Beijing, China, February 6, 2018 - Littelfuse, Inc., a global leader in circuit protection, today announced the availability of a new family of AEC-Q101-compliant transient suppression diode arrays that have been optimized to provide Protecting Sensitive Telecom Ports from Damage Caused by Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) and Lightning Induced Surge Surge The SP4208 Series TVS Diode Arrays (SPA® diodes) integrate a low capacitance steering diode with one (unidirectional protection) or two (Bidirectional Protection) Avalanche Breakdown Diodes. The series safely sinks up to 30A of surge current and at least ± 30kV ESD without performance degradation. It features low load capacitance (3.0pF) and high surge protection capability and is Ideal for securing telecommunications ports such as Ethernet and other high-speed data interfaces.
Typical applications for the SP4208 family of TVS diodes include: • 10/100/1000 Ethernet • T1 / E1 / T3 / E3 • USB 1.1 / 2.0, Power Port • Instrumentation • Medical Devices • Computers and Peripherals
'SP4208 Series TVS Diode Arrays Combine 8V Off-State Voltage with Low Dynamic Resistance to Support Tim G. G. Tim, Business Development Manager, G. Fast.' Littelfuse TVS Diode Arrays (SPA® Diodes), Operating at Higher Voltages Said that the 'through' design minimizes signal distortion and voltage overshoot and simplifies printed circuit design.
The SP4208 family of transient suppression diode arrays offers the following outstanding advantages: • 8V nominal off-state voltage to support higher operating voltage, which is an increasingly important consideration for high-speed interfaces • Low parasitic capacitance 3.0pF) Allow adequate bandwidth to enable high speed Ethernet interface • Very low dynamic resistance (nominally 0.4Ω) helps to ensure the fastest response during an ESD event.
Availability The SP4208 Series TVS Diode Arrays are available in a SOD323 Tape and Reel package and are available in quantities up to 3,000. Samples are obtainable from authorized Littelfuse locations worldwide. For Littelfuse authorized distributor listings, visit littelfuse.com.
