Product Description
The CM1216 family of diode arrays provide sESD
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 (VP) or
negative (VN) supply rail. The CM1216 protects
against ESD pulses up to +15kV per the IEC 61000-
4-2 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.
