Sample kit for TVS diodes includes general purpose- and high speed models
TDK offers a sample kit for TVS (transient voltage suppression) diodes. The B74999T9999M099 kit consists of 10 types of compact TVS diodes, five from the company’s general purpose GP series and five from its high speed ULC series.
The general purpose diodes protect against over-voltage on applications such as smartphones, tablets, notebooks, wearables and network components. The high speed ULC series diodes are tuned for particularly sensitive high speed interfaces (e.g., USB-C, Thunderbolt, HDMI, Display Port, MIPI, FireWire, DVI, S-ATA, or SWP / NFC).
The protection diodes are available in the compact packages WL-CSP01005 (400 x 200 micron) and WL-CSP0201 (600 x 300 micron). The diodes’ clamping voltages range from 3.8 to 27V and have low leakage currents and fast response times in order to protect from ESD (electrostatic discharges) of up to 25kV. The low profile of 100 micron (01005) or 150 micron (0201) ensure they can be used to protect smartphones, wireless earphones, smartwatches, and many other portable applications with limited space. Due to the very low capacitances starting at 0.18 pF, signal integrity is guaranteed even with very demanding high speed interfaces, added TDK.
TDK is based in Tokyo, Japan. It was established in 1935 to commercialise ferrite, a key material in electronic and magnetic products. TDK‘s portfolio features passive components such as ceramic, aluminium electrolytic and film capacitors, as well as magnetics, high-frequency, and piezo and protection devices. It also includes sensors and sensor systems such as temperature and pressure, magnetic, and MEMS sensors. In addition, TDK provides power supplies and energy devices and magnetic heads. Products are marketed under the product brands TDK, Epcos, InvenSense, Micronas, Tronics and TDK-Lambda.
TDK focuses on demanding markets in automotive, industrial and consumer electronics, and information and communication technology. The company has a network of design and manufacturing locations and sales offices in Asia, Europe, and in North and South America.
