Data Sheet

CERA DIODE CDS3C16GTH
RELIABLE ESD PROTECTION OF HIGH SPEED DATA LINES

Description

Today’s electronic devices are more and more sensitive to electrostatic discharges (ESD) and
overvoltages. Therefore reliable protection components become absolutely necessary.

Cera Diodes are ceramic semiconductors with a nonlinear voltage-current characteristic comparable
to Zener- and TVS-Diodes, for hardening your valuable electronic against the impact of ESD. They
offer a fast response time and a stable behaviour at ambient temperatures up to 85°C. Thanks to their
low capacitance High Speed Cera Diodes offer very low signal distortion for high speed data
transmission applications.

Features

n ESD protection according to IEC 61000-4-2 (level 4)
n Suitable for uni- and bidirectional lines
n Bidirectional characteristic
n Working voltage: 16 V
n Low Capacitance (3pF)
n No derating up to max. operating temperature
n Leadless chip with small dimensions

Applications

n Desktop and Notebook computers
n Portable handheld products (PDA)
n Mobile communication
n Consumer products (Set Top Box, MP3 Player...)
n Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD) / Monitors

Example: Protection of I/O Lines
