DESCRIPTION

The Ei16LC series of monolithic transient voltage suppressors are designed for applications where voltage transients, caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD) and other induced voltage surges, can permanently damage voltage sensitive components. These TVS diodes are characterized by their high surge capability, extremely fast response time and low on-resistance. The Ei16LC series consists of bi-directional diode arrays with low input capacitances and is specifically designed to protect multiple or single data lines with each channel being electrically independent for multiple I/O port protection. These monolithic diode array networks can be used to protect combinations of 8 unidirectional or bi-directional lines. They provide ESD and surge protection for sensitive power and I/O ports.
