AVX Multilayer Ceramic Transient Voltage Suppressors
Quality ESD Protection for Circuits Sensitive to
Capacitance
April 2010:
The AVX TransGuard® Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS),
with unique high-energy multilayer construction,
represents state-of-the-art overvoltage circuit
protection. Monolithic multilayer construction provides
protection from voltage transients caused by ESD,
lightning, NEMP, inductive switching, etc. True surface
mount products are provided in EIA industry standard
packages. Thru-hole components are supplied as
conformally coated axial devices.

AVX Corporation has also
expanded its
AntennaGuard SPV Series of low capacitance
multilayer varistors (MLVs) to include a sub 0.5pF
version to minimize signal distortion. Designed to
provide a one-chip solution for protecting high speed
digital interface, HDMI, analog sensor, Flex Ray, GPS
antenna and RF amplifier circuit applications against
ESD events, the bi-directional transient voltage
suppressor delivers low capacitance and low insertion
loss in a low-profile chip. The 0402 AntennaGuard SPV
Series MLV provides a sub 1nS response time to ESD
strikes and can withstand 100 successive strikes at 8kV
(IEC 61000-4-2).
"The
AntennaGuard SPV Series' unique design results in a
greater active volume that allows the part to handle
higher transient energy, making it the only sub 0.5pF
0402 MLV on the market that can withstand 100 strikes at
8kV ESD. In addition, the AntennaGuard SPV Series offers
customers the fastest ESD response of any multilayer
varistor," said Sonja Brown, global product manager for
circuit protection products. "The MLV also minimizes the
parasitic capacitance and signal distortion, maximizing
the signal strength and speed. The AntennaGuard SPV
Series' low leakage characteristics enable it to be used
in low distortion analog circuits such as sensors and
dividers."
