Applications
TheSP724isaquadarrayoftransientvoltageclamping
circuitsdesignedtosuppressESDandothertransientover-
voltageevents.TheSP724isusedtohelpprotectsensitive
digitaloranaloginputcircuitsondata,signal,orcontrol

TheSP724iscomprisedofbipolarSCR/diodestructures
toprotectuptofourindependentlinesbyclamping

NOTES:
1. The design of the SP724 SCR/Diode ESD Protection Arrays are
covered by Littelfuse patent 4567500.
2. The full ESD capability of the SP724 is achieved when wired in a
circuit that includes connection to both the V+ and V- pins. When
handling individual devices, follow proper procedures for
electrostatic discharge.
