DESCRIPTION

These small surface mount TVS devices feature the ability to clamp dangerous high voltage short-term transients such as produced by directed or radiated electrostatic discharge phenomena before entering sensitive component regions of a circuit design. They are small economical transient voltage suppressors targeted primarily for short-term transients below a few microseconds while still achieving significant peak-pulse-power capability as illustrated in Figure #1.

FEATURES

? Excellent protection in clamping direct ESD level

transients in excess of 15,000 V per MIL-STD-750,

Method 1020 (approx. 150 ns exponential wave)

? Absorbs ESD level transients* of 1400 Watts per

MIL-STD-750, Method 1020 (approx. 150 ns

exponential wave, or one microsecond transients up

to 400 watts. See Figure #1 and #2 for overall

transient Peak Pulse Power.

? Clamps Transients in less than 100 picoseconds

? Working Stand-off Voltage range of 5 V to 170 V

? Hermetic DO-213AA Package. Also available in

axial-leaded DO-35 package (see separate data

sheet for 1.4KESD5.0 series)

APPLICATIONS / BENEFITS

? Protects Sensitive circuits from short duration fast

rise time transients such as Electrostatic Discharge

(ESD) or Electrical Fast Transients (EFT)

? Low inherent capacitance for high-frequency applications (See Figure #4)

? Small surface mount foot print

? Bidirectional features available by adding a “C” or “CA” suffix
