7 Application Information

The TSDxxC-Q1 are TVS diodes that provide a path to ground for dissipating transient voltage spikes (such as

ESD or surge) on signal lines and power lines. Connect the device in parallel to the down stream circuitry for

protection. As the current from the transient passes through the TVS, only a small voltage drop is present across

the diode. The small voltage drop is presented to the protected IC. The low RDYN of the triggered TVS holds this

voltage (VCLAMP) to a safe level for the protected IC. For more information on how to properly use this device,

refer to the ESD Packaging and Layout Guide.
