Ultra-Low Clamping Voltage TVS Solution for USB 3.1: AZ176S-04F

To meet the protection requirements of Type C, the electrostatic discharge protection component AZ176S-04F is developed. AZ176S-04F has a very low clamping voltage, which can effectively prevent the transmission of data errors, crashes or damage during system electrostatic discharge testing. In the IEC61000-4-2 contact mode 8kV ESD shock (equivalent TLP current is about 16A), the clamping voltage is only 4.3V. In addition, the AZ176S-04F utilizes a feed through to protect the line, which has the advantages of reducing the area of the PCB and reducing the complexity of the layout.
