SD05 and SD12
Single Line TVS Diode for ESD
Protection in Portable Electronics
PROTECTION PRODUCTS
Description
The SDxx 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 clamp-
ing voltage and no device degradation when compared
to MLVs. The SDxx series TVS diodes are designed to
protect sensitive semiconductor components from
damage or upset due to electrostatic discharge (ESD)
and other voltage induced transient events.
The SDxx is in a SOD-323 package and will protect one
unidirectional line. They are available with working
voltages of 5 volts (SD05) and 12 volts (SD12). These
devices 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. Additionally, it may be “sprinkled” around the
board in applications where board space is at a pre-
mium.
