Packaged in miniature SOT23, SOT143 and SC70 (SMD) these ESD TVS diodes are ideally suited for space sensitive applications requiring contact discharge protection as high as 30kV when tested to IEC61000-4-2 International Standards. OnChip Devices, a manufacturer of Integrated Passive Devices, has introduced a family of miniature TVS diodes with very high protection levels from electrostatic discharge (ESD). The ESD2200 device safely dissipates ESD strikes of ±30kV contact discharge, well beyond the maximum requirements of the IEC 61000-4-2 international standard. It is offered in 2, 3, 4, and 5 channels and has superior electrical performance. In spite of the exceptionally high ESD level, this device exhibits a relatively low input capacitance of under 20 pF. This diode capacitance also provides some EMI filtering, when used in combination with a PCB trace or series resistor. Learn more at the OnChipweb site.
