The Praetorian and Centurion electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter application specific integrated passive (ASIP) devices feature electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection up to ± 15 kV contact discharge. The devices, suited to mobile applications, use a large-area ground pad to minimize ground inductance. The thin, compact uDFN packages are available with 4 to 16 leads. The filters are backward compatible with previous offerings of 0.4-mm pitch TDFN filters, which circumvents PCB re-designs. Typical package thickness reaches 0.50 mm.
