Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TVS3300, , TPD1E10B06-Q1
Question 1:
TVS0500 up to TVS3300 series has a fine and very flat i vs. u curve characteristic for high surge currents compared to standard TVS diodes. But surge currents are "medium speed" 8/20µs and 10/1000µs pulses. But what about high speed ESD impulses in a nanosecond range? Are the TVS0500-TVS3300 series fast enough to protect also against ns ESD pulses? Datasheet do not specifiy such a ESD protection.
What about when paralleling the TVS0500-TVS3300 series with a fast small ESD TVS diode (0402-package), for example the TVS0500 parallel with a 5.5V 0402 fast ESD diode TPD1E10B06-Q1? My idea behind, the TPD1E10B06-Q1T overtakes the fast ESD impuls and the TVS0500 overtakes a longer time surge impulse protection.
Question 2:
TVS0500 up to TVS3300 series can be connected in series to result in a part with a higher clamping voltage specification, for e.g. series connection of TVS0500+TVS3300 results in a "TVS3800"?
Question 3:
TVS0500 up to TVS3300 series can be connected in parallel to result in a part with a higher clamping voltage specification, for e.g. parallel connection of TVS3300+TVS3300 results in an "extra strong TVS3300"?
