Product details
Overview
MXDA3KP6.0AE3 from Microsemi is a unidirectional 3000 W surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) array with 6.0 V reverse standoff voltage (VWM), 6.67–7.37 V breakdown voltage (V(BR)), and 10.3 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 291.3 A peak pulse current (IPP). 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 power supply input stages.
For engineers reviewing the MXDA3KP6.0AE3 datasheet, MXDA3KP6.0AE3 pinout, MXDA3KP6.0AE3 application, or MXDA3KP6.0AE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include VWM matching system DC rail, VC margin relative to protected IC's absolute maximum rating, IPP derating at elevated ambient temperature, and RoHS-compliant matte-tin termination compatibility with lead-free reflow profiles.
Technical Context
The MXDA3KP6.0AE3 operates as a silicon avalanche diode-based unidirectional TVS, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its specified V(BR) range (6.67–7.37 V @ 10 mA). Its sub-100 ps response time enables effective suppression of fast transients including ESD and EFT events.
Designed for high-reliability vertical mounting, it delivers 3000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs waveform), with clamping performance validated up to 291.3 A IPP and thermal stability across –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 6.0 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before conduction begins; must exceed peak system DC rail voltage. |
| V(BR) min/max | 6.67–7.37 V @ 10 mA - Avalanche breakdown threshold range; defines turn-on consistency across production lots. |
| VC @ IPP | 10.3 V @ 291.3 A - Clamped voltage during worst-case surge; determines maximum stress on downstream components. |
| PPP | 3000 W @ 10/1000 µs - Peak pulse power handling capability; validates robustness against lightning-induced surges. |
| ID @ VWM | 1000 µA max - Standby leakage current at rated standoff voltage; impacts low-power system quiescent current budget. |
| TJ/TSTG | –55 to +150 °C - Operating and storage temperature range; supports deployment in industrial and automotive under-hood environments. |
Pinout & Package
MXDA3KP6.0AE3 uses a 3-pin vertical surface-mount package (case outline per RF01243, Page 6), void-free UL94V-0 epoxy body with tin-lead or annealed matte-tin plating. Pin 1 is marked by a dot on top; odd-numbered pins are cathodes per device polarity convention.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Cathode (TVS1) | High-side connection point for first TVS element; ties to protected line (e.g., VBUS). |
| Pin 2 | Anode (Common) | Shared anode node for all internal TVS elements; connects to system ground or return path. |
| Pin 3 | Cathode (TVS2) | High-side connection point for second TVS element; used for dual-line protection (e.g., differential pair). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 3000 W peak pulse power | Enables compliance with IEC61000-4-5 Class 4 (42 Ω source) without external series impedance. |
| RoHS-compliant matte-tin termination (e3) | Supports Pb-free reflow soldering (260 °C, 10 s) without dewetting or intermetallic degradation. |
| Moisture sensitivity Level 1 | Eliminates dry-pack requirement and floor-life constraints per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B. |
| Full lot surge testing | Ensures every production batch meets minimum IPP and VC specifications prior to shipment. |
Applications
| Industrial Power Input Protection | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) Inputs |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 24 V DC power entry point in programmable logic controllers exposed to load dump and ISO 7637-2 pulses. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp limiting transient energy delivered to upstream DC-DC converter input stage. Use Value: Limits clamped voltage to 10.3 V, well below 16 V absolute maximum rating of typical buck controller ICs. | Use Scenario: LIN bus or sensor supply lines in BCMs subject to battery reverse polarity and jump-start surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional shunt protector placed between supply rail and ground, absorbing reverse-energy transients. Use Value: Withstands 200 A forward surge (8.3 ms half-sine), covering ISO 16750-2 jump-start test requirements. |
