A TVS diode suitable for ESD protection of a low voltage signal line: DF2B5SL
Product News 2018-07
Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has launched "DF2B5SL", a TVS diode (ESD protection diode) of the standard type which set the maximum reverse stand-off voltage to 3.3 V.
Mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets tend to lower their system voltages to reduce power consumption. Because of this, signal voltages are becoming lower. By selecting a TVS diode suitable for the signal voltage, excessive voltage to ICs in subsequent stages can be suppressed to prevent them from being destroyed.
Featuring a maximum reverse stand-off voltage of 3.3 V, which is lower than that of the existing product[1], the new product DF2B5SL is suitable for ESD protection of low voltage signal lines. It also has a low clamping voltage, allowing the impact on circuits in subsequent stages to be suppressed.
The new product uses the small SOD-962 package (Toshiba’s package name: SL2). It can reduce the mounting area on a board, allowing it to be used for various applications.
Notes:
