New range of TVS diodes from NXP

13 May 2009 Circuit & System Protection

NXP Semiconductors recently developed a new range of transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diodes housed in the new FlatPower package, SOD123W. Offering a 400 W peak pulse power rating (10/1000 µs), the new diodes dissipate approximately 67 W/mm2 surge per PCB area.

The diodes are designed to protect voltage-sensitive components against transient voltage in various electronic applications like power supplies, data or signal lines, medical equipment and telecommunication circuits. Qualified to the AEC-Q101 standard, the new FlatPower TVS devices can be used for all automotive and industrial applications. Because of its low leakage current of 1 nA and small size, the SOD123W device can also be used in battery driven products where space is a constraint.

The first 18 parts of the product family come with stand-off voltages from 3,3 V to 18 V and an additional 17 types with stand-off voltages up to 64 V will be released in mid 2009 to complete the portfolio.
