TVS diodes are characterized by their high surge capability, low operating and clamping voltages, and fast response time. This makes them ideal for use as board level protection of sensitive semiconductor components. The dual-junction common-cathode design allows the user to protect one data or power line operating at ±12 volts. The low profile SOT23 package allows flexibility in the design of “crowded” circuit boards. The SDC15 TVS will meet the surge requirements of IEC 61000-4-2 (Formerly IEC 801-2), Level 4, “Human Body Model” for air and contact discharge. ## Features - 300 watts peak pulse power (tp = 8/20µs) - 40 watts peak pulse power (tp = 10/1000µs) - Transient protection for data and power lines to IEC 61000-4-2 (ESD) ±15kV (air), ±8kV (contact) IEC 61000-4-4 (EFT) 40A (5/50ns) IEC 61000-4-5 (Lightning) 12A (1.2/50µs) - Protects one bidirectional line - Low clamping voltage - Low leakage current - High surge capability - Solid-state silicon avalanche technology ## Mechanical Characteristics - JEDEC SOT23 package - Molding compound flammability rating: UL 94V-0 - Marking : DC15 - Packaging : Tape and Reel per EIA 481 ## Applications - RS-232 Data Lines - Portable Electronics - Industrial Controls - Set-Top Box - Servers, Notebook, and Desktop PC - 12V DC Supply Protection ## Circuit Diagram **==> picture [265 x 209] intentionally omitted <==** ## Schematic & PIN Configuration **==> picture [68 x 109] intentionally omitted <==** SOT23 (Top View) www.semtech.com Revision 12/15/04 1 SDC15 ## **PROTECTION PRODUCTS** ## Absolute Maximum Rating |**PROTECTION PRODUCTS**

www.semtech.com  2004 Semtech Corp. 3 SDC15 ## **PROTECTION PRODUCTS** ## Applications Information ## Device Connection for Protection of One Data Line The SDC15 is designed to protect one data or I/O line operating at ±12 volts. Connection options are as follows: - Common mode protection: Pin 1 is connected to the data line and pin 2 is connected to ground. For best results, this pin should be connected directly to a ground plane on the board. The path length should be kept as short as possible to minimize parasitic inductance. Pin 3 is not connected. - Differential protection: Pin 1 is connected to one line and pin 2 is connected to the second line. Pin 3 is not connected. ## Circuit Board Layout Recommendations for Suppression of ESD. Good circuit board layout is critical for the suppression of fast rise-time transients such as ESD. The following guidelines are recommended: - Place the SDC15 near the input terminals or connectors to restrict transient coupling. - Minimize the path length between the SDC15 and the protected line. - Minimize all conductive loops including power and ground loops. - The ESD transient return path to ground should be kept as short as possible. - Never run critical signals near board edges. - Use ground planes whenever possible. ## Matte Tin Lead Finish ## Device Schematic and Pin Configuration **==> picture [153 x 120] intentionally omitted <==** ## RS-232 Transceiver Protection Example **==> picture [242 x 177] intentionally omitted <==** Matte tin has become the industry standard lead-free replacement for SnPb lead finishes. A matte tin finish is composed of 100% tin solder with large grains. Since the solder volume on the leads is small compared to the solder paste volume that is placed on the land pattern of the PCB, the reflow profile will be determined by the requirements of the solder paste. Therefore, these devices are compatible with both lead-free and SnPb assembly techniques. In addition, unlike other lead-free compositions, matte tin does not have any added alloys that can cause degradation of the solder joint. www.semtech.com  2004 Semtech Corp. 4 SDC15 ## PROTECTION PRODUCTS ## Outline Drawing - SOT23 **==> picture [511 x 196] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**
