SD05 & SD12
Single Line TVS Diode for ESD
Protection in Portable Electronics
Description
The SDxx TVS diodes are designed to replace multilayer
varistors (MLVs) in portable applications such as cell
phones, notebook computers, and PDAs. They offer
superior electrical characteristics such as lower clamping voltage and no device degradation when compared
to MLVs. The SDxx series TVS diodes are designed to
protect sensitive semiconductor components from
damage or upset due to electrostatic discharge (ESD)
and other voltage induced transient events.
The SDxx is in a SOD-323 package and will protect one
unidirectional line. They are available with working
voltages of 5 volts (SD05) and 12 volts (SD12). These
devices will fit on the same PCB pad area as an 0805
MLV device. They give the designer the flexibility to
protect one line in applications where arrays are not
practical. Additionally, it may be sprinkled around the
board in applications where board space is at a premium.

Applications Information
Device Connection Options
The SDxx TVS diodes are designed to protect one data,
I/O, or power supply line. The device is designed to
replace multi-layer varistors (MLVs) in portable
applications. It is easily implemented on existing 0805
MLV pads and is only slightly larger than 0603 MLV
pads. The device is unidirectional and may be used on
lines where the signal polarity is above ground. The
cathode band should be placed towards the line that is
to be protected.
Circuit Board Layout Recommendations for Suppression of ESD.
Good circuit board layout is critical for the suppression
of fast rise-time transients such as ESD. The following
guidelines are recommended (Refer to application note
SI99-01 for more detailed information):
SD05 & SD12
Device Schematic & Pin Configuration
Size Comparison to 0805 MLV
l Place the TVS near the input terminals or
connectors to restrict transient coupling.
l Minimize the path length between the TVS and
the protected line.
l The ESD transient return path to ground should
be kept as short as possible.
l Place a TVS & decoupling capacitor between
power and ground of components that may be
vulnerable to electrostatic discharges to the
ground plane.
l Minimize all conductive loops including power
and ground loops.
l Use multilayer boards when possible.
l Minimize interconnecting line lengths
l Never run critical signals near board edges.
l Fill unused portions of the PCB with ground
plane.
