SL12.TCT

The SL12.TCT is a low capacitance TVS Diode for high speed data interfaces. It is designed to protect sensitive electronics from damage or latch-up due to ESD, lightning and other voltage-induced transient events. The device is designed specifically for transient suppression. It offers desirable characteristics for board level protection including fast response time, low operating and clamping voltage and no device degradation. The device features a low capacitance, fast switching compensation diode in series with a standard TVS diode. This effectively reduces the overall capacitance of the device to less than 5pF making it an integrated, low capacitance solution for use on high-speed interfaces. It may be used to meet the immunity requirements of IEC 61000-4-2, level 4.
