SEMTECH SLVU2.8-8

The SLV series EPD TVS Diode Array used for ESD and latch-up protection. It is designed to protect low voltage, state-of-the-art CMOS semiconductors from transients caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD), cable discharge events (CDE), lightning and other induced voltage surges. The device is constructed using Semtech's proprietary EPD process technology. The EPD process provides low standoff voltages with significant reductions in leakage currents and capacitance over silicon avalanche diode processes. It features an integrated low capacitance compensation diode that allows the device to be configured to protect one unidirectional line or when paired with a second SLVU2.8, two high-speed line pairs. The low capacitance design of the device means signal integrity is preserved in high-speed applications such as 10/100 Ethernet. The flow-thru design minimizes trace inductance and reduces voltage overshoot associated with ESD events.
