Suppressors / ESD Protectors
CM1218
Features
• Low I/O capacitance at 7pF typical
• In-system ESD protection to ±15kV contact
discharge, per the IEC 61000-4-2 international standard
• Two, three, four or five channels of ESD protection
• Compact SMT package saves board space and facilitates layout in space-critical applications
• Each I/O pin can withstand over 1000 ESD strikes
• Lead-free versions available
Applications
• High-speed consumer electronic ports
• ESD protection of PC ports, including USB ports, serial ports, parallel ports, IEEE1394 ports,
docking ports, proprietary ports, etc.
• Protection of interface ports or IC pins which are exposed to high ESD levels
Product Description
The CM1218 family of devices features transient voltage suppressor arrays that provide a very high level of
protection for sensitive electronic components which may be subjected to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
All pins of the CM1218 are rated to withstand ±15kV ESD pulses using the IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge
method. Using the MIL-STD-883D (Method 3015) specification for Human Body Model (HBM) ESD, all pins are
protected from contact discharges of greater than ±30kV.
The CM1218 is supplied in a number of compact, surface mount packages depending on the channel
configuration desired. All versions of this device are available with optional lead-free finishing.
