Surface Mount TRANSZORB
®
Transient Voltage Suppressors
APPLICATION NOTES
• Respect thermal resistance (PCB Layout) - as the
temperature coefficient also contributes to the clamping
voltage
• Select minimum breakdown voltage, so you get
acceptable power dissipation and PCB tie point
temperature
• Devices with higher breakdown voltage will have a shorter
conduction time and will dissipate less power
• Clamping voltage is influenced by internal resistance -
design approximation is 7 V per 100 mA slope
• Keep temperature of TVS lower than TOPSwitch
®
as a
recommendation
• Maximum current is determined by the maximum T
J
and
can be higher than 300 mA
• Contact supplier for different clamping voltage/
current arrangements
• Minimum breakdown voltage can be customized for other
applications. Contact supplier
• TOPSwitch is a registered trademark of Power
Integrations, Inc.
