SRDA70-4
RailClamp
Low Capacitance TVS Diode Array
Ò
Description
RailClamps are surge rated diode arrays designed to
protect high speed data interfaces. The SRDA70-4 has
been specifically designed to protect sensitive components which are connected to data and transmission
lines from over-voltages caused by ESD (electrostatic
discharge), EFT (electrical fast transients), and light-
ning.
The unique design of the SRDA70-4 integrates eight
surge rated, low capacitance steering diodes in a low
profile SO-8 package. During transient conditions, the
steering diodes direct the transient to either the
positive side of the power supply line or to ground. The
SRDA70-4 may be used as a stand alone device or in
conjunction with TVS diodes for enhanced protection.
The low capacitance array configuration allows the user
to protect four high speed data or I/O lines. The low
inductance construction minimizes voltage overshoot
during high current surges.

Applications Information
Device Connection Options for Protection of Four
High-Speed Data Lines
The SRDA70-4 TVS is designed to protect four data
lines from transient over-voltages by clamping them to
a fixed reference. When the voltage on the protected
line exceeds the reference voltage (plus diode V
steering diodes are forward biased, conducting the
transient current away from the sensitive circuitry.
Data lines are connected at pins 1, 4, 6 and 7. The
negative reference (REF2) is connected at pins 5 & 8.
These pins should be connected directly to a ground
plane on the board for best results. The path length is
kept as short as possible to minimize parasitic inductance.
The positive reference (REF1) is connected at pins 2 &
3. The options for connecting the positive reference
are as follows:

Microcontroller Protection
1. To protect data lines and the power line, connect
pins 2 & 3 directly to the positive supply rail (V
).
CC
In this configuration the data lines are referenced
to the supply voltage. An external TVS diode may
be added between the supply rail and ground in
order to prevent over-voltage on the supply rail.
2. The SRDA70-4 can be isolated from the power
supply by adding a series resistor between pins 2 &
3 and V
. A value of 10kW is recommended. The
CC
internal steering diodes remain biased, providing
the advantage of lower capacitance.
3. In applications where no positive supply reference
is available, or complete supply isolation is desired,
an external TVS diode may be used as the reference. The steering diodes will begin to conduct
when the voltage on the protected line exceeds the
working voltage of the TVS (plus one diode drop).
