1-Line ESD protection
PROTECTION PRODUCTS - MicroClamp
TM
Description
The µClamp
TM
series of TVS arrays are designed to pro-
tect sensitive electronics from damage or latch-up due
to ESD. It is designed to replace multilayer varistors
(MLVs) in portable applications such as cell phones, note-
book computers, and PDAs. It features large cross-sec-
tional area junctions for conducting high transient cur-
rents. It offers superior electrical characteristics such
as lower clamping voltage and no device degradation
when compared to MLVs. They offer desirable charac-
teristics for board level protection including fast response
time, low operating and clamping voltage, and no device
degradation.
The µClamp
TM
1201P is in a 2-pin, RoHS/WEEE compli-
ant, SLP1006P2 package. It measures 1.0 x 0.6 x
0.50mm. The leads are spaced at a pitch of 0.65mm
and are finished with lead-free NiPdAu. Each device will
protect one line operating at 12 volts. It gives the
designer the flexibility to protect single lines in applica-
tions where arrays are not practical. They may be used
to meet the ESD immunity requirements of IEC 61000-
4-2, Level 4 (±15kV air, ±8kV contact discharge). The
combination of small size and high ESD surge capability
makes them ideal for use in portable applications such
as cellular phones, digital cameras, and MP3 players.
