Reliable ESD protection of multiple lines
Description
Due to the ongoing miniaturization, today’s electronic devices are more and more sensitive to
electrostatic discharges (ESD). Therefore reliable protection components become absolutely
necessary to safeguard your valuable electronics against the impact of ESD.
CeraDiodes are ceramic semiconductors optimized specifically for high performance in ESD
applications. They have a non-linear voltage/current characteristic for effectively suppressing
extremely fast voltage transients and offer superior parametric stability over the complete operating
range of –40 °C to +85 °C.
CeraDiodes are bi-directional devices. A single CeraDiode connected from signal/data line to ground
routes both positive and negative ESD transitions safely to the ground plane. This technique
eliminates the need to route ESD charge into the power plane, possibly damaging nearby integrated
circuits.
