SL05 THRU SL24

Low Capacitance TVS Diode

For High Speed Data Interfaces

Schematic & PIN Configuration

Revision 9/2000

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.
