This USB50803 – USB50824 family of Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) arrays is packaged in an SO-8 configuration giving protection to 2 unidirectional data or interface lines. It is designed for use in applications where very low capacitance protection is required at the board level from voltage transients caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD) as defined in IEC 61000-4-2, electrical fast transients (EFT) per IEC 61000-4-4 and secondary effects of lightning. Using the schematic on the last page, pins 7 & 8 are tied together for the first protected positive line, and pins 1 & 2 are tied together to the ground. The same would then occur where pins 5 & 6 are tied together for a second protected positive line and pins 2 & 3 are tied together to the ground. If protecting a negative line with respect to ground, these may be switched in polarity connections where the pins are tied together in this manner for unidirectional protection. These TVS arrays have a peak power rating of 500 watts for an 8/20 sec pulse. This array is suitable for protection of sensitive circuitry such as TTL, CMOS DRAM’s, SRAM’s, HCMOS, HSIC microprocessors, Universal Serial Bus (USB) and I/O transceivers.
