Description
The SMS series of TVS arrays are designed to protect sensitive electronics from damage or latch-up due to ESD and other voltage-induced transient events. Each device will protect up to five lines. They are available with operating voltages of 5V, 12V, 15V and 24V. They are unidirectional devices and may be used on lines where the signal polarities are above ground.
TVS diodes are solid-state devices designed specifically for transient suppression. They feature large cross sectional area junctions for conducting high transient currents. They offer desirable characteristics for board level protection including fast response time, low operating and clamping voltage and no device degradation.
