uClamp3324P
Low Voltage TVS
for ESD Protection
PROTECTION PRODUCTS - MicroClampTM
Features
Description
The µClampTM series of TVS arrays are designed to
protect sensitive electronics from damage or latch-up
due to ESD, lightning, and other voltage-induced
transient events. Each device will protect up to four
lines operating at 3.3 volts.
Transient protection for data lines to
IEC 61000-4-2 (ESD) ±15kV (air), ±8kV (contact)
IEC 61000-4-4 (EFT) 40A (tp = 5/50ns)
Small package for use in portable electronics
Protects four I/O
Working voltage: 3.3V
Flow thru design for easy layout
Low leakage current
Low operating and clamping voltages
Solid-state silicon-avalanche technology
The µClampTM3324P is a solid-state device designed
specifically for transient suppression. It is constructed
using Semtech’s proprietary EPD process technology.
The EPD process provides low standoff voltages with
significant reductions in leakage currents and capaci-
tance over traditional pn junction processes. They offer
desirable characteristics for board level protection
including fast response time, low clamping voltage and
no device degradation.
Mechanical Characteristics
SLP2116P8 package
RoHs Compliant
Nominal Dimensions: 2.1 x 1.6 x 0.58 mm
Lead Pitch: 0.5mm
Lead Finish: NiPd
Marking : Orientation Mark and Marking Code
Packaging : Tape and Reel per EIA 481
The µClamp3324P may be used to meet the immunity
requirements of IEC 61000-4-2, level 4 (±15kV air,
±8kV contact discharge). The “flow-thru” design of the
device results in enhanced ESD performance due to
reduced board trace inductance. The result is lower
clamping voltage and a higher level of protection when
compared to conventional TVS devices.
Applications
Cellular Handsets & Accessories
Personal Digital Assistants (PDA’s)
Notebooks & Handhelds
Portable Instrumentation
Digital Cameras
The µClamp3324P is in an 8-pin, RoHs compliant,
SLP2116P8 package. It measures 2.1 x 1.6 x
0.58mm. The leads are spaced at a pitch of 0.5mm
and are finished with lead-free NiPd. The small pack-
age makes it ideal for use in portable electronics such
as cell phones, digital still cameras, and notebook
computers.
