DESCRIPTION
APPEARANCE
The GMP-5 series is a low voltage Transient Voltage Suppressor designed
for the protection of integrated circuits with very low Clamping Voltages (VC).
Due to their very fast response time, protection level and high discharge
capability, they are extremely effective in providing protection against 5-volt
line transients generated by: voltage reversals, capacitive or inductive load
switching, electromechanical switching, electrostatic discharge and
electromagnetic coupling.
IMPORTANT: For the most current data, consult MICROSEMI’s website: http://www.microsemi.com
FEATURES
APPLICATIONS / BENEFITS
•
•
•
500 Watts Peak Pulse Power dissipation.
Working Voltage of 5 volts
•
The GMP-5 is a low voltage transient suppressor
designed for the protection of integrated circuits.
Characterized by a very low clamping voltage
together with a low standoff voltage, GMP-5’s afford
a high degree of protection to: TTL, ECL, DTL,
MOS, CMOS, VMOS, HMOS, NMOS and static
memory circuits susceptible to 5-volt line transients.
Protects TTL, ECL, DTL, MOS, CMOS, and MSI
Integrated circuits.
