Product Description
The CM1293 family of diode arrays has been designed
to provide ESD protection for electronic components or
sub-systems requiring minimal capacitive loading.
These devices are 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 (V
negative (V
between V
protects the V
) supply rail. A Zener diode is embedded
N
and VN, offering two advantages. First, it
P
rail against ESD strikes, and second,
CC
it eliminates the need for a bypass capacitor that would
otherwise be needed for absorbing positive ESD
strikes to ground. The CM1293 will protect against
ESD pulses up to (±15kV air, ±8kV contact discharge)
per the IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 standard.
This device is particularly well-suited for protecting systems using high-speed ports such as USB2.0,
IEEE1394 (Firewire
®, iLink™), Serial ATA, DVI, HDMI
and corresponding ports in removable storage, digital
camcorders, DVD-RW drives and other applications
where extremely low loading capacitance with ESD
protection are required in a small package footprint.
