ITAxxB3 Bidirectional Transil, transient voltage surge suppressor (TVS) array for data line protection Datasheet production data Features High surge capability Transil array: I = 40 A (8/20 s) PP Peak pulse power: 300 W (8/20 s) Separated input - output SO-20 Up to 9 bidirectional Transil functions Low clamping factor (V /V ) at high current CL BR Description level Transil diode arrays provide high overvoltage Low leakage current protection by clamping action. Their ESD protection up to 15 kV instantaneous response to transient overvoltages makes them particularly suited to protect voltage Complies with the following standards sensitive devices such as MOS technology and low voltage supplied ICs. IEC 61000-4-2 level 4 15 kV (air discharge) The ITA series combines high surge capability 8 kV (contact discharge) against energetic pulses with high voltage performance against ESD. MIL STD 883G- Method 3015-7: class 3B 25 kV (human body model) The separated input/output configuration of the device ensures improved protection against very fast transient overvoltage like ESD by elimination Applications of the spikes induced by parasitic inductances created by external wiring.
