The FDA0560T 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 FDA0560T protects against ESD pulses up to ±17 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.
