Description Due to the ongoing miniaturization, today’s electronic devices are more and more sensitive to electrostatic discharges (ESD). Therefore reliable protection ponents bee absolutely necessary to safeguard your valuable electronics against the impact of ESD. .. Cera Diodes are ceramic semiconductors optimized specifically for high performance in ESD applications. They have a non-linear voltage/current characteristic for effectively suppressing extremely fast voltage transients and offer superior parametric stability over the plete operating range of - 40 °C to +85 °C. Cera Diodes are bi-directional devices. A single Cera Diode connected from signal/data line to ground routes both positive and negative ESD transitions safely to the ground plane. This technique eliminates the need to route ESD charge into the power plane, possibly damaging nearby integrated circuits. Cera Diodes for high-speed lines exhibits a very low capacitance designed for maximum ESD protection bined with minimal signal distortion. Features - - - - - - - - - Bi-directional ESD protection to IEC 61000-4-2 (level 4) Suitable for uni- and bi-directional lines Bi-directional ESD protection in a two-pin line Routes all ESD events, both positive and negative, safely to ground Suitable for DC working voltages up to 30 V Very low capacitance down to 2 p F USB 2.0 pliant No derating of maximum ratings up to 85 °C Surface mount package in case sizes 0402 (semiconductor package SOD-723) 0603 (semiconductor package SOD-523) 1003 (semiconductor package SOD-323) Extremely fast response time...
