FUNCTIONAL DIAGRAM
DESCRIPTION
Transil diode arrays provide high overvoltage
protection by clamping action. Their instantaneous
response to transient overvoltages makes them
particularly suited to protect voltage sensitive
devices such as MOS Technology and low voltage
supplied IC’s.
The ITA series allies high surge capability against
energetic pulses with high voltage performance
against ESD.

This monolithic Transil Array is based on 6
unidirectional Transils with a common cathode and
can be configurated to offer up to 5 bidirectional
functions. This imposes a maximum differential
voltage between 2 input pins (see opposite table).
Typical application : RS232 junction.
