Product Description

The PACVGA200 incorporates 7 channels of ESD protection for all signal lines commonly found in a VGA port. ESD protection is implemented with current steering diodes designed to safely handle the high surge currents encountered with IEC-1000-4-2 Level-4 ESD Protection (8KV contact discharge). When a channel is subjected to an electrostatic discharge, the ESD current pulse is diverted via the protection diodes into the positive supply rail or ground where it may be safely dissipated.

Features

• 7 channels of ESD protection for all VGA port connector pins meeting IEC-61000-4-2 Level-4 ESD requirements (8KV contact discharge)

• Very low loading capacitance from ESD protection diodes on VIDEO lines, 4pF typical

• TTL to CMOS level-translating buffers with power down mode for HSYNC and VSYNC lines

• 75 Ω termination resistors for VIDEO lines (matched to 1 typ.)

• Bi-directional level shifting N-channel FETs provided for DDC_CLK & DDC_DATA channels

• Compact 24-pin QSOP package
