SMDA05CN-5 THRU SMDA15CN-5
Bidirectional TVS Array
for Protection of Five Lines
Description
The SMDAxxCN-5 series of transient voltage suppressors are designed to protect components which are
connected to data and transmission lines from voltage
surges caused by ESD (electrostatic discharge), EFT
(electrical fast transients), and lightning.
TVS diodes are characterized by their high surge
capability, low operating and clamping voltages, and
fast response time. This makes them ideal for use as
board level protection of sensitive semiconductor
components. The SMDAxxCN-5 is designed to provide
transient suppression on multiple data lines and I/O
ports. The low profile SO-8 design allows the user to
protect up to five data and I/O lines with one package.
The SMDAxxCN-5 TVS diode array will meet the surge
requirements of IEC 61000-4-2 (Formerly IEC 801-2),
Level 4, Human Body Model for air and contact
discharge.

Device Connection Options for Protection of Four or
Five Data Lines
The SMDAxxCN-5 can be configured to protect either
four or five bidirectional data lines. The options for
connecting the devices are as follows:
1. Bidirectional protection of four I/O lines is achieved
by connecting pins 1, 2, 3, and 4 to the data lines.
Pins 5, 6, 7, and 8 are connected to ground. The
ground connection should be made directly to the
ground plane for best results. The path length is
kept as short as possible to reduce the effects of
parasitic inductance in the board traces. In this
configuration, the device can withstand the maximum specified transient impulse on four lines
simultaneously.
2. Bidirectional protection of five I/O lines is achieved
by connecting pins 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 to the data
lines. Pins 6, 7, and 8 are connected to ground.
The ground connection should be made directly to
the circuit board ground plane for best results. In
this configuration, the device can withstand the
maximum rated transient impulse on any two lines
simultaneously.

Circuit Board Layout Recommendations for Suppression of ESD.
Good circuit board layout is critical for the suppression
of ESD induced transients. The following guidelines are
recommended:
l Place the TVS near the input terminals or connec-
tors to restrict transient coupling.
l Minimize the path length between the TVS and the
protected line.
l Minimize all conductive loops including power and
ground loops.
l The ESD transient return path to ground should be
kept as short as possible.
l Never run critical signals near board edges.
l Use ground planes whenever possible.
