The FDA0368TS of diode arrays provides ESD protection for
electronic components or sub−systems requiring minimal capacitive
loading. These devices are ideal for protecting systems with high data
and clock rates or for circuits requiring low capacitive loading. Each
ESD channel consists of a pair of diodes in series which steer the
positive or negative ESD current pulse to either the positive (VP) or
negative (VN) supply rail. The FDA0368TS protects against ESD
pulses up to ±30 kV per the IEC 61000−4−2 standard. This device is
particularly well−suited for protecting systems using high−speed
ports such as USB2.0, IEEE1394,serial ATA, DVI, HDMI and
corresponding ports in removable storage, digital camcorders,
DVD−RW drives and other applications where extremely low loading
capacitance with ESD protection are required in a small package
footprint.
