Product Description

The CM1218 family of devices features transient voltage suppressor arrays that provide a very high level of protection for sensitive electronic components which may be subjected to electrostatic discharge (ESD).

Features

? Low I/O capacitance at 7pF typical

? In-system ESD protection to ±15kV contact discharge, per the IEC 61000-4-2 international standard

? Two, three, four or five channels of ESD protection

? Compact SMT package saves board space and facilitates layout in space-critical applications

? Each I/O pin can withstand over 1000 ESD strikes

? Lead-free versions available

Applications

? High-speed consumer electronic ports

? ESD protection of PC ports, including USB ports, serial ports, parallel ports, IEEE1394 ports, docking ports, proprietary ports, etc.

? Protection of interface ports or IC pins which are exposed to high ESD levels
