Low Capacitance TVS Diode Array
Description Features
Circuit Diagram Schematic and PIN Configuration
Revision 8/21/07
RailClamps are surge rated diode arrays designed to
protect high speed data interfaces. The SRDA series
has been specifically designed to protect sensitive
components which are connected to data and trans-
mission lines from overvoltage caused by electrostatic
discharge (ESD), electrical fast transients (EFT), and
lightning.
The unique design incorporates surge rated, low
capacitance steering diodes and a TVS diode in a
single package. During transient conditions, the
steering diodes direct the transient current to ground
via the internal low voltage TVS. The TVS diode clamps
the transient voltage to a safe level. The low capaci-
tance array configuration allows the user to protect up
to four high-speed data lines. The SRDA05-4 may be
used to protect lines operating up to 5 volts while the
SRDA12-4 may be used on lines operating up to 12
volts.
These devices are in a 8-pin SOIC package. They are
available with a SnPb or RoHS/WEEE compliant matte
tin lead finish. The high surge capability (Ipp=25A,
tp=8/20μs) means it can be used in high threat
environments in applications such as CO/CPE equip-
ment, telecommunication lines, and video lines.

Device Connection Options for Protection of Four
High-Speed Lines
The SRDA TVS is designed to protect four data lines
from transient overvoltages by clamping them to a
fixed reference. When the voltage on the protected
line exceeds the reference voltage (plus diode VF) the
steering diodes are forward biased, conducting the
transient current away from the sensitive circuitry.
Data lines are connected at pins 1, 4, 6 and 7. The
negative reference is connected at pins 5 and 8.
These pins should be connected directly to a ground
plane on the board for best results. The path length is
kept as short as possible to minimize parasitic induc-
tance.
The positive reference is connected at pins 2 and 3.
The options for connecting the positive reference are
as follows:
1. To protect data lines and the power line, connect
pins 2 & 3 directly to the positive supply rail (VCC).
In this configuration the data lines are referenced
to the supply voltage. The internal TVS diode
prevents over-voltage on the supply rail.
2. The SRDA can be isolated from the power supply by
adding a series resistor between pins 2 and 3 and
VCC. A value of 10kΩ is recommended. The
internal TVS and steering diodes remain biased,
providing the advantage of lower capacitance.
3. In applications where no positive supply reference
is available, or complete supply isolation is desired,
the internal TVS may be used as the reference. In
this case, pins 2 and 3 are not connected. The
steering diodes will begin to conduct when the
voltage on the protected line exceeds the working
voltage of the TVS (plus one diode drop).

ESD Protection With RailClamps
RailClamps are optimized for ESD protection using the
rail-to-rail topology. Along with good board layout,
these devices virtually eliminate the disadvantages of
using discrete components to implement this topology.
Consider the situation shown in Figure 1 where dis-
crete diodes or diode arrays are configured for rail-to-
rail protection on a high speed line. During positive
duration ESD events, the top diode will be forward
biased when the voltage on the protected line exceeds
the reference voltage plus the V
F
drop of the diode.
For negative events, the bottom diode will be biased

ESD current reaches a peak amplitude of 30A in 1ns
for a level 4 ESD contact discharge per IEC 61000-4-2.
Therefore, the voltage overshoot due to 1nH of series
inductance is:
V = L

/dt = 1X10-9 (30 / 1X10-9) = 30V
Example:
Consider a V
CC
= 5V, a typical V
F
of 30V (at 30A) for the
steering diode and a series trace inductance of 10nH.
The clamping voltage seen by the protected IC for a
positive 8kV (30A) ESD pulse will be:
V
C
= 5V + 30V + (10nH X 30V/nH) = 335V
This does not take into account that the ESD current is
directed into the supply rail, potentially damaging any
components that are attached to that rail. Also note
the high V
F
of the discrete diode. It is not uncommon
for the V
F
of discrete diodes to exceed the damage
threshold of the protected IC. This is due to the
relatively small junction area of typical discrete compo-
nents. It is also possible that the power dissipation
capability of the discrete diode will be exceeded, thus
destroying the device.
The RailClamp is designed to overcome the inherent
disadvantages of using discrete signal diodes for ESD
suppression. The RailClamp’s integrated TVS diode
helps to mitigate the effects of parasitic inductance in

the power supply connection. During an ESD event,
the current will be directed through the integrated TVS
diode to ground. The total clamping voltage seen by
the protected IC due to this path will be:

= V

TVS
This is given in the data sheet as the rated clamping
voltage of the device. For an SRDA05-4 the typical
clamping voltage is <16V at I
PP
=30A. The diodes
internal to the RailClamp are low capacitance, fast
switching devices that are rated to handle high tran-
sient currents and maintain excellent forward voltage
characteristics.
Using the RailClamp does not negate the need for good
board layout. All other inductive paths must be consid-
ered. The connection between the positive supply and
the SRDA and from the ground plane to the SRDA
must be kept as short as possible. The path between
the SRDA and the protected line must also be mini-
mized. The protected lines should be routed directly to
the SRDA. Placement of the SRDA on the PC board is
also critical for effective ESD protection. The device
should be placed as close as possible to the input
connector. The reason for this is twofold. First,
inductance resists change in current flow. If a signifi-
cant inductance exists between the connector and the
TVS, the ESD current will be directed elsewhere (lower
resistance path) in the system. Second, the effects of
radiated emissions and transient coupling can cause
upset to other areas of the board even if there is no
direct path to the connector. By placing the TVS close
to the connector it will divert the ESD current immedi-
ately and absorb the ESD energy before it can be
coupled into nearby traces.
