1. General description

Extremely low capacitance bidirectional ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD) protection diode, part of the

TrEOS protection family. This device is housed in a DSN0603-2 (SOD962-2) leadless ultra small

Surface-Mounted Device (SMD) package, designed to protect one signal line from the damage

caused by ESD and other transients.

2. Features and benefits

• Bidirectional ESD protection of one line

• VRWM = 1 V device

• IEC 61000-4-5 (surge): IPP = 9.6 A peak pulse (average measured)

• Extremely low diode capacitance Cd = 0.24 pF typical

• Extremely low clamping voltage to protect sensitive I/Os

• Very low peak clamping for sensitive IC with low-inductance traces between protection and

protected IC

• Extremely low-inductance protection path to ground

• ESD protection up to ±22 kV average measured according to IEC 61000-4-2

• Very low trigger voltage Vt1 = 3.8 V to protect against low-voltage surge pulses

• Ultra small SMD package

3. Applications

• Cellular handsets and accessories

• Portable electronics

• Communication systems

• Computers and peripherals

• Low voltage super speed data lines, to be placed between AC coupling C and protected IC
