DESCRIPTION
The SM712 transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode is designed for asymmetrical (12V to -7V)
protection in multi-point data transmission standard RS-485 applications. The SM712 may be used to
protect devices from transient voltages resulting from electrostatic discharge (ESD), electrical fast
transients (FET), and lightning.
The SM712 features 400 Watts (tp=8/20μs) of power handling capability to accommodate the higher
transient voltage levels which may be expected in extended common mode applications. This provides
higher equipment reliability and eliminates the “ guess work” required when using zener diodes that are
not rated to handle such transient conditions.
Low leakage current
Low clamping voltage
Meets MSL 1 Requirements
Marking: 712 or C72
Networks
The integrated design aids in reducing voltage over-shoot associated with trace inductance. The low
clamping voltage of the SM712 minimizes the stress on the protected transceiver. The SOT-23 package
allows flexibility in the design of “crowed” circuit boards.
