SP721APP

Littelfuse · Electrostatic And Surge Protection (TVS/ESD) · PDIP-8

SP721APP from Littelfuse, in a PDIP-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 IN input Signal input protected by SCR/diode structures that clamp to V+ when the input exceeds one VBE above V+ and to V- when it falls one VBE below V-.
2 IN input Signal input protected by SCR/diode structures that clamp to V+ when the input exceeds one VBE above V+ and to V- when it falls one VBE below V-.
3 IN input Signal input protected by SCR/diode structures that clamp to V+ when the input exceeds one VBE above V+ and to V- when it falls one VBE below V-.
4 V- power_in Negative supply pin that sets the lower SCR trigger threshold, one VBE diode drop below V-; operating supply range (V+)-(V-) is 2 to 30 V.
5 IN input Signal input protected by SCR/diode structures that clamp to V+ when the input exceeds one VBE above V+ and to V- when it falls one VBE below V-.
6 IN input Signal input protected by SCR/diode structures that clamp to V+ when the input exceeds one VBE above V+ and to V- when it falls one VBE below V-.
7 IN input Signal input protected by SCR/diode structures that clamp to V+ when the input exceeds one VBE above V+ and to V- when it falls one VBE below V-.
8 V+ power_in Positive supply pin that sets the upper SCR trigger threshold, one VBE diode drop above V+; absolute maximum continuous supply (V+)-(V-) is +35 V.

CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: SP721APP
  • Footprint: Package_DIP:DIP-8_W7.62mm
  • 3D model: PDIP-8 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
  • 3D model files: sp721app-etched.step / sp721app-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); sp721app.step / sp721app.glb are the bare package body.
