The SM712 may be used to protect devices from transient voltages resulting from electrostatic discharge (ESD), electrical fast transients (EFT), and lightning. The SM712 features 400 Watts (tp = 8/20µs) of power handling capability to accommodate the higher transient voltage levels which may be expected in extended common mode applications. This provides higher equipment reliability and eliminates the “guess work” required when using zener diodes that are not rated to handle such transient conditions. The SM712 replaces four discrete components by integrating two 12V and two 7V TVS diodes in a single package. The integrated design aids in reducing voltage over-shoot associated with trace inductance. The low clamping voltage of the SM712 minimizes the stress on the protected transceiver. The SOT23 package allows flexibility in the design of “crowded” circuit boards. ## Features - 400 watts peak pulse power (t = 8/20µs) p - Transient protection for asymmetrical data 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 (8/20µs) - Protects two +12V to -7V lines - Low capacitance - Low clamping voltage - Solid-state silicon avalanche technology ## Mechanical Characteristics - JEDEC SOT23 package - Molding compound flammability rating: UL 94V-0 - Marking : 712 - Packaging : Tape and Reel per EIA 481 ## Applications - Protection of RS-485 transceivers with extended common-mode range - Security systems - Automatic Teller Machines - HFC systems - Networks ## Circuit Diagram **==> picture [265 x 209] intentionally omitted <==** ## Schematic & PIN Configuration **==> picture [127 x 94] intentionally omitted <==** SOT23 (Top View) www.semtech.com Revision 11/17/04 1 SM712 ## **PROTECTION PRODUCTS** ## Absolute Maximum Rating |**PROTECTION PRODUCTS**

www.semtech.com  2004 Semtech Corp. 3 SM712 ## **PROTECTION PRODUCTS** ## Applications Information ## Device Connection for Protection of Two RS-485 Data Lines EIA RS-485 specifies a ±7V ground difference between devices on the bus. This permits the bus voltage to range from +12V (5V + 7V) to -7V (0 - 7V). The SM712 is designed to protect two RS-485 data lines in extended common mode applications. The SM712 may be used to protect devices from transient voltages resulting from ESD, EFT, and lightning. The device is designed with asymmetrical operating voltages for optimum protection. The TVS diodes at pins 1 and 2 have a working voltage of 12 volts. These pins are connected to the differential data line pairs. The TVS diodes at pin 3 have a working voltage of 7 volts. Pin 3 is connected to ground. The internal TVS diodes of the SM712 will protect the transceiver input from positive transient voltage spikes greater than 12V and negative spikes greater than 7V. A series current limiting resistor may be added in applications requiring enhanced surge immunity. ## Circuit Board Layout Recommendations. ## RS-485 Common Mode Voltages **==> picture [254 x 85] intentionally omitted <==** ## RS-485 Protection Circuit **==> picture [62 x 56] intentionally omitted <==** **==> picture [63 x 118] intentionally omitted <==** Good circuit board layout is critical for the suppression of fast rise-time transients such as ESD. The following guidelines are recommended: - Place the SM712 near the input terminals or connectors to restrict electromagnetic coupling. - Minimize the path length between the SM712 and the protected line. This minimizes voltage overshoot due to parasitic inductance of board traces. - Use ground planes whenever possible. - Long, single trace ground conductors should be avoided. The ground pin (Pin 3) should be connected directly to a ground plane on the circuit board for best results. - Minimize all conductive loops including power and ground loops. - Never run critical signals near board edges. www.semtech.com  2004 Semtech Corp. 4 SM712 ## PROTECTION PRODUCTS ## Outline Drawing - SOT23 **==> picture [511 x 196] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**
