TVS-Dioden Arrays safely absorb repetitive ESD strikes without performance degradation

The SP1103C includes TVS diodes fabricated in a proprietary silicon avalanche technology protect each I/O pin to provide a high level of protection for electronic equipment that may experience destructive electrostatic discharges (ESD).These robust diodes can safely absorb repetitive ESD strikes at ±30kV (contact discharge, IEC61000-4-2) without performance degradation.

Additionally, each diode can safely dissipate 80A of 8/20ms urge current (IEC61000-4-5, 2nd edition) with very low lamping voltages.
