Product details
Overview
MXDA3KP13AE3 from Microsemi is a unidirectional 3000 W surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) array with 13 V standoff voltage (VWM), 14.4–15.9 V breakdown voltage (V(BR)), and 21.5 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 139.4 A peak pulse current. It provides secondary lightning protection per IEC61000-4-5 (42 Ω, Class 1–4), ESD/EFT suppression per IEC61000-4-2/4-4, and inductive switching transient protection in industrial power interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the MXDA3KP13AE3 datasheet, MXDA3KP13AE3 pinout, MXDA3KP13AE3 application, or MXDA3KP13AE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 13 V working voltage margin, sub-100 ps response time, RoHS-compliant e3 marking, MIL-PRF-19500 upscreening eligibility, and 150 °C junction temperature rating for high-reliability embedded systems.
Technical Context
This TVS array uses silicon avalanche diode technology to clamp transients within nanoseconds, delivering 3000 W peak pulse power at 10/1000 µs waveform. Its unidirectional polarity ensures DC-biased line protection with cathode-defined pin 1, and its void-free thermosetting epoxy package meets UL94V-0 flammability rating.
The device operates across –55 °C to +150 °C, with <5 ns response time for bidirectional variants and <100 ps for unidirectional types like MXDA3KP13AE3. Standby leakage is limited to 5 µA at VWM, enabling low-power system integration without signal integrity compromise.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 13 V - Maximum continuous DC or peak AC voltage the device blocks without conduction |
| V(BR) min–max | 14.4–15.9 V @ 1 mA - Confirmed avalanche onset range ensuring predictable turn-on margin above VWM |
| VC @ IPP | 21.5 V @ 139.4 A - Clamped voltage during worst-case 10/1000 µs surge, defining protected circuit stress level |
| PPP | 3000 W @ 10/1000 µs - Peak transient energy absorption capacity validated per Figure 1 |

| MIL-PRF-19500 upscreening option | Supports high-reliability aerospace/defense programs requiring lot traceability and 3σ ID screening |
| Moisture sensitivity Level 1 | No dry pack required per J-STD-020B, simplifying SMT assembly and reducing handling cost |
| UL94V-0 epoxy package | Self-extinguishing housing prevents flame propagation in safety-critical power distribution systems |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Telecom Power Feeds |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protection of 24 V DC control inputs against inductive kickback from relay coils and contactors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS clamping transient spikes on I/O lines before they reach microcontroller GPIOs.

| Medical Imaging Power Supplies | Automotive Body Control Modules |
Use Scenario: Input protection for high-voltage X-ray generator auxiliary supplies exposed to EFT bursts. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-response TVS suppressing 5 ns rise-time EFT noise per IEC61000-4-4 without affecting 12 V rail regulation. Use Value: Sub-100 ps turn-on ensures clamping occurs before EFT energy couples into analog sensor front-ends. | Use Scenario: CAN bus power line protection in BCMs subjected to load dump and jump-start transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between 12 V supply and ground to clamp positive-going spikes only. Use Value: 13 V VWM matches automotive battery nominal voltage, allowing reliable operation across cold-crank (6.5 V) to load-dump (35 V) conditions. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ13A | 600 W PPP rating, SMA package, 23.2 V VC @ 26.7 A IPP | Limited to lower-energy transients; unsuitable for IEC61000-4-5 Class 4 compliance | Select when space-constrained layouts require smaller footprint and surge requirements are ≤600 W |
| 1.5KE13A | Through-hole DO-201 package, 1500 W PPP, 21.2 V VC @ 70.8 A IPP | Not surface-mountable; lacks MIL-PRF-19500 screening option and RoHS e3 marking | Choose for legacy through-hole designs where rework tolerance and manual assembly are prioritized over density and reliability screening |
Compared with SMAJ13A and 1.5KE13A, MXDA3KP13AE3 delivers double the pulse power handling (3000 W), certified RoHS compliance (e3), and optional military-grade screening-making it the sole choice for new industrial and telecom designs requiring Class 4 lightning immunity and long-term supply continuity.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of MXDA3KP13AE3 at its rated peak pulse current?
The MXDA3KP13AE3 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 21.5 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPP) of 139.4 A under 10/1000 µs waveform conditions. This value is measured per Figure 2 in the official datasheet and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during worst-case surge events.
Is MXDA3KP13AE3 suitable for IEC61000-4-5 Class 4 secondary lightning protection?
Yes, MXDA3KP13AE3 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 the RF01243 datasheet. Its 3000 W peak pulse power rating ensures compliance without derating.
Does MXDA3KP13AE3 have RoHS compliance certification?
Yes, MXDA3KP13AE3 carries the e3 marking per the part nomenclature on page 2 of RF01243, indicating full compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The terminations use annealed matte-tin plating, and the package is void-free thermosetting epoxy meeting UL94V-0.
What is the polarity configuration of MXDA3KP13AE3?
MXDA3KP13AE3 is a unidirectional TVS array. Pin 1 is the cathode (marked by a dot on the package top), and Pin 2 is the anode. This configuration allows it to protect DC-biased lines by conducting only during positive overvoltage events relative to ground.
Can MXDA3KP13AE3 be used in automotive applications such as body control modules?
Yes, MXDA3KP13AE3 is suitable for automotive body control modules due to its 13 V standoff voltage matching nominal 12 V battery systems, –55 °C to +150 °C operating range covering under-hood thermal extremes, and ability to withstand load dump transients per ISO 7637-2 when applied with appropriate series impedance.
