SL05 through SL24
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.
