RATINGS AND CHARACTERISTICS CURVES

APPLICATION NOTE

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a major cause of failure in electronic systems. Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS)

are an ideal choice for ESD protection. They are capable of clamping the incoming transient to a low enough level such

that damage to the protected semiconductor is prevented.

Surface mount TVS offers the best choice for minimal lead inductance. They serve as parallel protection elements,

connected between the signal lines to ground. As the transient rises above the operating voltage of the device, the TVS

becomes a low impedance path diverting the transient current to ground. The SSESD05C is the ideal board-level

protection of ESD sensitive semiconductor components.

The tiny SOD-923 package allows design flexibility in the design of high density boards where the space saving is

at a premium. This enables to shorten the routing and contributes to hardening against ESD.
