Littelfuse Low Capacitance TVS Diode Array Analysis

What is a low-capacitance TVS diode array? What are its uses? Littelfuse, Inc. (Nasdaq: LFUS), a leading global manufacturer of circuit protection, power control and sensing technologies, today announced the launch of low-capacitance TVS diode arrays. TVS Diode Array (SPA® Diode). This product is optimized to protect high-speed differential data lines from damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD), cable discharge (CDE), electrical fast transients (EFT), and lightning-induced surges by maintaining signal integrity. Reliability of network communications.

The SP3384NUTG series protects four channels up to 15A (IEC 61000-4-5 ed. 2) and up to ±30kV ESD (IEC 61000-4-2) and is available in a compact μDFN package. Due to its low capacitance and low clamping voltage, SP3384NUTG can provide reliable protection solutions for 2.5G/5G/10G Ethernet high-speed data interfaces while avoiding signal attenuation and improving the reliability of various applications.

Typical markets and applications for the SP3384NUTG series TVS diodes include:

·Data center and telecommunications - 2.5G/5G/10G Ethernet, WAN/LAN equipment, 5G wireless backhaul

·Industrial - LVDS interface, integrated magnetic

·Consumer Electronics - Desktops, Servers and Laptops

“With similar package sizes in 1GbE and 5GbE applications, the SP3384NUTG series expands our product portfolio and addresses the market demand for ultra-strong ESD and surge protection in today’s fastest 10GbE consumer Ethernet solutions.” Transient said Tim Micun, director of business development for Suppression Diode Arrays (SPA® Diodes). "It is also packaged in compact configurations common in the data center, telecommunications and consumer electronics industries."

The SP3384NUTG series TVS diode arrays offer the following key advantages:

·Low capacitance (0.5pF per I/O) and low clamping voltage (4V@Ipp=1A) maintain signal integrity and minimize data loss while making the device more stable and reliable in the face of electrical threats.

·Compact μDFN package (3.0 x 2.0mm) optimized for protecting high-speed differential data lines.

·Provides protection for two differential data pairs (4 channels) at currents up to 15A.

·Exceeds the highest IEC standard requirements for ESD protection to ensure product reliability. The above is a low capacitance TVS diode array, I hope it can be helpful to everyone.
