3 Description
The TVS0701 device shunts up to 30 A of IEC
61000-4-5 fault current to protect systems from highpower
transients or lightning strikes. The device
survives the common industrial signal line EMC
requirement of 1-kV IEC 61000-4-5 open circuit
voltage coupled through a 42-Ω impedance. The
TVS0701 uses a feedback mechanism to ensure
precise flat clamping during a fault, keeping system
exposure lower than traditional TVS diodes. The tight
voltage regulation allows designers to confidently
select system components with a lower voltage
tolerance, lowering system costs and complexity
without sacrificing robustness. The TVS0701 has a
±7-V operating range to enable operation in systems
that require protection against reverse wiring
conditions.
In addition, the TVS0701 is available in a small SON
footprint designed for space constrained applications,
offering a significant size reduction compared to
standard SMA and SMB packages. Low device
leakage and capacitance ensure a minimal effect on
the protected line. To ensure robust protection over
the lifetime of the product, TI tests the TVS0701
against 5000 repetitive surge strikes at 125°C with no
shift in device performance.
The TVS0701 is part of TI's Flat-Clamp family of
surge devices. For a deeper look at the Flat-Clamp
family, refer to the Flat-Clamp Surge Protection
Technology for Efficient System Protection white
