Littelfuse introducesd 80A discrete bidirectional TVS Diode Arrays as the latest addition to its SP11xx Series TVS Diode Arrays (SPA Diodes).

SP1103C Series 80A Discrete Bidirectional TVS Diodes offer circuit designers lower standoff voltage options for protecting lower voltage power buses from electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.

Constructed using TVS diodes fabricated in a proprietary silicon avalanche technology, these diodes protect each I/O pin to provide a high level of protection for electronic equipment sensitive to destructive ESDs.

These robust diodes can safely absorb repetitive ESD strikes at ±30kV without performance degradation.

Additionally, each diode can safely dissipate 80A of 8/20µs surge current with very low clamping voltages.

Applications for SP1103C Series TVS Diode Arrays are commonly found in automotive electronics, industrial products, consumer electronics, switches/buttons, test equipment/instrumentation, point-of-sale terminals, medical equipment, notebooks/desktops/servers and computer peripherals.
