Low Capacitance TVS Array
Description Features
Circuit Diagram Schematic and PIN Configuration
Revision 01/15/08
RailClamps are surge rated diode arrays designed to
protect high speed data interfaces. The SRDA series
has been specifically designed to protect sensitive
components which are connected to data and trans-
mission lines from overvoltage caused by electrostatic
discharge (ESD), electrical fast transients (EFT), and
lightning.
The unique design incorporates surge rated, low
capacitance steering diodes and a TVS diode in a
single package. During transient conditions, the
steering diodes direct the transient current to ground
via the internal low voltage TVS. The TVS diode clamps
the transient voltage to a safe level. The low capaci-
tance array configuration allows the user to protect up
to four high-speed data lines.
The SRDA3.3-4 is constructed using Semtech’s
proprietary EPD process technology. The EPD process
provides low stand-off voltages with significant reduc-
tions in leakage current and capacitance over silicon-
avalanche diode processes. They feature a true
operating voltage of 3.3 volts for superior protection.
These devices are in a 8-pin SOIC package. It mea-
sures 3.9 x 4.9mm. They are available with a SnPb or
RoHS/WEEE compliant matte tin lead finish. The high
surge capability (Ipp=25A, tp=8/20μs) means it can be
used in high threat environments in applications such
as CO/CPE equipment, telecommunication lines, and
video lines.

SRDA3.3-4
Data Line Protection Using Internal TVS Diode as
Reference
Applications Information
Device Connection Options for Protection of Four
High-Speed Data Lines
These devices are designed to protect low voltage data
lines operating at 3.3 volts. When the voltage on the
protected line exceeds the punch-through or “turn-on”
voltage of the TVS diode, the 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. Pins 5
and 8 should be connected directly to a ground plane.
The path length is kept as short as possible to
minimize parasitic inductance.
Note that pins 2 and 3 are connected internally to the
cathode of the low voltage TVS. It is not recommended
that these pins be directly connected to a DC source
greater than the snap-back votlage (VSB) as the device
can latch on as described below.
EPD TVS Characteristics
These devices are constructed using Semtech’s
proprietary EPD technology. By utilizing the EPD tech-
nology, the SRDA3.3-4 can effectively operate at 3.3V
while maintaining excellent electrical characteristics.
The EPD TVS employs a complex nppn structure in
contrast to the pn structure normally found in tradi-
tional silicon-avalanche TVS diodes. Since the EPD
TVS devices use a 4-layer structure, they exhibit a
slightly different IV characteristic curve when compared
to conventional devices. During normal operation, the
device represents a high-impedance to the circuit up to
the device working voltage (VRWM). During an ESD
event, the device will begin to conduct and will enter a
low impedance state when the punch through voltage
(VPT) is exceeded. Unlike a conventional device, the low
voltage TVS will exhibit a slight negative resistance
characteristic as it conducts current. This characteris-
tic aids in lowering the clamping voltage of the device,
but must be considered in applications where DC
voltages are present.
When the TVS is conducting current, it will exhibit a
slight “snap-back” or negative resistance characteris-
tics due to its structure. This point is defined on the
curve by the snap-back voltage (VSB) and snap-back

current (ISB). To return to a non-conducting state, the
current through the device must fall below the ISB
(approximately <50mA) and the voltage must fall below
the VSB (normally 2.8 volts for a 3.3V device). If a 3.3V
TVS is connected to 3.3V DC source, it will never fall
below the snap-back voltage of 2.8V and will therefore
stay in a conducting state.
