ID.
• Moisture classification is level 1 with no dry pack required per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B.
• Screening options available in reference to MIL-PRF-19500. See Part Nomenclature below for all available options, and to our Hi-Rel Non-Hermetic Products brochure on our web site for more details.
• RoHS compliant versions available.
