Problem/Solution

The SP3042 Series back-to-back TVS diodes, fabricated in a proprietary silicon avalanche technology, provide symmetrical ESD protection for data lines when AC signals are present.

Features

• Bidirectional performance provides flexibility in assembly
• Provides linear  frequency response performance across the working voltage
• Low dynamic resistance (0.5 Ω)
• Provides 30kV ESD protection and supports up to 2 A (8/20µs)

Benefits

• No wrong way to place the part on the printed circuit board
• Important consideration if used to protect the receive path of low powered antennas
• Provides fast response during an ESD event
• Robust protection for high-speed interfaces
