DESCRIPTION
Thisis a specifictransil arrayforRS232,RS423 interface protection developed in monolithic chip
forminordertoprovide a high surge capabilityand
a low clamping voltage
For surgesgreater than the maximum value specified, the
input/output will present first a short circuit to the common
bus line and after an open circuit causedby the wire.

The ITAxxC1 can be used as a 5 bidirectional
TransilArray.
Groundcanbeconnectedto any pin (except6and
7).
The other pins are used as INPUTS and OUTPUTS.
The bidirectional function is made with 2 unidirectional Transils T1 and T2. One example with
groundon Pin 8 is shownin Fig 6.
This configuration allows to withstand only one
specifiedsurgeatthesametime.
