ESD Protection Diodes Serve High-Speed Interfaces
Addressing high-speed interfaces exceeding 10 Gb/s, ROHM Semiconductor's latest electrostatic-discharge (ESD) protection diodes offer both a low dynamic resistance (Rdyn) as well as very low capacitance. The RESDxVx series achieves a terminal capacitance of 0.24 pF (bidirectional) and 0.48 pF (unidirectional), suiting it for a wide range of high-speed data communication applications.
The devices successfully break the capacitance-resistance tradeoff by reducing dynamic resistance to 0.28 Ω. This results in a clamping voltage approximately 40% lower than legacy products.
In addition to enhancing reliability in applications from industrial infrastructure to consumer electronics, the DFN1006‑2W-packaged RESDxVxBASAFH and RESDxVxUASAFH are AEC‑Q101-qualified for demanding automotive applications.
