8.3 Feature Description

The TVS2700 is a precision clamp that handles 40 A of IEC 61000-4-5 8/20 µs surge pulse. The flat clamping feature helps keep the clamping voltage very low to keep the downstream circuits from being stressed. The flat clamping feature can also help end-equipment designers save cost by opening up the possibility to use lower-cost lower voltage tolerant downstream ICs. The TVS2700 has minimal leakage under the standoff voltage of 27 V, making it an ideal candidate for applications where low leakage and power dissipation is a necessity. IEC 61000-4-2 and IEC 61000-4-4 ratings make it a robust protection solution for ESD and EFT events. Wide ambient temperature range of –40°C to +125°C makes it a good candidate for most applications. Compact packages enable it to be used in small devices and save board area.
