Diode arrays for protecting electronic equipment

Littelfuse's TVS Diode Arrays are designed to protect each input/output (I/O) pin of electronic equipment subject to destructive electrostatic discharges (ESD) or electrical fast transients (EFT).

Littelfuse’s TVS Diode Arrays are designed to protect each input/output (I/O) pin of electronic equipment subject to destructive electrostatic discharges (ESD) or electrical fast transients (EFT). The new SP1064 Series TVS Diode Arrays are Zener diodes fabricated using a proprietary silicon avalanche technology. These robust diodes can absorb repetitive ESD strikes above the maximum level specified in IEC 61000-4-2 international standard without performance degradation. Their very low loading capacitance (typically 8.5pF per I/O) also makes them ideal for protecting high speed signal pins. Typical applications for the SP1064 Series include protection for backlighting and edge lighting solutions for computers and electronics.

The SP1064 Series TVS Diodes offer key benefits such as high standoff voltage (up to 60 V) allows them to protect strings of up to 15 HBLEDs used in backlighting or edge lighting for Ultra High Definition TVs from ESD and EFT. Each four-line DFN array permits protecting up to four lines of LED strings. A single four-line device is sufficient for smaller outline displays, while large format displays require just one device per quadrant.