| Telecom AC/DC Adapter Outputs | Medical Equipment Patient-Connected Ports |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side 5 V/12 V outputs of isolated AC/DC adapters used in network infrastructure gear. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Final-stage transient suppressor after isolation barrier, protecting downstream USB or Ethernet PHYs. Use Value: Sub-100 ps response ensures clamping occurs before ESD event propagates into sensitive interface ICs. | Use Scenario: Low-voltage analog signal paths (e.g., ECG front-end inputs) requiring IEC 60601-1-2 ESD immunity. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Signal-line TVS placed directly at connector, minimizing trace inductance to preserve clamping speed. Use Value: 1000 µA max ID at 6.0 V VWM avoids loading high-impedance biopotential amplifiers. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ6.0A | 600 W PPP rating (vs. 3000 W); same VWM and VC but lower IPP (101 A vs. 291.3 A). | Limited to Class 2 lightning (IEC61000-4-5, 42 Ω) and lower-energy EFT events. | Select SMBJ6.0A only if system-level surge testing confirms <600 W threat level and board space is constrained. |
| SMCJ6.0A | 1500 W PPP rating; identical VWM/VC specs but 200 A IPP (vs. 291.3 A); larger SMC package vs. MDA's vertical mount. | Meets Class 3 lightning (42 Ω) but not Class 4; requires different PCB footprint and height clearance. | Choose SMCJ6.0A when existing layout accommodates SMC outline and 1500 W surge margin suffices. |
Compared with SMBJ6.0A and SMCJ6.0A, MXDA3KP6.0AE3 delivers 2.0× and 1.45× higher peak pulse power respectively, enabling single-device Class 4 lightning compliance without parallel devices or external impedance-critical for compact, high-reliability power entry designs.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of MXDA3KP6.0AE3 at its rated peak pulse current?
The MXDA3KP6.0AE3 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 10.3 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPP) of 291.3 A under 10/1000 µs waveform conditions. This value is measured across the device terminals during standardized surge testing and represents the upper limit of voltage seen by downstream circuitry during worst-case transient events. The MXDA3KP6.0AE3 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is MXDA3KP6.0AE3 RoHS compliant and what does the 'e3' suffix indicate?
Yes, MXDA3KP6.0AE3 is RoHS compliant, as confirmed by the 'e3' suffix in its part number per Microsemi's nomenclature guide. The 'e3' designation specifies annealed matte-tin plating on terminations, fully compliant with Directive 2011/65/EU and compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes up to 260 °C for 10 seconds. This ensures environmental compliance without sacrificing solder joint integrity or thermal cycling reliability.
How does MXDA3KP6.0AE3 differ from bidirectional variants like MDA3KP6.0CE3?
MXDA3KP6.0AE3 is unidirectional, conducting only in reverse bias above V(BR), while MDA3KP6.0CE3 is bidirectional with symmetrical clamping in both polarities. The unidirectional MXDA3KP6.0AE3 offers lower leakage (1000 µA vs. 500 µA for the 6.0C variant at VWM) and is intended for DC-biased lines such as power rails. Bidirectional versions are reserved for AC-coupled or floating signal lines where polarity reversal is possible.
What is the maximum operating temperature range for MXDA3KP6.0AE3?
The MXDA3KP6.0AE3 is rated for junction and storage temperatures from –55 °C to +150 °C. This wide thermal range enables use in under-hood automotive, industrial motor drives, and outdoor telecom equipment where ambient temperatures exceed standard commercial limits. Derating curves (Figure 3 in RF01243) define allowable PPP reduction above 25 °C to maintain safe operation within this envelope.
Can MXDA3KP6.0AE3 be used for ESD protection per IEC61000-4-2?
Yes, MXDA3KP6.0AE3 is explicitly qualified for ESD protection per IEC61000-4-2 due to its sub-100 ps response time and ability to clamp fast transients without degradation. Its 3000 W peak pulse power rating far exceeds the 0.2–0.5 W energy of contact discharge events, making it suitable as a primary or secondary ESD clamp-especially where high-energy system-level coupling paths exist alongside direct human contact points.
