Applications
Mechanical Characteristics
The SMS series of TVS arrays are designed to protect
sensitive electronics from damage or latch-up due to
ESD, lightning, and other voltage-induced transient
events. Each device will protect up to four lines operating
at 3.3 volts.
The SMS3.3 is a solid-state device designed specifically
for transient suppression. It 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
traditional pn junction processes. They offer desirable
characteristics for board level protection including fast
response time, low clamping voltage and no device
degradation.
The SMS3.3 may be used to meet the immunity require-
ments of IEC 61000-4-2, level 4 (±15kV air, ±8kV
contact discharge). The low cost SOT23-6L package
makes them ideal for use in portable electronics such
as cell phones, PDA’s, and notebook computers.
