1.1 General description

The devices are designed to protect high-speed interfaces such as High-Definition

Multimedia Interface (HDMI), DisplayPort, external Serial Advanced Technology

Attachment (eSATA) and Low-Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) interfaces against

ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD).

The devices include four high-level ESD protection diode structures for ultra high-speed

signal lines. They are available in three package variants: DFN2510-10 (SOT1165-1),

DFN2510A-10 (SOT1176-1) and TSSOP10 (SOT552-1).

All signal lines are protected by a special diode configuration offering ultra low line

capacitance of only 0.6 pF. These diodes provide protection to downstream components

from ESD voltages up to 8 kV contact according to IEC 61000-4-2, level 4.

1.2 Features and benefits

 System ESD protection for HDMI, DisplayPort, eSATA and LVDS

 All signal lines with integrated rail-to-rail clamping diodes for downstream

ESD protection of 8 kV according to IEC 61000-4-2, level 4

 Matched 0.5 mm trace spacing

 Signal lines with  0.05 pF matching capacitance between signal pairs

 Line capacitance of only 0.6 pF for each channel

 Design-friendly ‘pass-thru’ signal routing

1.3 Applications

The devices are designed for high-speed receiver and transmitter port protection:

 TVs, monitors

 DVD recorders and players

 Notebooks, main board graphics cards and ports

 Set-top boxes and game consoles
