This surface mount family of arrays suppress ESD and other transient overvoltage events. Used to meet the International Electrotechnical Compatibility (IEC transient immunity standards IEC 61000-4-2 for Electrostatic Discharge Requirements), these components can help protect sensitive digital or analog input circuits on data, signal, or control lines with voltage levels up to 5VDC. The monolithic silicon arrays are comprised of specially designed structures for transient voltage suppression (TVS). The size and shape of these structures have be tailored for transient protection. Compared to MOVs, this diode array provides a lower clamping voltage and lower off-state capacitance.
