Varistor Products Surface Mount Multilayer Varistors (MLVs) > MLA Series Clamping Voltage Over Temperature (VC at 10A) At low current levels, the V-I curve of the multilayer transient voltage suppressor approaches a linear (ohmic) relationship and shows a temperature dependent effect. At or below the maximum working voltage, the suppressor is in a high resistance modex (approaching 106Ω at its maximum rated working voltage). Leakage currents at maximum rated voltage are below 100μA, typically 25μA; for 0402 size below 20μA, typically 5μA.

Its response time is not limited by the parasitic lead inductances found in other surface mount packages. The response time of the ZN0EJFMFDUSJDNBUFSJBMJTMFTT than 1ns and the MLA can clamp very fast dV/dT events such as ESD. Additionally, in "real world" applications, the associated circuit wiring is often the greatest factor effecting speed of response. Therefore, transient suppressor placement within a circuit can be considered important in certain instances. Energy dissipated within the MLA Series is calculated by multiplying the clamping voltage, transient current and transient duration. An important advantage of the multilayer is its interdigitated electrode construction within the mass of dielectric material. This results in excellent current distribution and the peak temperature per energy absorbed is very low. The matrix of semiconducting grains combine to absorb and distribute transient energy (heat) (see Speed of Response). This dramatically reduces peak temperature; thermal stresses and enhances device reliability. As a measure of the device capability in energy and peak current handling, the V26MLA1206A part was tested with multiple pulses at its peak current rating (150A, 8/20μs). At the end of the test,10,000 pulses later, the device voltage characteristics are still well within specification. 3FQFUJUJWF1VMTF$BQBCJMJUZ Multilayer Internal Construction 100 PEAK CURRENT = 150A 8/20 s DURATION, 30s BETWEEN PULSES FIRED CERAMIC DIELECTRIC VOLTAGE V26MLA1206 METAL ELECTRODES METAL END TERMINATION 10 DEPLETION 0 REGION Figure 13 2000 4000 6000 8000 10000 12000 NUMBER OF PULSES DEPLETION REGION Figure 12 GRAINS ©2010 Littelfuse, Inc.

MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE 230°C When using a reflow process, care should be taken to ensure that the MLA chip is not subjected to a thermal gradient steeper than 4 degrees per second; the ideal gradient being 2 degrees per second.
