1.1 General description

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

Multimedia Interface (HDMI), DisplayPort, SuperSpeed USB, external Serial Advanced

Technology Attachment (eSATA) and Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) interfaces

against ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD).

The devices include high-level ESD protection diodes for ultra high-speed signal lines and

are available in two package variants: XSON10 and TSSOP10.

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

capacitance of only 0.5 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

Pb-free, Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) compliant and free of halogen

and antimony (Dark Green compliant)

System ESD protection for USB 2.0 and USB SuperSpeed 3.0, HDMI 1.3 and

HDMI 1.4, 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 0.5 pF for each channel

4-channel, XSON10 or TSSOP10 Pb-free package

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
