SD05C: Single Line TVS Diode for ESD Protection in Portable Electronics

The SDxxC TVS diodes are designed to replace multilayer varistors (MLVs) in portable applications such as cell phones, notebook computers, and PDA’s.  They offer superior electrical characteristics such as lower clamping voltage and no device degradation when compared to MLVs.

The SD05C is in a SOD-323 package and will protectone bidirectional line. It comes with a working voltage of 5 volts. This device will fit on the same PCB pad area as an 0805 MLV device. They give the designer the flexibility to protect one line in applications where arrays are not practical. Also, it may be “sprinkled” around the board in applications where board space is at a premium. They may may be used to meet the ESD immunity requirements of IEC 61000-4-2, Level 4 (±15kV air,±8kV contact discharge). They feature low clamping voltage and low leakage current.
