1. General description
Extremely low clamping low capacitance bidirectional ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD) protection
diode, which is part of the TrEOS protection family. The device is housed in a DSN0603-2
(SOD962-2) leadless ultra small Surface-Mounted Device (SMD) package designed to protect one
signal line from damage caused by ESD and other transients.
2. Features and benefits
• Bidirectional ESD protection of one line
• Extremely high surge robustness of 20 A 8/20 μs
• Low diode capacitance Cd = 0.78 pF
• Extremely low clamping voltage to protect sensitive I/Os: VCL = 3.4 V at 20 A 8/20 μs
• Extremely low inductance protection path to ground
• ESD protection up to ±20 kV according to IEC 61000-4-2
• Ultra small SMD package
3. Applications
• Cellular handsets and accessories
• Portable electronics
• Communication systems
• Computers and peripherals
