TVS Arrays Provide IEC Compatible Suppression

Oct. 21, 2010
Available in eight-, 14-, or 16-pin SOIC-N and SOT-23 surface-mount packages, the QDN Series TVS diode arrays provide protection to IEC standards for a variety of transient voltage events.

Available in eight-, 14-, or 16-pin SOIC-N and SOT-23 surface-mount packages, the QDN Series TVS diode arrays provide protection to IEC standards for a variety of transient voltage events. These include IEC 61000-4-2 – ESD protection to 15kV (air) and 8kV (contact), IEC 61000-4-4 – EFT protection to 40A at 5/50ns, and IEC 61000-4-5, lightning/surge protection to 12A at 8/20 µs for Level 2 (line-to-ground) and Level 3 (line-to-line). Available in unidirectional and bidirectional versions, the diode arrays are capable of ESD protection less than 40 kV and carry a peak pulse power rating of 500W (tP = 8/20 µs). All devices in the QDN Series are ROHS-compliant and specify an operating temperature range from -55°C to +150°C. IRC INC., Corpus Christi, TX. (361) 985-3166.
