Semtech Corporation announced the µClamp® 3381P, a single-line, 3.3V surge rated transient voltage suppression (TVS) device for safeguarding industrial and consumer interfaces against transient voltage threats.
The µClamp3381P achieves an unmatched surge/silicon area ratio offering 25A (8x20µs) surge immunity in an ultra-small 1.0 x 0.6 mm package. This surge handling performance is critical for safeguarding industrial data links to reliably transport data in harsh environments, including Internet of Things (IoT) end nodes, LCD televisions and display banners, tablets, surveillance cameras and optical modules.
Built on Semtech's industry-leading process technology, the µClamp3381P outperforms current industry solutions with nearly ideal ESD clamping characteristics. The dynamic resistance of the µClamp3381P is only 0.025 W, making the I-V curve characteristics of the device close to that of an ideal diode.
