8.5.1 Protection Specifications

The TVS0500 is specified according to both the IEC 61000-4-5 and IEC 61643-321 standards. This enables usage in systems regardless of which standard is required in relevant product standards or best matches measured fault conditions. The IEC 61000-4-5 standards requires protection against a pulse with a rise time of 8 µs and a half length of 20 µs, while the IEC 61643-321 standard requires protection against a much longer pulse with a rise time of 10 µs and a half length of 1000 µs.

The positive and negative surges are imposed to the TVS0500 by a combinational waveform generator (CWG) with a 2-Ω coupling resistor at different peak voltage levels. For powered on transient tests that need power supply bias, inductances are usually used to decouple the transient stress and protect the power supply. The TVS0500 is post tested by assuring that there is no shift in device breakdown or leakage at Vrwm.

In addition, the TVS0500 has been tested according to IEC 61000-4-5 to pass a ±2 kV surge test through a 42-Ω coupling resistor and a 0.5 µF capacitor. This test is a common test requirement for industrial signal I/O lines and the TVS0500 will serve an ideal protection solution for applications with that requirement.

The TVS0500 allow integrates IEC 61000-4-2 level 4 ESD Protection and 80 A of IEC 61000-4-4 EFT Protection. These combine to ensure that the device can protect against most transient conditions regardless of length or type.
