ESD
Multilayer Chip Varistors (MLV) are Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) which manufactured from semicon
ductingceramics by the highly advanced multilayer formation technologies, which can offer rugged protection,
excellent transient energy absorption and internal heat dissipation. The devices are leadless chip form,
eliminating lead inductance and guaranteeing a faster speed of response time of less than 0.5ns, which makes the
m fast enough to ensure reliable protection against ESD pulse and other specific transient events. These transient
suppression devices are significantly smaller footprints and lower profiles than traditional zener diodes or radial
MOVs.

INFORMATION FOR DESIGNER
Voltage Dependent Characteristic
Transient Voltage Suppressors (Varistors) are voltage-dependent electrical resistors with symmetrical V/I
characteristic. Their resistance value decrease with increasing voltage, thus "short-circuiting" further rises
in overvoltage.
TERMS AND DESCRIPTIONS
Working DC Voltage (Vw(DC))
This is the maximum continuous DC voltage, which may be applied up to the maximum operating temperature
of the device. The rated DC operating voltage (working voltage) is also used as the reference point for leakage
current. This voltage is always less than the breakdown voltage of the device.
Working AC Voltage (Vw(AC))
This is the maximum continuous sinusoidal rms voltage, which maybe applied at any temperature up to the
maximum operating temperature of the device.
Maximum Surge Current (Peak Current IP )
(8/20 s)
This is the maximum peak current, which may be applied for an 8/20 s impulse, with rated line voltage also
applied, without causing device failure. The pulse can be applied to the device in either polarity with the same
confidence factor.
E
S
) Maximum Surge Energy (Es)
10/1000 s
This is the maximum rated transient energy which may be dissipated for a single current pulse at a specified
impulse duration (10/1000 s), with the rated DC or RMS voltage applied, without causing device failure.

(
(
<50 A)
500 A
9
In the no conducting mode, the device is at a very high impedance (approaching 10 ohms) andappears as an
almost open circuit in the system. The leakage current drawn at this level is very low(<50 A at ambient
temperature) and, unlike the zener diode, the multilayer varistors have the added advantage that, when
operated up to its maximum temperature, its leakage current will not increase above 500 A.
Varistor Voltage (VB(DC))
1mA
This is the voltage at which the device changes from the off state to the on state and enters its conduction mode of
operation. The voltage is usually characterized at the 1mA point.
Clamping Voltage (Vc)
8/20 s
This is the peak voltage appearing across the suppressor when measured at conditions of specified pulse current
and specified waveform (8/20 s). It is important to note that the peak current and peak voltage may not necessarily
be coincidental in time.
Capacitance (Cp)
1MHz
0.5V
This is the capacitance of the device at a specified frequency 1MHz and bias 0.5V
165
APPLICATION
The Prevention of Overvoltage
When the voltage increases above the threshold of MLV, the suppressor will draws a rapidly
increasing current, and then the overvoltage is considerably attenuated away from the protection
of the equipments should be supplemented by including specific components that will raise the
withstand capabilities to the required level. Varistors provide protection against all kind of overv
oltage and prevent electronic equipment from being damaged by transient events.
Specific Application
EF T
Suppression of Inductive Switching or Other Transient Events Such as EF T and Surge Voltage at
the Circuit Board Level.
ESD
Protection of Components and Circuits Sensitive to ESD Transients Occurring on Power supplies,
Control and Signal Lines.
IC CMOS MOSFET
Provides On-Board Transient Voltage Protection for ICs, CMOS and MOSFET.
TVS
Replace Larger Surface Mount TVS Zeners in Many Applications
Used to Help Achieve Electromagnetic Compliance of End Products
