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 characteristics for board level protection including fast response 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 immunity requirements of IEC 61000-4-2, level 4.
