Product details
Overview
MADA3KP36CAE3 from Microsemi is a bidirectional 3000 W surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) array designed for high-reliability secondary lightning and ESD/EFT protection in industrial power interfaces. It features a 36 V reverse standoff voltage (VWM), 40.0–44.2 V breakdown voltage (V(BR)), 58.1 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 51.6 A peak pulse current, and operates across –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the MADA3KP36CAE3 datasheet, MADA3KP36CAE3 pinout, MADA3KP36CAE3 application, or MADA3KP36CAE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include IEC61000-4-5 Class 1–4 compliance with 42 Ω/12 Ω/2 Ω source impedances, RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and bidirectional polarity for AC-coupled signal line protection.
Technical Context
The MADA3KP36CAE3 implements a silicon avalanche diode structure optimized for sub-5 ns response time under bidirectional transients. Its clamping behavior is characterized at 10/1000 μs waveform with 3000 W peak pulse power rating and 51.6 A IPP, validated per MIL-PRF-19500 screening options when upscreened.
It supports secondary lightning protection per IEC61000-4-5 across multiple source impedances: Class 1–4 at 42 Ω, Class 1–3 at 12 Ω, and Class 2–4 at 2 Ω - with specific class coverage confirmed for MDA3KP36CA in the original specification table.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 36 V - Maximum continuous operating voltage before clamping begins; matches 33–36 V DC bus or AC RMS lines. |
| V(BR) min/max | 40.0–44.2 V - Breakdown occurs within this range at 1 mA; ensures reliable turn-on above normal operating peaks. |
| VC @ IPP | 58.1 V - Clamping voltage at 51.6 A peak pulse; limits downstream voltage stress during surge events. |
| PPP | 3000 W - Peak pulse power handling at 10/1000 μs waveform; enables robust protection against lightning-induced surges. |
| TJ range | –55 °C to +150 °C - Wide junction temperature range supports operation in harsh industrial or automotive under-hood environments. |
| Polarity | Bidirectional - Protects both positive and negative transients; suitable for AC signal lines or ungrounded data buses. |
| RoHS | e3 - Matte-tin termination compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU; no lead or hazardous substance restrictions violated. |

Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Telecom Power Feeds |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protection of 48 V DC power inputs in variable-frequency drives exposed to inductive switching transients and lightning-induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS array clamping device placed at input filter stage to divert >50 A surge currents away from DC-DC converters and gate drivers. Use Value: Limits voltage excursion to ≤58.1 V during 10/1000 μs surges, preserving MOSFET gate oxide integrity and control IC supply rails. |
Use Scenario: Secondary lightning protection on -48 V telecom power feeds per IEC61000-4-5 with 42 Ω source impedance. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional transient suppressor bridging power rail to chassis ground to shunt common-mode surges. Use Value: Maintains system uptime by preventing latch-up or burnout in PMICs and supervisory circuits during Class 4 surge events. |
| AC Line Interface Modules | Automotive Body Control Units |
Use Scenario: Surge suppression on 230 VAC input stages of industrial power supplies with bridge rectifiers and PFC controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional TVS placed across AC input terminals to clamp differential-mode transients before rectification. Use Value: Prevents rectifier diode avalanche failure and capacitor overvoltage by clamping to 58.1 V during fast-rising line surges. |
Use Scenario: Protection of LIN bus or 12 V auxiliary power lines in body control modules subjected to load dump and ESD. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated TVS connected between signal/power line and chassis ground to absorb ±15 kV ESD per IEC61000-4-2. Use Value: Ensures CAN/LIN communication continuity after repeated ESD strikes due to <5 ns response and low clamping ratio. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ36CA | Lower PPP (600 W), same VWM (36 V), identical DO-214AA package but smaller thermal mass. | Limited to Class 1–2 IEC61000-4-5; insufficient for 42 Ω Class 4 or 3000 W surge requirements. | Select only for space-constrained designs where peak surge energy is ≤600 W and derated ambient conditions apply. |
| SMCJ36CA | Same PPP (3000 W), same VWM (36 V), DO-214AB package, but higher VC (63.0 V) and lower IPP (47.6 A). | Valid for same IEC61000-4-5 classes, but higher clamping voltage increases risk to downstream 3.3 V/5 V logic. | Prefer MADA3KP36CAE3 when clamping voltage margin below 58.1 V is critical for protecting 3.3 V interface ICs. |
Compared with SMBJ36CA and SMCJ36CA, the MADA3KP36CAE3 delivers superior clamping performance (58.1 V vs. ≥63.0 V) and verified Class 4 capability at 42 Ω, making it optimal for mission-critical industrial power entry points where voltage overshoot must be minimized.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of MADA3KP36CAE3 at its rated peak pulse current?
The MADA3KP36CAE3 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 58.1 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPP) of 51.6 A under 10/1000 μs waveform conditions. This value is measured per standard test methods defined in the RF01243 datasheet and ensures predictable overvoltage limiting during surge events. The MADA3KP36CAE3 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is MADA3KP36CAE3 suitable for IEC61000-4-5 Class 4 secondary lightning protection?
Yes, the MADA3KP36CAE3 is explicitly rated for IEC61000-4-5 Class 4 secondary lightning protection when tested with a 42 Ω source impedance, as confirmed in the Applications/Benefits section of RF01243 Rev B. Its 3000 W peak pulse power rating and 51.6 A IPP meet the energy threshold required for Class 4 compliance. The MADA3KP36CAE3 also supports Class 1–3 at 12 Ω and Class 2–4 at 2 Ω source impedances.
What does the 'C' suffix in MADA3KP36CAE3 indicate?
The 'C' suffix in MADA3KP36CAE3 denotes bidirectional polarity - meaning the device provides symmetrical clamping for both positive- and negative-going transients. This distinguishes it from unidirectional variants like MADA3KP36AE3 and makes it suitable for AC-coupled lines, transformer-isolated interfaces, or floating grounds where polarity reversal may occur. The MADA3KP36CAE3 uses identical avalanche junctions on both terminals.
Does MADA3KP36CAE3 require moisture-sensitive handling per J-STD-020B?
No, the MADA3KP36CAE3 is classified as Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it does not require dry pack packaging or floor life limitations. This eliminates bake-out steps prior to reflow soldering and simplifies manufacturing logistics. The MADA3KP36CAE3's void-free epoxy encapsulation contributes to its moisture resistance and long-term reliability in humid environments.
What is the junction temperature range for MADA3KP36CAE3?
The MADA3KP36CAE3 operates across a junction temperature range of –55 °C to +150 °C, enabling deployment in extreme environments such as industrial enclosures, outdoor telecom cabinets, or under-hood automotive locations. This wide range is validated through thermal characterization in RF01243 Rev B and supports sustained operation even during high-power surge dissipation. The MADA3KP36CAE3 maintains specified electrical parameters throughout this full range.
