Low Capacitance TVS Diode
For High Speed Data Interfaces
PROTECTION PRODUCTS
Description
The SL series of TVS arrays are designed to protect
sensitive electronics from damage or latch-up due to
ESD, lightning, and other voltage-induced transient
events. 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 SL series devices feature
a low capacitance, fast switching compensation diode
in series with a standard TVS diode. This effectively
reduces the overall capacitance of the device to less
than 5pF making it an integrated, low capacitance
solution for use on high-speed interfaces.
The SL series devices may be used to meet the immu-
nity requirements of IEC 61000-4-2, level 4.
