TVS diode arrays protect smart watches and medical devices

Bidirectional discrete TVS diode arrays in the SP1026 series are designed specifically to protect sensitive electronic equipment from damage due to electrostatic discharges (ESD). Littelfuse uses Zener diodes fabricated using a proprietary silicon avalanche technology to protect each I/O pin to provide a high level of protection against ESD. The robust, general-purpose diodes can absorb repetitive ESD strikes at ±30kV (contact discharge, IEC 61000-4-2) without performance degradation, says the company. Each diode can dissipate 5A of 8 or 20micro sec surge current (IEC61000-4-5) with very low clamping voltages.
