Microsemi's new transient voltage suppression diode protects aircraft electrical systems from damage caused by dangerous lightning strikes

6.5kW and 7.5kW solutions are also suitable for other demanding aviation, military, automotive and industrial applications

Microsemi CorporaTIon (NYSE: MSCC), a leading supplier of power management, safety, reliability and high performance semiconductor technology products, has released two new plastic large area devices (plasTIc large area device, PLAD) Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) diode products to protect aircraft electrical systems from destructive transient lightning strikes The new 6.5kW and 7.5kW devices are the latest products of MGM ’s innovative PLAD TVS product portfolio. Compared with the company ’s existing 15kW and 30kW solutions, its characteristic is that the package size is 50%. The new TVS diode has a voltage range of 10V to 48V and meets the requirements of the RTCA DO-160 industry standard for aircraft lightning protection.

The unique features of the new product include Microsemi ’s patented low-side high PLAD surface mount package, which allows product developers to reduce board space and overall component weight. This highly integrated single-component diode is more reliable than alternative multi-device solutions and is suitable for demanding aerospace, military, automotive, and industrial applications.

Durga Peddireddy, Director of Marketing and Applications at MGM ’s High Reliability Products Division, said: "The development trend is the electrification of aircraft, higher reliability and higher fuel efficiency, which is driving the increasing Demand for TVS solutions that provide excellent protection against transient overvoltage events. As a leader in high-reliability solutions, Microsemi continues to implement a full range of innovative product development to support evolving harsh industries demand."

Microsemi ’s TVS diodes enter an avalanche breakdown state within a few nanoseconds after a lightning strike, clamping transient voltages and directing current to the ground, providing extremely critical protection for aircraft electrical systems.

Microsemi: TVS device leader

Microsemi provides the broadest TVS device product portfolio in the industry. The number of Microsemi TVS devices deployed on each aircraft is between 2000 and 5000, covering all major commercial aircraft currently in use around the world. Microsemi ’s TVS products are currently used for a variety of engine control units and actuator controls, as well as various power distribution, environmental control, communications, and instrumentation systems.

Microsemi's proprietary PLAD package provides a rugged structure without wire bonding and high surge performance, and the exposed pad on the bottom of the diode achieves excellent heat resistance. The moisture classification is level 1 and does not require dry assembly. It complies with the IPC / JEDEC J-STD-020 standard.

All Microsemi ’s PLAD packaged devices are 100% surge tested and can be supplied in different “screening” types (M, MA, MXL and MX), using additional screening test levels (the same as those used for JANTX Testing of military grade devices is similar), with a view to improving reliability. Material and manufacturing changes are only made in the customer's process change notification procedure.

Other TVS features include:

· Provide various screening quality levels, with unidirectional and bidirectional structures

· Voltage: 10V to 48V

· Polishing: e3 and non-e3

· Halogen free

Supply and price

Microsemi now offers 6.5kW and 7.5kW series TVS diode products at all screening levels, ordering 10,000 units, starting at $ 2.49 per device. For more information, please visit the company's web page http: // or contact MGM's sales.
