The SLVU2.8Q transient voltage suppressor is rated to
Grade 3 of AEC-Q100 for use in automotive applica-
tions. It is specifically designed to protect sensitive
components which are connected to data and trans-
mission lines from overvoltage events. It may be used
to protect one single ended line operating up to 2.8
Volts.
The SLVU2.8Q is constructed using Semtech’s propri-
etary EPD process technology. The EPD process
provides a true low operating voltage of 2.8 Volts for
maximum circuit protection. The SLVU2.8Q features
high ESD capability (+/-25kV contact, +/-30kV air per
IEC 61000-4-2), low clamping voltage, and is rated to
absorb up to 24A for an 8/20us duration pulse. Since
the SLVU2.8Q is constructed using solid-state silicon-
avalanche technology, it will not degrade as long as it is
operated within data sheet parameters.
The SLVU2.8Q is in a 3-lead SOT23 package. The
leads are finished with matte tin. This device is a Pb-
Free, Halogen Free, RoHS/WEEE compliant product.

Applications Information
Device Connection Options
Electronic equipment is susceptible to transient distur-
bances from a variety of sources including: ESD to an
open connector or interface, direct or nearby lightning
strikes to cables and wires, and charged cables “hot
plugged” into I/O ports. The SLVU2.8Q is designed to
protect sensitive components from damage and latch-
up which may result from such transient events. The
SLVU2.8Q can be configured to protect either one
unidirectional line or two (one line pair) high-speed data
lines. The options for connecting the devices are as
follows:
1. Protection of one unidirectional I/O line: Protec-
tion of one data line is achieved by connecting pin
3 to the protected line, and pins 1 and 2 to ground.
This connection option will allow the device to
operate on lines with positive polarity signal transi-
tions (during normal operation). In this configura-
tion, the device adds a maximum loading capaci-
tance of 100pF. During positive duration tran-
sients, the internal TVS diode will be reversed
biased and will act in the avalanche mode, con-
ducting the transient current from pin 3 to 1. The
transient will be clamped at or below the rated
clamping voltage of the device. For negative
duration transients, the internal steering diode is
forward biased, conducting the transient current
from pin 2 to 3. The transient is clamped below
the rated forward voltage drop of the diode.
2. Low capacitance protection of one differential
line pair: Protection of a high-speed differential line
pair is achieved by connecting two devices in anti-
parallel. Pin 1 of the first device is connected to
line 1 and pin 2 is connected to line 2. Pin 2 of the
second device is connected to line 1 and pin 1 is
connected to line 2 as shown. Pin 3 must be left
open on both devices. During negative duration
transients, the first device will conduct from pin 2
to 1. The steering diode conducts in the forward
direction while the TVS will avalanche and conduct
in the reverse direction. During positive transients,
the second device will conduct in the same man-
ner. In this configuration, the total loading capaci-
tance is the sum of the capacitance (between pins
1 and 2) of each device making this configuration
suitable for high-speed interfaces.

Analog Video Input Protection
The SLVU2.8Q can be used in conjunction with a PTC
thermistor to protect analog video inputs as shown
below. During an overcurrent condition, the PTC will
heat up and reduce the current to the load to a low
level, protecting downstream components. The reac-
tion time of the PTC depends on several factors that
are not very well controlled. This means that protected
components can potentially be exposed to damaging
overcurrent until there is enough power dissipation to
trigger the PTC. The SLVU2.8Q will protect the down
stream device until the PTC triggers. The figure at the
right shows the typical response of the protection
circuit to an overvoltage event. In addition to protect-
ing the circuit until the PTC triggers, the SLVU2.8Q
serves to protect components during ESD events. The
SLVU2.8Q is capable of withstanding a +/-25kV con-
tact discharge per IEC 61000-4-2.
