Low-capacitance ESD transient suppressor

Low-capacitance ESD transient suppressor

AVX recently introduced what it describes as “the industry`s smallest transient voltage supressor,” designed to outperform SOT-23 diodes for ESD protection. Designated the StaticGuard series, the 0805 chip was specifically developed as a low capacitance MLV (multilayer varistor) transient voltage suppressor for bi-directional ESD protection in CMOS and bipolar applications. The StaticGuard is a single 0805 chip with 100 mJ of transient energy-handling capability and capacitance of less than 100 pF. Rated for operation at any voltage up to and including 18 VDC, the StaticGuard clamps at less than 50 VDC, regardless of operating voltage, with a transient response time of well below 1 ns. The device exhibits extremely low leakage current (less than 10 mA @ Vwm).
