SAC5.0 thru SAC50
500 WATT LOW CAPACITANCE
TRANSIENT VOLTAGE SUPPRESSOR
SCOTTSDALE DIVISION
DESCRIPTION
This SAC5.0 thru SAC50 transient voltage suppressor (TVS) series rated at
500 watts provides an added rectifier element as shown in Figure 4 to
achieve low capacitance in applications for higher speed data or signal
lines. The low capacitance rating of 30 pF may be used for protecting
higher frequency applications in inductive switching environments or
electrical systems involving secondary lightning effects per IEC61000-4-5
as well as RTCA/DO-160D or ARINC 429 for airborne avionics.
If
bidirectional protection is needed, two SAC devices in anti-parallel
configuration are required as shown in Figure 6. With their very fast
response time, they also provide ESD and EFT protection per IEC61000-4-
2 and IEC61000-4-4 respectively.

Note 1:
A transient voltage suppressor is normally selected according to voltage (V
WM
), which should be equal to or greater than the dc or continuous peak
operating voltage level.
Note 2:
When pulse testing, test in TVS avalanche direction. Do not pulse in “forward” direction. See section for “Schematic Applications” herein.

SCHEMATIC APPLICATIONS
The TVS low capacitance device configuration is shown in Figure 4. As a further option for unidirectional applications, an additional low
capacitance rectifier diode may be used in parallel in the same polarity direction as the TVS as shown in Figure 5. In applications where random
high voltage transients occur, this will prevent reverse transients from damaging the internal low capacitance rectifier diode and also provide a
low voltage conducting direction. The added rectifier diode should be of similar low capacitance and also have a higher reverse voltage rating
than the TVS clamping voltage V
C
. The Microsemi recommended rectifier part number is the “LCR60” for the application in Figure 5. If using two
(2) low capacitance TVS devices in anti-parallel for bidirectional applications, this added protective feature for both directions (including the
reverse of each rectifier diode) is also provided. The unidirectional and bidirectional configurations in Figure 5 and 6 will both result in twice the
capacitance of Figure 4.
