Ten component sample kit available for TVS diodes

TDK Corporation has introduced a sample kit (B74999T9999M099) comprising ten different ultra-compact TVS diodes. Five of them belong to the general-purpose GP series, which protects against overvoltage on applications, including smartphones, tablets, notebooks, wearables, and network components; five others belong to the high-speed ULC series, tuned for particularly sensitive high-speed interfaces (e.g., USB-C, Thunderbolt, HDMI, Display Port, MIPI, FireWire, DVI, S-ATA, or SWP/NFC). These protection diodes are available in the ultra-compact packages WL-CSP01005 (400 x 200μm) and WL-CSP0201 (600 x 300μm).

Thanks to the wide range of clamping voltages from 3.8V to 27V, the low leakage currents and the fast response time, the TVS diodes reliably protect diverse applications from electrostatic discharges. Because of the ultra-low profile of 100µm or 150µm, they are an exceptional solution to safeguard smartphones, wireless earphones, smartwatches, and many other portable applications with limited space against ESD. Due to the very low capacitances starting at 0.18pF, signal integrity is ensured even with very demanding high-speed interfaces.
