StaticGuard AVX Multilayer Ceramic Transient Voltage Suppressors ESD Protection for CMOS, Bi Polar and SiGe Based Systems GENERAL DESCRIPTION The StaticGuard Series are low capacitance versions of the TransGuard and are designed for general ESD protection of CMOS, Bi-Polar, and SiGe based systems. The low capacitance makes these products suitable for use in high speed data trans- mission lines. APPLICATIONS GENERAL FEATURES Sensors CHARACTERISTICS Typical ESD failure voltage for CMOS CMOS and/or Bi Polar is 200V Operating Temperature: SIGe based systems -55C to 125C Low capacitance (<200pF) is Higher speeed data lines Working Voltage: 18Vdc required for high-speed data Capacitance sensitive applications transmission. Case Size: 0402, 0603, 0805, 1206 and more Low leakage current (I ) is necessary L for battery operated equipment. 15kV ESD pulse (air discharge) per IEC 61000-4-2, Level 4, generates < 20 millijoules of energy.
