Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) for short is a high-efficiency protection device in the form of a diode. When the two poles of the TVS diode are impacted by reverse transient high energy, it can change the high impedance between its two poles to low impedance at a speed of 10 minus 12 seconds, absorbing up to several thousand watts of surge power, so that the voltage between the two poles is clamped at a predetermined value, effectively protecting the precision components in the electronic circuit from being damaged by various surge pulses.
TVS diodes are widely used in automotive electronics, consumer Electronics, industrial equipment, household appliances, communication equipment and other fields.
TPD6E004 Description
The TPD6E004 is a low-capacitance ±15-kV ESD-protection diode array made by Texas Instruments, designed to protect sensitive electronics attached to communication lines. Each channel consists of a pair of diodes that steers ESD current pulses to VCC or GND. The TPD6E004 protects against ESD pulses up to ±15-kV Human-Body Model (HBM), ±8-kV Contact Discharge, and ±12-kV Air-Gap Discharge, as specified in IEC 61000-4-2.
The TPD6E004 is a six-channel ESD structure designed for wthernet and FireWire applications.
The TPD6E004 is available in the RSE package and is specified for –40°C to 85°C operation.

TPD6E004 Application
USB、Ethernet、Firewire、Video、Cell Phones、SVGA Video Connections、Glucose Meters
TPD6E004 Application Information
The TPD6E004 device is a TVS diode array typically used to provide a path to ground for dissipating ESD events on high-speed signal lines between a human interface connector and a system. As the current from ESD passes through the TVS, only a small voltage drop is present across the diode. This is the voltage presented to the protected integrated circuit (IC). The triggered TVS holds this voltage, VCLAMP, to a safe level for the protected IC.

TPD6E004 Device Functional Modes
The TPD6E004 device is a passive integrated circuit that triggers when voltages are above VBR or below the diodes VF of approximately –0.8 V. During ESD events, voltages as high as ±8-kV contact and ±12-kV air-gap ESD can be directed to ground through the internal diodes. When the voltages on the protected line fall below
the trigger levels of TPD6E004 (usually within 10s of nano-seconds) the device reverts back to its highimpedance state.
