DESCRIPTION
APPEARANCE
This hermetically sealed Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) product family
includes a rectifier diode element in series and opposite direction to achieve low
capacitance performance below 100 pF (see Figure 2). The low level of TVS
capacitance may be used for protecting higher frequency applications in inductive
switching environments or electrical systems involving secondary lightning effects
per IEC61000-4-5 as well as RTCA/DO-160D or ARINC 429 for airborne
avionics. With virtually instantaneous response, they also protect from ESD and
EFT per IEC61000-4-2 and IEC61000-4-4. If bipolar transient capability is
required, two of these low capacitance TVS devices may be used in parallel in
DO-13
(DO-202AA)
opposite directions (anti-parallel) for complete ac protection as shown in Figure 4.

* TVS devices are not typically used for dc power dissipation and are instead operated < VWM (rated standoff voltage) except for transients that briefly
drive the device into avalanche breakdown (VBR to VC region) of the TVS element. Also see Figures 3 and 4 for further protection details in rated peak
pulse power for unidirectional and bidirectional configurations respectively.
