SM712
DESCRIPTION
The SM712 transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode is designed for asymmetrical (12V to -7V) protection in multi-point data transmission standard RS-485 applications. The SM712 may be used to protect devices from transient voltages resulting from electrostatic discharge (ESD), electrical fast transients (FET), and lightning. The SM712 features
400 Watts (tp=8/20μs) of power handling capability to acmodate the higher transient voltage levels which may be expected in extended mon mode applications. This provides higher equipment reliability and eliminates the “ guess work” required when using zener diodes that are not rated to handle such transient conditions. The integrated design aids in reducing voltage over-shoot associated with trace inductance. The low clamping voltage of the SM712 minimizes the stress on the protected transceiver. The SOT-23 package allows flexibility in the design of “crowed” circuit boards.
