The VI curves below show the voltage/current characteristics for the 5.6V, 9V, 14V, 18V and low capacitance StaticGuard parts with currents ranging from parts of a micro amp to tens of amps. Traditionally varistors have suffered degradation of electrical performance with repeated high current pulses resulting in decreased breakdown voltage and increased leakage current. It has been suggested that irregular intergranular boundaries and bulk material result in restricted current paths and other non-Schottky barrier paralleled conduction paths in the ceramic. Repeated pulsing of TransGuard transient voltage suppressors with 150Amp peak 8 x 20S waveforms shows negligible degradation in breakdown voltage and minimal increases in leakage current. This does not mean that TransGuard suppressors do not suffer degradation, but it occurs at much higher current. 100 VC04LC18V500 VC040218X400 VC040214X300 VC040209X200 VC040205X150 Voltage (V) 80 ESD TEST OF 0402 PARTS 60 35 40 VC04LC18V500 30 0 10-9 10-7 10-5 10-3 10-1 10 103 BREAKDOWN VOLTAGE (Vb) 20 105 Current (A) PEAK POWER VS PULSE DURATION 25 20 VC040214X300 15 VC040209X200 10 1300 VC040218X400 VC040205X150 1200 5 1100 10 100 1000 10000 8kV ESD STRIKES VC040218X400 VC040214X300 VC040209X200 VC04LC18V500 VC040205X150 1000 800 INSERTION LOSS CHARACTERISTICS 0 700 -5 600 500 -10 dB PEAK POWER (W) 900 400 300 200 VC04LC18V VC040218X -15 VC040214X VC040209X VC040205X -20 100 0 10 100 IMPULSE DURATION (S) 4 1000 -25 0.01 0.1 1 Frequency (GHz) 10 TransGuard(R) AVX Multilayer Ceramic Transient Voltage Suppressors VOLTAGES = 3.3, 5.6, 9, 14, 18, 26 OR 30 VDC 0603 SURFACE MOUNT Dimensions: Actual Size: Length Width Thickness Termination Band Width Termination Separation Termination Finish AVX Part Number 1.6 0.15mm (0.063" 0.006") 0.80 0.15mm (0.032" 0.006") 0.9mm Max.

It has been suggested that irregular intergranular boundaries and bulk material result in restricted current paths and other non-Schottky barrier paralleled conduction paths in the ceramic. Repeated pulsing of both 5.6 and 14V TransGuard transient voltage suppressors with 150Amp peak 8 x 20S waveforms shows negligible degradation in breakdown voltage and minimal increases in leakage current. This does not mean that TransGuard suppressors do not suffer degradation, but it occurs at much higher current. The plots of typical breakdown voltage vs number of 150A pulses are shown below.
