The SP723 is an array of SCR/Diode bipolar structures for
ESD and over-voltage protection of sensitive input circuits.
The SP723 has 2 protection SCR/Diode device structures
per input. There are a total of 6 available inputs that can be
used to protect up to 6 external signal or bus lines. Overvoltage protection is from the IN (Pins 1 - 3 and Pins 5 - 7)
to V+ or V-.
The SCR structures are designed for fast triggering at a
threshold of one +V
a -V
diode threshold below V- (Pin 4). From an IN input,
BE
a clamp to V+ is activated if a transient pulse causes the
input to be increased to a voltage level greater than one
V
above V+. A similar clamp to V- is activated if a negative
BE
pulse, one V
less than V-, is applied to an IN input.

Notes:
2. In automotive ans battery operated systems, the power supply lines should be externally protected for load dump and reverse battery. When the V+ and V- Pins are connected to the same
supply voltage source as the device or control line under protection, acurrent limiting resistor should be connectied in series between the external supply and the SP723 supply pins to
limit reverse battery current to within the rated maximum limits. Bypass capacitors of typically 0.01µF or larger from the V+ and V- Pins to ground are recommended.
3. Refer to the Figure 3 graph for determine peak current and dessipation under EOS conditions.

Specifications are subject to change without notice.
ESD capability is dependent on the application and defined
test standard.The evaluation results for various test
standards and methods based on Figure 1 are shown in
Table 1.
The SP723 has a Level 4 HBM capability when tested as a
device to the IEC 61000-4-2 standard. Level 4 specifies a
required capability greater than 8kV for direct discharge and
greater than 15kV for air discharge.
For the “Modified” MIL-STD-3015.7 condition that is
defined as an “in-circuit” method of ESD testing, the V+
and V- pins have a return path to ground and the SP723
ESD capability is typically greater than 25kV from 100pF
through 1.5kΩ. By strict definition of MIL-STD-3015.7 using
“pin-to-pin” device testing, the ESD voltage capability is
greater than 10kV.
For the SP723 EIAJ IC121 Machine Model (MM) standard,
the ESD capability is typically greater than 2kV from 200pF
with no series resistance.

Peak Transient Current Capability of the SP723
®
Diodes)
The peak transient current capability rises sharply as the
width of the current pulse narrows. Destructive testing
was done to fully evaluate the SP723’s ability to withstand
a wide range of peak current pulses vs time. The circuit
used to generate current pulses is shown in Figure 4.
The test circuit of Figure 4 is shown with a positive pulse
input. For a negative pulse input, the (-) current pulse input
goes to an SP723 ‘IN’ input pin and the (+) current pulse
input goes to the SP723 V- pin. The V+ to V- supply of the
SP723 must be allowed to float. (i.e., It is not tied to the
ground reference of the current pulse generator.) Figure
5 shows the point of overstress as defined by increased
leakage in excess of the data sheet published limits.
The maximum peak input current capability is dependent
on the ambient temperature, improving as the temperature
is reduced. Peak current curves are shown for ambient
temperatures of 25ºC and 105ºC and a 15V power supply
condition. The safe operating range of the transient peak
current should be limited to no more than 75% of the
measured overstress level for any given pulse width as
shown in the curves of Figure 5.
Note that adjacent input pins of the SP723 may be
paralleled to improve current (and ESD) capability. The
sustained peak current capability is increased to nearly
twice that of a single pin.
