Figure 27. INA210-INA215 Transient Protection using Dual Zener Diodes
In the event that low-power zeners do not have sufficient transient absorption capability and a higher power
transzorb must be used, the most package-efficient solution then involves using a single transzorb and back-to-
back diodes between the device inputs. The most space-efficient solutions are dual series-connected diodes in a
single SOT-523 or SOD-523 package. This method is shown in Figure 28. In either of these examples, the total
board area required by the INA210-INA215 with all protective components is less than that of an SO-8 package,
and only slightly greater than that of an MSOP-8 package.
