Littelfuse – How we help circuit designers protect very small products from very big ESDs
Superior ESD Protection Comes in the Industry’s Smallest Footprint
Protection for a wide range of portable wireless electronic devices
The SP1013, SP1014, SP1020 and SP1021 Series TVS Diode Arrays offer the industry’s smallest ESD protection footprint.
The 0201 footprint but offering a 30 percent reduction in the board space required, allowing more clearance between components, and when compared with similar market solutions, the they offer 77.6 percent lower capacitance in a more compact form factor (01005 flip chip).
They feature back-to-back zener diodes to protect electronic equipment that may experience destructive electrostatic discharges (ESD). These robust diodes can safely absorb repetitive ESD strikes above the maximum level specified in the IEC61000-4-2 international standard (Level 4, ±8kV contact discharge) without performance degradation. Applications for the SP1013, SP1014, SP1020 and SP1021 Series include mobile phones, smartphones, tablets, wearable technology, portable medical devices, digital cameras, portable navigation devices, MP3/PMPs, and point of sale terminals.
Features
- Compelling package outlines: Fits on 0201 (SP1013 and SP1014) and 01005 (SP1020 and SP1021) footprint, with a smaller outline than standard 0.62×0.32mm
- Provide high ESD immunity and superior protection: ESD, IEC 61000-4-2, ±30kV contact, ±30kV air discharge (SP1013 and SP1020) and ±12kV contact, ±15kV air (SP1014 and SP1021); EFT, IEC 61000-4-4, 40A ; lightning, IEC 61000-4-5, 8A (SP1013), 5A (SP1020) and 2A (SP1014 and SP1021)
- Low capacitance of 30pF (SP1013), 20pF (SP1020) and 6pF (SP1014 and SP1021)
- Permits back-to-back 5V standoff (SP1013 and SP1014), 6V standoff (SP1020 and SP1021)
Benefits
- Enables 0.25mm product pitch, saves board space vs. other 0201 solutions (SP1013 and SP1014)
- 0.230mm x 0.440mm footprint helps save PCB area/cost (SP1020 and SP1021)
- ESD protection beyond the maximum rating in the IEC61000-4-2 standard gives customers more design margin and higher end-product reliability in the field
- Helps to preserve signal integrity and minimize data loss while offering a more robust device against electrical threats
- Supports low clamping voltage needed for protecting modern electronics filled with small-geometry ICs
- Standoff voltages enable protection of 95% of all interfaces
