CHICAGO, August 12, 2014 — Littelfuse, Inc., the global leader in circuit protection, has introduced the low-capacitance SP2574NUTG TVS Diode Array (SPA® Diode), designed to protect high-speed, differential data lines from damage due to ESD (electrostatic discharge), CDE (cable discharge events), EFT (electrical fast transients), and lightning-induced surges. The SP2574NUTG, which is part of the SP2574N Series of TVS Diode Arrays, can protect up to four channels or two differential pairs up to 40A (IEC61000-4-5) and 30kV ESD (IEC61000-4-2). Its low capacitance (just 3.8pF TYP from I/O to ground) and low clamping voltage (15 percent lower at 40A than other competitive solutions) make it ideal for protecting high-speed data interfaces, such as 1GbE applications found in notebooks, switches, servers, etc. It is also well-suited for use in WAN/LAN equipment, LVDS interfaces, integrated magnetics, and Smart TV applications.
“The SP2574NUTG helps design engineers protect state-of-the-art chipsets, such as Ethernet PHYs, from a variety of electrical threats that can lead to premature failure or soft errors,” said Chad Marak, director of the TVS Diode Arrays product line. “Its ‘flow-through’ design preserves signal integrity, reduces voltage overshoot, and simplifies PCB design.”
The SP2574NUTG TVS Diode Array offers these key benefits:
• Robust surge and ESD protection gives design engineers the utmost confidence that their designs will meet or exceed all regulatory requirements associated with GR-1089, ITU, and YD/T telecommunications standards.
• Extremely low dynamic resistance of 0.13Ω provides for a 15 percent lower clamping voltage at 40A than other competitive solutions.
• Low capacitance of 3.8pF (TYP) from each I/O to ground preserves signal integrity for high-speed, differential pair applications such as 1GbE.
• Low capacitance of 3.8pF (TYP) from each I/O to ground preserves signal integrity for high-speed, differential pair applications such as 1GbE.
• Small (3.0 x 2.0mm) µDFN-10 package saves precious board space and allows designers to route the traces directly underneath the device without the need for stub traces that could cause impedance mismatches.
