1. General description
Extremely low clamping, 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
• ESD protection up to ±14 kV contact discharge according to IEC 61000-4-2
• Backwards compatible to USB 3.2 due to VRWM = 4 V
• Extremely low diode capacitance: Cd = 0.16 pF at 1 MHz
• Extremely low clamping and trigger voltage (Vt1 = 6.9 V TLP) to protect sensitive transceivers
• Extremely low insertion loss: -0.29 dB at 10 GHz
• Extremely low return loss: -20.6 dB at 10 GHz
• RF performance does not degrade over the operation voltage range
• Extremely low leakage current: < 1 nA at 4 V
• Extremely low inductance protection path to ground
• IEC 61000-4-5 (surge): IPP = 6.9 A peak pulse (average measured)
• IEC 61000-4-4 robust up to level 3 on I/O ports (corresponds to 40 A into a 50 Ohm
termination)
• Ultra-small SMD package
3. Applications
• Cellular handsets and accessories
• Portable electronics
• Communication systems
• Computers and peripherals
• HDMI 2.1 and 2.0, USB4, USB 3.2 and Thunderbolt 3 and 4 data lines
