About this manual

The TVSMEDA series offers monolithic flip‑chip thyristor surge protection device arrays designed for implantable applications. All contacts are on a single side, and the devices are available with a solderable surface and common anode/cathode configurations.

Key performance advantages include a 50% real‑estate reduction versus competing products, on‑state dissipation 1.5‑2× lower, switching times up to ten times faster, and the ability to handle three times the surge for the same area. The arrays are offered in 2‑, 3‑, 4‑, 5‑, 6‑, and 8‑element configurations and in 5‑8.5 V versions, with a power rating of 50 J at 37 °C.
