SRDA3.3-4 Datasheet, PDF (1/8 Pages) Semtech Corporation – RailClamp® Low Capacitance TVS Array
PROTECTION PRODUCTS - RailClamp®
Description
RailClamps are surge rated diode arrays designed to
protect high speed data interfaces. The SRDA series
has been specifically designed to protect sensitive
components which are connected to data and trans-
mission lines from overvoltage caused by electrostatic
discharge (ESD), electrical fast transients (EFT), and
lightning.
The unique design incorporates surge rated, low
capacitance steering diodes and a TVS diode in a
single package. During transient conditions, the
steering diodes direct the transient current to ground
via the internal low voltage TVS. The TVS diode clamps
the transient voltage to a safe level. The low capaci-
tance array configuration allows the user to protect up
to four high-speed data lines.
The SRDA3.3-4 is constructed using Semtech’s
proprietary EPD process technology. The EPD process
provides low stand-off voltages with significant reduc-
tions in leakage current and capacitance over silicon-
avalanche diode processes. They feature a true
operating voltage of 3.3 volts for superior protection.
These devices are in a 8-pin SOIC package. It mea-
sures 3.9 x 4.9mm. They are available with a SnPb or
RoHS/WEEE compliant matte tin lead finish. The high
surge capability (Ipp=25A, tp=8/20μs) means it can be
used in high threat environments in applications such
as CO/CPE equipment, telecommunication lines, and
video lines.
