TEXAS INSTRUMENTS TPD2E007 ESD Protection Device, 3-Pin, 218mW, SC-70

The TEXAS INSTRUMENTS TPD2E007DCKR is a specialised 2-channel TVS diode array designed for robust ESD protection in sensitive AC-coupled or negative-rail data interfaces. Its innovative back-to-back diode configuration allows it to safeguard AC-coupled or negative-going data transmission lines—such as those found in audio interfaces, LVDS, RS-485, and RS-232—without compromising critical signal integrity. By exceeding the rigorous IEC 61000-4-2 (Level 4) standards, this device provides superior system-level protection for internal integrated circuits when positioned close to connectors, shielding your electronics from harmful electrostatic discharge events.

Engineered for modern, compact applications, this protection device utilises a space-saving PicoStar™ package, making it an ideal solution where board real-estate and component height are primary concerns. It offers a comprehensive protection suite, including high surge immunity and minimal performance impact on the protected lines.
