ON Semi Intros Five TVS SOT5xx-Packaged Devices

June 25, 2003 by Jeff Shepard

ON Semiconductor Corp. (Phoenix, AZ) introduced five new protection devices that integrate multiple transient voltage suppression (TVS) components into a single 1.6mm x 1.6mm x 0.6mm SOT553 or SOT563 package. In addition to meeting strict electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection requirements, the SOT5xx-packaged TVS devices reduce board space by 36% and offer a 40% lower profile than conventional SC88 packages. They are suitable for use in portable applications such as cell phones, digital cameras, MP3 players, hand-held games and PDAs.

The five new devices are the 5.6V, uni-directional NZQA5V6XV5; the 6.2V, uni-directional NZQA6V2XV5; the 6.8V, uni-directional NZQA6V8XV5; the 6.8V, uni-directional NZQA6V8AXV5; and the 14V, bi-directional, low capacitance NUP4102XV6. The new devices protect four separate lines using one small package and are ESD rated to meet the IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 requirement. Some of the devices deliver low capacitance for high-speed data lines. Others are higher capacitance devices for more general use. Both uni-directional and bi-directional devices are available. Additionally, the new SOT5xx packages are manufactured for 260°C re-flow temperature processes and meet the 100% lead-free requirements.

All five of the new devices are currently in production and priced at $0.10 per unit in 10,000-unit quantities.
