Applications

Mechanical Characteristics

The SMDAxxC series of TVS arrays are designed to

provide bidirectional protection for sensitive electronics

from damage or latch-up due to ESD, lightning and

other voltage-induced transient events. Each device

will protect four data or I/O lines. They are available

with operating voltages of 5V, 12V, 15V and 24V.

TVS diodes are solid-state devices designed specifically

for transient suppression. They offer desirable charac-

teristics for board level protection including fast re-

sponse time, low operating and clamping voltage and

no device degradation. The low profile SO-8 package

allows the user to protect up to four independent lines

with one package. The SMDAxxC series is suitable

protection for sensitive semiconductors components

such as microprocessors, ASICs, transceivers, trans-

ducers, and CMOS memory.

The SMDAxxC series devices may be used to meet the

ESD immunity requirements of IEC 61000-4-2, level 4

for air and contact discharge.
