SLVE2.8

The SLV series of transient voltage suppressors are designed to protect low voltage, state-of-the-art CMOS semiconductors from transients caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD), cable discharge events (CDE), lightning and other induced voltage surges.

The devices are constructed using Semtech's proprietary EPD process technology. The EPD process provides low standoff voltages with significant reductions in leakage currents and capacitance over siliconavalanche diode processes. The SLVE2.8 & SLVG2.8 are in a SOT-143 package and have a low 2.8V working voltage. They may be used to protect one line in differential or common mode. The "flow-thru" design minimizes trace inductance and reduces voltage overshoot associated with ESD events.

The SLV is specifically designed to protect low voltage components such as Ethernet transceivers, laser diodes, ASICs, and high-speed RAM. The low clamping voltage of the SLV minimizes the stress on the protected IC.

The SLV series TVS diodes will exceed the surge requirements of IEC 61000-4-2, Level 4.
