Littelfuse Low Capacitance TVS Diode Array Reduces Signal Attenuation and Distortion in High Speed ​​Applications

Littelfuse, a global leader in circuit protection, today announced the availability of eight-channel ultra-low capacitance conventional mode and differential mode protection for TVS diodes for electronic devices that may experience destructive electrostatic discharge (ESD). ) series products. The SP8008 family of low-capacitance TVS diode arrays protects against ESD events that exceed the IEC 61000-4-2 ±8 kV contact ESD level while avoiding any performance degradation. Extremely low load capacitance (only 0.3pF, typical) makes these components ideal for high-speed signal pins such as V-by-One, embedded DisplayPort, HDMI 1.0 to 2.1, and USB 2.0/3.0/3.1. And signal integrity is not compromised.

Typical applications for the SP8008 family include high-speed interface protection for LCD/PDP TVs, LCD/LED displays, notebooks, ultrabooks, automotive displays, flat panel displays, digital signals, HD cameras/projectors, and USB and HDMI interfaces.

"In addition to low load capacitance and low dynamic resistance, the SP8008 family of TVS diode arrays offers circuit designers a compact component choice," said Tim Micun, global product manager for Littelfuse transient suppression diode arrays. “The μDFN-14 package saves board space and supports straight-through path for data lines.”

The SP8008 family of TVS diodes offers the following key benefits:
• Low load capacitance (0.3pF, typ) reduces signal attenuation and distortion in high speed applications.
• Low dynamic resistance (0.4Ω) provides low clamping performance to maintain signal integrity while minimizing data loss while making the device more stable and reliable in the face of electrical threats.
• Enables manufacturers to achieve the highest levels of ESD protection beyond the IEC standards and address a host of other threats to ensure product reliability in actual use.
