Littelfuse, Inc. announced that it has developed a new SP3012-06UTG Low Capacitance ESD Protection TVS Diode Array (SPA®Devices). The new product is optimized for protecting sensitive chipsets on high-speed data lines from any external ESD (electrostatic discharge) event. Typical applications include USB 3.0 and HDMI port protection on LCD/PDP TVs, DVD/Blu-ray players, desktop PCs, MP3/PMPs, set top boxes, smartphones, ultrabooks/notebooks and digital cameras.
Features
Safely absorbs repetitive ESD strikes above the maximum level specified in the IEC61000-4-2 international standard (Level 4) without performance degradation; reduces designer's dependency on accurate trace impedance simulators
Ultra low capacitance (0.5pF)
Market-leading dynamic resistance of 0.4Ω provides clamping voltage two to three times lower than competitive devices
ESD, IEC61000-4-2, ±12kV contact discharge, ±25kV air discharge rating
Small form factor µDFN-14 package (3.5 x 1.35 x 0.5mm); allows PCB traces to run directly underneath the device, minimizing trace discontinuities
Minimizes signal degradation to preserve system performance while providing robust ESD protection
Ensures chipset reliability through reduced clamping voltage
Allows manufacturers to provide ESD protection above IEC standard requirements
Reduces PCB footprint by more than 50 percent when compared to other fully integrated, 6-channel protection devices
SP3012-06UTG Low Capacitance ESD Protection TVS Diode Arrays are available in quantities of 3,000 in standard tape and reel packaging. Samples are available now for bulk orders; sample requests can be placed through authorized Littelfuse distributors worldwide.
