Low
Voltage µClampTM for ESD and CDE Protection
PROTECTION PRODUCTS - MicroClampTM Description
The µClamp series of Transient
Voltage Suppressors (TVS) are designed to replace multilayer varistors (MLVs) in portable applications such as cell phones, notebook computers, and PDAs. They offer superior electrical characteristics such as lower clamping
voltage and no device degradation when compared to MLVs. They are designed to protect sensitive semiconductor components from damage or upset due to electrostatic discharge (ESD), lightning, electrical fast transients (EFT), and cable discharge events (CDE). The µclampTM3301H is 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. They feature a true operating
voltage of 3.3 volts for superior protection when compared to traditional pn junction devices. The µclamp3301H is in a SOD-523 package and will protect one unidirectional line. They give the designer the flexibility to protect one line in applications where arrays are not practical. They may be used to meet the ESD immunity requirements of IEC 61000-4-2, Level 4 (15kV air, 8kV contact discharge).
