TVS Diode Array
For ESD and Latch-Up Protection
Description
The SMF series TVS arrays are designed to protect sensitive electronics from damage or latch-up due to ESD
and other voltage-induced transient events. They are
designed for use in applications where board space is at
a premium. Each device will protect up to four lines.
They are unidirectional devices and may be used on lines
where the signal polarities are above ground.
TVS diodes are solid-state devices designed specifically
for transient suppression. They feature large cross-sectional area junctions for conducting high transient currents. They offer desirable characteristics for board level
protection including fast response time, low operating
and clamping voltage, and no device degradation.
The SMF series devices may be used to meet the immunity requirements of IEC 61000-4-2, level 4. The small
SC70 package makes them ideal for use in portable electronics such as cell phones, PDAs, notebook computers, and digital cameras.

Applications Information
SMF05 & SMF12
Device Connection for Protection of Four Data Lines
The SMFxx is designed to protect up to four unidirectional data lines. The device is connected as follows:
1. Unidirectional protection of four I/O lines is
achieved by connecting pins 1, 3, 4, and 5 to the
data lines. Pin 2 is 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.
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 SMFxx near the input terminals or con-
nectors to restrict transient coupling.
l Minimize the path length between the SMSxx 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.
