Product Description
ESD1213A−04S7 has been designed to provide ESD protection for electronic components or subsystems requiring minimal capacitive loading. This device is ideal for protecting systems with high data and clock rates or for circuits requiring low capacitive loading. Each ESD channel consists of a pair of diodes in series which steer the positive or negative ESD current pulse to either the positive (VP) or negative (VN) supply rail. A Zener diode is embedded between VP and VN, offering two advantages. First, it protects the VCC rail against ESD strikes, and second, it eliminates the need for a bypass capacitor that would otherwise be needed for absorbing positive ESD strikes to ground. This device will protect against ESD pulses up to 8 kV per the IEC 61000−4−2 standard.
