ProTek Devices’ New TVS Array Provides Circuit Protection in Computing Applications

TEMPE, Ariz. – August 26, 2013 – ProTek Devices today introduced a very low capacitance transient voltage suppressor (TVS) array designed to protect computing applications from the damaging effects of electrostatic discharge (ESD) and electrical fast transients (EFT). Such computing applications include Ethernet 10/100/1000 base T, FireWire, wireless communications devices and USB interfaces.

The TVS array is the PLR3311, which meets IEC 61000-4-2 (ESD), IEC 61000-4-4 (EFT) and IEC 61000-4-5 (surge) standards requirements. At higher operating frequencies or faster edge rates, insertion loss and signal integrity are a major circuit protection concern. The PLR3311 is designed to remove these … Read More → "ProTek Devices’ New TVS Array Provides Circuit Protection in Computing Applications"
