DESCRIPTION
APPEARANCE
This 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 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.
