Infineon has significantly expanded its portfolio of small and thin TVS diodes since launching the world’s smallest TVS diode back in 2007. Today, Infineon continues to support the miniaturization of modern wireless electronics, launching more and more products for the most challenging applications. Today’s electronics, however, are highly susceptible to disruption and electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a major threat to system reliability. External interfaces such as connectors and antenna systems are common entry points for ESD.
As a result, critical pins have to be efficiently protected against this threat. The new ESD200 TVS diode from Infineon is available in a slim-line package and protects equipment from damage by absorbing energy released by electrostatic discharges on an I/O port. It has an extremely low clamping voltage and dynamic resistance (0.20Ω), which enables it to respond extremely effectively to electrostatic discharge. The new diode is capable of absorbing 16kV of energy, significantly more than the 8kV defined in the strictest industry standard, IEC 61000-4-2. Infineon has combined the ESD200-B1-CSP0201 with its most recent ultra-slim chip scale package technology. WLL-2-1 packages (0.6x0.3x0.15mm) pave the way for optimum PCB layouts as well as outstanding cost efficiency and maximum space savings.
Features
- ESD/transient protection of high-speed data lines above and beyond specifications set down in:
- IEC61000-4-2 (ESD): ±16kV (air/contact)
- IEC61000-4-5 (surge): ±3.5A (8/20µs)
- Maximum working voltage: VRWM = ±5.5V
- Line capacitance: CL = 6.5pF (typical)
- Extremely low leakage voltage: 0.1nA (typical)
- Very low clamping voltage: VCL = 12V (typical) at VESD = 8kV contact discharge
- Very low dynamic resistance: RDYN = 0.20Ω
- Pb-free and halogen-free package (RoHS compliance)
Applications
- ESD200x is designed to protect highly susceptible IC/ ASICs in audio, headset and human-digital interfaces. Its compact dimensions make it the perfect solution for saving space and boosting performance in miniaturized modern electronic devices such as smartphones, notebooks and tablet PCs.
