This robust component can safely absorb repetitive ESD strikes above the maximum level specified in the IEC 61000-4-2 international standard without performance degradation.
Typical applications for SP3422-04UTG series TVS Diode Arrays include:
- ESD protection for V-by-One
- USB3.0, USB2.0, and IEEE 1394 interfaces
- MIPI camera or display interfaces
- Embedded display ports
- Serial bus interfaces such as IEEE 1394
- Flat panel displays
- LCD/LED televisions
- Smartphones, and other mobile computing devices
“The SP3422-04UTG series is just one-third the size of a typical four-line array, which permits straight-through routing, eliminating signal integrity issues with fan outs,” said Tim Micun, Business Development Manager/TVS Diode Arrays at Littelfuse. “Because it combines a small footprint with the lowest loading capacitance available in this format, it’s ideal for use in mobile devices, where board space is at a premium.”
SP3422-04UTG series TVS Diode Arrays offer these key benefits:
- Four lines of ESD protection in an outline smaller than a conventional SOD-882 package offers greater board space savings than discrete or dual-channel implementations
- Straight-through routing does not degrade signal integrity and eliminates the requirement to ‘fan out’ to make connection to the PCB pins
- Low parasitic capacitance (nominally 0.2pF) helps to maintain signal integrity, and suitable for high speed USB 3.0, MIPI, and DisplayPort interfaces
- This automotive-grade, Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (MSL-1) product is capable of performing across a broad temperature range in harsh environments without performance degradation.
