Description
AZ2015-04S is a design which includes surge
rated clamping cell arrays to protect the power
lines or data/control lines in an electronic
systems. The AZ2015-04S has been specifically
designed to protect sensitive components which
are connected to power and control lines from
over-voltage caused by Electrostatic Discharging
(ESD), Electrical Fast Transients (EFT), and
Lightning.
AZ2015-04S is a unique design which includes
proprietary clamping cells in a single package.
During transient conditions, the proprietary
clamping cells prevent over-voltage on the power
lines or control lines, protecting any downstream
components.
AZ2015-04S may be used to meet the ESD
immunity requirements of IEC 61000-4-2, Level 4
(±15kV air,
±8kV
contact discharge).

AZ2015-04S
Transient Voltage Suppressing Array
For ESD/Transient Protection
Applications Information
The AZ2015-04S is designed to protect four lines
against System ESD/EFT/Lightning pulses by
clamping them to an acceptable reference.
The usage of the AZ2015-04S is shown in Fig. 1.
Protected lines, such as data lines, control lines,
or power lines, are connected at pin 1, 3, 4, and 5.
The pin 2 should be connected directly to a
ground plane on the board. All path lengths
connected to the pins of AZ2015-04S should be
kept as short as possible to minimize parasitic
inductance in the board traces.
In order to obtain enough suppression of ESD
induced transient, good circuit board is critical.
Thus, the following guidelines are recommended:
Minimize the path length between the
protected lines and the AZ2015-04S.
Place the AZ2015-04S near the input
terminals or connectors to restrict transient
coupling.
The ESD current return path to ground
should be kept as short as possible.
Use ground planes whenever possible.
NEVER route critical signals near board
edges and near the lines which the ESD
transient easily injects to.
Fig. 2 shows an example of PCB layout with the
AZ2015-04S.
