DESCRIPTION
APPEARANCE
This hermetically sealed 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 6.

drive the device into avalanche breakdown (V
