Low Voltage μClampTM for ESD and CDE Protection PROTECTION PROTECTION PRODUCTS - MicroClampTM Description The μClamp series of Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) are designed to replace multilayer varistors (MLVs) in portable applications such as cell phones, notebook computers, and PDAs. They offer superior electrical characteristics such as lower clamping voltage and no device degradation when compared to MLVs. They are designed to protect sensitive semiconductor components from damage or upset due to electrostatic discharge (ESD), lightning, electrical fast transients (EFT), and cable discharge events (CDE). The μClampTM3301H is constructed using Semtech’s proprietary EPD process technology. The EPD process provides low standoff voltages with significant reductions in leakage currents and capacitance over siliconavalanche diode processes. They feature a true operating voltage of 3.3 volts for superior protection when compared to traditional pn junction devices. The μClamp3301H is in a SOD-523 package and will protect one unidirectional line. They give the designer the flexibility to protect one line in applications where arrays are not practical. They may be used to meet the ESD immunity requirements of IEC 61000-4-2, Level 4 (±15kV air, ±8kV contact discharge).

It will present a high impedance to the protected line up to 3.3 volts. It will “turn on” when the line voltage exceeds 3.5 volts. The device is unidirectional and may be used on lines where the signal polarity is above ground. The cathode band should be placed towards the line that is to be protected. Due to the “snap-back” characteristics of the low voltage TVS, it is not recommended that the I/O line be directly connected to a DC source greater than snapback votlage (VSB) as the device can latch on as described below. EPD TVS Characteristics The μClamp3301H is constructed using Semtech’s proprietary EPD technology. The structure of the EPD TVS is vastly different from the traditional pn-junction devices. At voltages below 5V, high leakage current and junction capacitance render conventional avalanche technology impractical for most applications. However, by utilizing the EPD technology, the μClamp3301H can effectively operate at 3.3V while maintaining excellent electrical characteristics. EPD TVS IV Characteristic Curve IPP Device Schematic & Pin Configuration ISB IPT VF IR VRWM V VPT VC SB The EPD TVS employs a complex nppn structure in I contrast to the pn structure normally found in traditional silicon-avalanche TVS diodes. Since the EPD TVS devices use a 4-layer structure, they exhibit a slightly different IV characteristic curve when compared to conventional devices. During normal operation, the device represents a high-impedance to the circuit up to the device working voltage (VRWM). During an ESD event, the device will begin to conduct and will enter a low impedance state when the punch through voltage (VPT) is exceeded. Unlike a conventional device, the low voltage TVS will exhibit a slight negative resistance characteristic as it conducts current. This characteristic aids in lowering the clamping voltage of the device, current (ISB). To return to a non-conducting state, the but must be considered in applications where DC current through the device must fall below the ISB voltages are present. (approximately
