), a leading developer of advanced power semiconductor solutions, announced today that it has entered the Transient Voltage Suppressor A transient voltage suppressor or TVS is a general classification of an array of devices that are designed to react to sudden or momentary overvoltage conditions. One such common device used for this purpose is known as the transient voltage suppression diode that is simply  market with a new family of ultra-low capacitance Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) products that provide robust ESD (1) (Electronic Software Distribution) Distributing new software and upgrades via the network rather than individual installations on each machine. See ESL.  protection for high speed data interfaces in computing, networking, and digital consumer applications. The TVS product family was designed using advances in the company's proprietary device and process technology enabling greater device performance and advance feature capability.

"We continue to leverage our leading edge device technology, design and advance packaging expertise to drive new product development and leadership product innovation," said Wayne F. Eng, Director, Product Marketing. "This new ultra-low capacitance TVS product family offers robust ESD protection and superior signal integrity for high speed data interfaces in computing, networking, and digital consumer applications, continuing our product line expansion with leadership products."

TVS Product Family:

The AOZ AOZ Advance of Zeta (gaming)
AOZ Accept on Zero
AOZ Aircraft Operating Zone
8xxx TVS product family features five products that all exceed the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iec.ch) An organization that sets international electrical and electronics standards founded in 1906. It is made up of national committees from over 60 countries.

IEC - International Electrotechnical Commission
61000-4-2 Level 4 specification for electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection (O8kV for contact and O15kV for air discharge). The AOZ8xxx TVS product family with its ultra-low capacitance rating and low insertion loss are designed to protect high speed data lines such as High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) A digital interface for audio and video signals designed as a single-cable solution for home theater and consumer electronics equipment. ) 1.3, USB USB
 in full Universal Serial Bus

Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer.
2.0, IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 1394 Firewire and Gigabit Ethernet ports from damaging ESD events without degrading signal integrity.

The AOZ8005 and AOZ8007 offer four lines of protection from ESD strikes with the AOZ8007 providing O15kV for contact and O18kV for air discharge far exceeding the IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 specification providing our customers with robust ESD protection in mobile computing and consumer applications. In addition, the device's excellent low channel clamping voltage of 11V maximum at 5A peak pulse current provides superior protection to sensitive IC components under protection. The AOZ8007 provides a typical line to line capacitance of 0.47pF and low insertion loss providing greater signal integrity making it ideally suited for HDMI 1.3 applications, such as Digital TVs, DVD players, set-top boxes and mobile computing devices.

The AOZ8000 and AOZ8001 protect 4 lines and 2 lines, respectively and provide a typical line to line capacitance of 0.9pF making them ideally suited for high speed data interfaces such as USB2.0, Gigabit Ethernet, DVI and IEEE1394 Firewire. The AOZ8001 comes in a small footprint 1.7 x 1.7 x 0.6 mm SC-89 package which is ideal for portable computing and handheld applications where board space is a premium.

The AOZ8900 is designed to protect 4 lines providing ESD protection of O12kV for contact and O15kV for air discharge making it optimally featured to protect USB, Ethernet, and SIM Card ports in mobile and computing platforms.

The AOZ8900, AOZ8000, AOZ8001, AOZ8005, AOZ8007 are all available now.
