PROTECTION PRODUCTS
Description
The SMF series TVS arrays are designed to protect sen-
sitive electronics from damage or latch-up due to ESD
and other voltage-induced transient events. They are
designed for use in applications where board space is at
a premium. Each device will protect up to five lines. They
are unidirectional devices and may be used on lines where
the signal polarities are above ground.
TVS diodes are solid-state devices designed specifically
for transient suppression. They feature large cross-sec-
tional area junctions for conducting high transient cur-
rents. They offer desirable characteristics for board level
protection including fast response time, low operating
and clamping voltage, and no device degradation.
The SMF series devices may be used to meet the immu-
nity requirements of IEC 61000-4-2, level 4. The small
SC70 package makes them ideal for use in portable elec-
tronics such as cell phones, PDAs, notebook comput-
ers, and digital cameras.

The device is connected as follows:1.Unidirectional protection of five I/O lines isachieved by connecting pins 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 to thedata lines. Pin 2 is connected to ground. Theground connection should be made directly to theground plane for best results. The path length iskept as short as possible to reduce the effects ofparasitic inductance in the board traces.Circuit Board Layout Recommendations for Suppres-sion of ESD.Good circuit board layout is critical for the suppressionof ESD induced transients. The following guidelines arerecommended:lPlace the SMF05C near the input terminals orconnectors to restrict transient coupling.lMinimize the path length between the SMSxxC andthe protected line.lMinimize all conductive loops including power andground loops.lThe ESD transient return path to ground should bekept as short as possible.lNever run critical signals near board edges.lUse ground planes whenever possible.Applications Information
