Semiconductor company ProTek Devices has released a new low capacitance transient voltage suppressor (TVS) array designed to protect computing applications from the damaging effects of electrostatic discharge (ESD) and electrical fast transients (EFT).
“At higher operating frequencies or faster edge rates, insertion loss and signal integrity are a major circuit protection concern,” ProTek Devices said. “The PLR3311 is designed to remove these concerns.”
Contained within a molded JEDEC DFN-2-0402 package with lead-free pure-tin plating (annealed) and a solder reflow temperature (pure-tin – Sn, 100) of 260-270°C, the new PLR3311 TVS array offers very low capacitance (5pF [typical]) and low leakage current. Featuring 40 watts peak pulse power per line (tp = 8/20 micro amps) and a low clamping voltage, the component protects one bidirectional line and is provided with a rated 3.3 stand-off voltage. The PLR3311 TVS array meets IEC 61000-4-2 (ESD), IEC 61000-4-4 (EFT) and IEC 61000-4-5 (surge) standards requirements and is RoHS- and REACH-compliant.
