1. General description

Extremely low clamping, extremely low capacitance bidirectional ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD)

protection diode, part of the TrEOS protection family. This device is housed in a DSN0603-2

(SOD962-2) leadless, ultra-small Surface-Mounted Device (SMD) package designed to protect one

signal line from the damage caused by ESD and other transients.

2. Features and benefits
