The AQ1005 TVS includes back-to-back breakdown diodes fabricated in a proprietary silicon avalanche technology to provide protection for electronic equipment that may experience destructive electrostatic discharges (ESD). These robust diodes can safely absorb repetitive ESD strikes above the maximum level specified in IEC 61000-4-2 international standard (Level 4, ±8 kV contact discharge and ±15 kV air discharge) without performance degradation. The back-to-back configuration provides symmetrical ESD protection for data lines.
