Littelfuse TVS Diode Array for Optimal ESD Protection of USB 3.0 Ports

The SP3012 Series of TVS Diode Arrays offers an extremely low loading of capacitance of only 0.5pF while providing robust ESD protection of ±12kV (contact discharge) exceeding the maximum level specified in the IEC61000-4-2 international standard. Having an ultra-low capacitance and market-leading clamping performance due to a 0.4 ohm dynamic resistance, the SP3012 Series is better suited to protect sensitive ICs used in high-speed applications such as USB3.0. In addition, the small µDFN-10 package (2.5 x 1.0 x 0.5mm) allows for a flow through design which simplifies board layout.

Features

• Ultra-low capacitanceof 0.5pF minimizes signal degradation and distortion in high-speed applications
• Market leading dynamic resistance of 0.4Ω allows best-in-class clamping performance to protect sensitive chipsets
• Enhanced ESD protection that exceeds the highest level of the IEC61000-4-2 standard (Level 4): ±12kV contact discharge, ±25kV air discharge
• Small form factor µDFN-10 package (2.5 x 1.0 x 0.5mm) allows straight-through routing and simplifies the PCB layout
