Bidirectional ESD suppression diodes for high-speed circuit protection
The GiGuard Series ESD diodes offer nominal capacitance values spanning 17 pF down to 0.3 pF, and reverse leakage current values below 0.1 μA. Applications include: network communications, gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0, USB 3.0, HDMI, and tablet and smartphone touchscreens. Unlike typical TVS diodes, which have hidden terminal pads, the solder joints on the new GiGuard Series diodes are fully visible to inspection systems, with a leadless design that fits on standard 0201 and 0402 SMP solder pad layouts.
Rated for 5V and operating temperatures spanning -55°C to 125°C, GiGuard Series leadless, ESD suppression diodes are currently available in two low-profile case sizes: 0201 with a maximum thickness of 0.3±0.03 mm and 0402 with a maximum thickness of 0.5±0.05 mm, as well as five nominal capacitance values spanning 0.3 pF to 17 pF. Allowable capacitance values for the series span 0.05 pF to 22.1 pF, peak pulse power characteristics span 46–96W, and peak pulse current characteristics span 3–8A.
GiGuard Series diodes also feature ±15KV to ±30KV air and direct contact ESD ratings in 150 pF, 330Ω networks to satisfy IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 minimum ESD requirements, and exhibit 20A, 5/50 nsec electrical fast transient (EFT) characteristics to meet IEC 61000-4-4 EFT, very fast charged device model (CDM) ESD, and cable discharge event (CDE) requirements.
