LITTELFUSE SP1001

Silicon Protection Arrays
Application Guide
Audio (Speaker/Microphone)
Considerations:
● Audio ports typically have signals that swing above and below GND (i.e. ±2.5V)
→ If no bias is applied, a bidirectional protection device should be used
→ These devices will not clip the analog signal as they only conduct or turn on above ±6V
→ Protection of 2 data lines is shown below (i.e. Left and Right)
● Some audio ports will bias the data bus so that the signal never swings below GND (i.e. 0-5V)
→ If a bias is applied, a unidirectional OR bidirectional protection device could be used as neither device would
clip the analog signal
→ The SP1001-02XTG is a good option in this case (not shown for Left and Right but is listed below)
