1.1 General description

The devices are designed to protect high-speed interfaces such as High-Definition

Multimedia Interface (HDMI), DisplayPort, external Serial Advanced Technology

Attachment (eSATA) and Low-Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) interfaces against

ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD).

The devices include four high-level ESD protection diode structures for ultra high-speed

signal lines. They are available in three package variants: DFN2510-10 (SOT1165-1),

DFN2510A-10 (SOT1176-1) and TSSOP10 (SOT552-1).

All signal lines are protected by a special diode configuration offering ultra low line

capacitance of only 0.6 pF. These diodes provide protection to downstream components

from ESD voltages up to ?8 kV contact according to IEC 61000-4-2, level 4.

1.2 Features and benefits

? All signal lines with integrated rail-to-rail clamping diodes for downstream

ESD protection of ?8 kV according to IEC 61000-4-2, level 4

? Matched 0.5 mm trace spacing

? Signal lines with ? 0.05 pF matching capacitance between signal pairs

? Line capacitance of only 0.6 pF for each channel

? Design-friendly ‘pass-thru’ signal routing

1.3 Applications

The devices are designed for high-speed receiver and transmitter port protection:

? TVs, monitors

? DVD recorders and players

? Notebooks, main board graphics cards and ports

? Set-top boxes and game consoles
