Product Description

The CM1214A PicoGuard™ ESD protector is used to protect bipolar signal lines against electrostatic discharge (ESD). The CM1214A allows operation in high-speed environments with signals levels up to ±5V.

Features

• Single channel ESD protection for an AC signal up to ±5V for 0.25W transmit power

• Connects two channels in series for signals up to +10V (1W transmit power)

• ±8kV ESD protection per IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge

• Sub-1pF loading capacitance

• Minimal variation with voltage and temperature

• Each I/O pin can withstand over 1000 ESD strikes*

• SOT23-3 and MSOP-8 lead-free packages

Applications

• RF switch and amplifier protection

• RF modules and RF IC protection

• Wireless handsets and WLAN

• High-speed AC signals for Gbit Ethernet, etc.
