ESD Protection Devices Optimized for High-Density Electronics

Taiwan Semiconductor introduced a series of ultra-small. DFN0603-packaged ESD protection devices optimized for wearables and other high-density electronic products. The 3.3- and 5.0-V TESDx Series exceed the 8kV IEC61000-4-2 20-kV contact discharge standard as well as IEC6100-4-5 4-A peak pulse current. The company’s clamping cells are used to prevent overvoltage damage from ESD and lightning on control, power, and data lines. They offer electrostatic discharge and electronic fast-transient protection, and when protecting high-speed data signals, they also provide extremely low capacitance to ensure that the signal integrity in the application remains within spec and uncompromised.
