Microsemi strategic marketing director Christophe Warin said: “Our new high-power TVS devices are critical for addressing multiple-stroke and multiple-burst events on aircraft, and leverage our team's deep expertise in this important area of protection for customers.
“In addition to enabling these customers to meet the rigorous RTCA DO-160 section 22 standard for aircraft design, the MPLAD18KP and MPLAD36KP TVS families offer an efficient low-profile package design in standoff voltage selections of 14V to 40V in either unidirectional or bidirectional construction.”
Microsemi said that its new devices will be available in low-profile surface-mount packages, and are designed to minimise thermal resistance and cumulative heating.
Its PLAD technology allows effective surface-mount TVS packaging for the MPLAD18KP and MPLAD36KP.
