Flat Clamp TVS Evaluation Module—Adaptor Boards
This user's guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the TVSxx0x Precision Surge
Protection Diode Adaptor Board Evaluation Module (EVM). The TVSxx0x family of devices are precision
clamps that keep ultra-low and flat clamping voltages during transient overvoltage events like surge for
both bidirectional and unidirectional signals. These adaptor boards place the small DRV package size of
the TVSxx00 device and the small DRB package size of the TVSxx01 device into a larger footprint that is
designed to fit into industry standard SMA and SMB package types and allow users to test performance in
their own systems. This user's guide includes setup instructions, schematic diagrams, a bill of materials,
and printed-circuit board layout drawings for the EVM.
