AOZ8234
Four-line TVS Diode
General Description
Features
The AOZ8234 is a transient voltage suppressor diode
array designed to protect data lines from high transient
conditions and ESD. This state-of-the-art device utilizes
AOS leading edge Trench Vertical Structure [TVS]2 ™
technology for superior clamping performance.
 ESD protection for high-speed data lines:
This device incorporates four TVS diodes in a single
package. Due to the flexibility of the design, the package
can be configured as a two channel bidirectional TVS
array. During transient conditions, the TVS diodes direct
the transient to ground. They may be used to meet the
ESD immunity requirements of IEC 61000-4-2, Level 4
(±15 kV air, ±8 kV contact discharge).
The AOZ8234 comes in an RoHS compliant DFN
package and is rated over a -40 °C to +85 °C ambient
temperature range.
– Exceeds: IEC 61000-4-2 (ESD) ±18 kV (air),
±18 kV (contact)
– Human Body Model (HBM) ±30 kV

Applications Information
Device Connection for Protection of Four Data Lines
I/O1
These devices are designed to protect up to four
unidirectional data lines. The device is connected as
follows.
I/O2
1. Unidirectional protection of four I/O lines is achieved
by connecting pins 1, 3, 4, and 6 to the data lines.
Connect pin 2 to ground. The ground connection
should be made directly to the ground plane for best
results. The path length is kept as short as possible
to reduce the effects of parasitic inductance in the
board traces.

Circuit Board Layout Recommendations for
Suppression of ESD
Good circuit board layout is critical for the suppression of
ESD induced transients. The following guidelines are
recommended:
 Place the TVS near the input terminals or connectors
to restrict transient coupling.
 Minimize the path length between the TVS and the
protected line.
 Minimize all conductive loops including power and
ground loops.
 The ESD transient return path to ground should be
kept as short as possible.
 Never run critical signals near board edges.
 Use ground planes whenever possible.
