Product details
Overview
MV1N8153US/TR from Microsemi is a voidless-hermetically-sealed unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) with 10.0 V working standoff voltage (VWM), 16.9 V peak clamping voltage (VC) at 11.7 A IPP, 4 pF capacitance, and 150 W peak pulse power rating for high-frequency signal line protection in aerospace and defense systems. It features internal Category 1 metallurgical bonds and triple-layer passivation for radiation-hardened, high-reliability operation.
For engineers reviewing the MV1N8153US/TR datasheet, MV1N8153US/TR pinout, MV1N8153US/TR application, or MV1N8153US/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include low-capacitance ESD/IEC61000-4-2 compliance, axial-leaded thru-hole mounting, hermetic glass package robustness, and precise 10.0 V standoff voltage tolerance for MIL-STD-750-compliant circuit protection.
Technical Context
This TVS uses a unique series-connected rectifier diode in anti-parallel configuration with the avalanche junction to achieve ultra-low 4 pF capacitance while maintaining unidirectional clamping behavior. Its hard-glass hermetic construction ensures zero voids and supports operation from –55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature.
The device delivers 150 W peak pulse power at 10/1000 µs waveform with 16.9 V clamping voltage at 11.7 A surge current, and exhibits <0.1% /°C breakdown voltage temperature coefficient. It meets IEC61000-4-2 (ESD), IEC61000-4-4 (EFT), and select IEC61000-4-5 (lightning) immunity standards.

FAQ
What is the working standoff voltage (VWM) of MV1N8153US/TR?
The MV1N8153US/TR has a working standoff voltage (VWM) of 10.0 V, meaning it remains non-conductive up to this DC or repetitive peak reverse voltage. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the Microsemi T4-LDS-xxxx datasheet, with a maximum standby current of 1 µA at this voltage. The 10.0 V VWM allows safe integration into 5 V or 12 V signal chains while providing sufficient margin before clamping activation.
Does MV1N8153US/TR meet IEC61000-4-2 ESD immunity requirements?
Yes, MV1N8153US/TR provides ESD protection per IEC61000-4-2, as explicitly stated in the Applications/Benefits section of the datasheet. Its 4 pF capacitance and fast response enable effective clamping of ±8 kV contact and ±15 kV air discharge events without signal distortion. The device's nonsensitivity to ESD per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 further validates its robustness during handling and system-level testing.
What is the peak clamping voltage (VC) of MV1N8153US/TR at its rated surge current?
The MV1N8153US/TR has a maximum peak clamping voltage (VC) of 16.9 V at 11.7 A peak impulse current (IPP), measured under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value ensures downstream components see no more than 16.9 V during surge events, protecting sensitive receivers and ADC inputs. The low VC/VWM ratio of ~1.69 reflects high clamping efficiency for a 150 W TVS.
Is MV1N8153US/TR suitable for high-temperature environments like engine compartments?
Yes, MV1N8153US/TR is rated for junction temperatures from –55 °C to +175 °C, making it suitable for under-hood automotive, turbine control, and other high-temperature environments. Its hermetic glass package and internal metallurgical bonds prevent parameter drift or failure under sustained thermal stress. The derating curve on page 5 confirms usable power capability even at 125 °C ambient.
What does the "MV" prefix in MV1N8153US/TR signify?
The "MV" prefix in MV1N8153US/TR indicates JANTXV-level reliability qualification per MIL-PRF-19500, the highest military grade for discrete semiconductors. This designation certifies that the MV1N8153US/TR undergoes 100% screening-including burn-in, thermal shock, and life testing-and incorporates Category 1 internal metallurgical bonds for mission-critical applications where zero defects are mandatory.
