The LVS series is metal oxide based chip varistor for transient voltage suppression. They have non-linear voltage-current behavior, similar to zener diode. Multilayer structured varistor, however, shows superiority in electrical reliability than zener diode, since each grain exhibits small p-n junction. In addition, LVS series shows better electrical properties such as high clamping voltage and low leakage current.
Features
- Chip varistor provides high reliability on surface mounting
- Wide range of working voltage (Vw = 5.6V ~30V)
- Electroplating of Ni and solder gives higher solderability
- Wide operating temperature (-55 ~125C)
- Various capacitance is available
Applications
- Protection from transient voltage noise in all kinds of IC
- Protection from ESD, EFT and surge in power I/O port
- Replacement of zener diode
