TESDF5V0A

Bi-Directional ESD Protection Array

Small Signal Diode

Applications Information

Circuit Board Layout Recommendations

Place the ESD protection array as close to the input terminal or connector as possible

Keep parallel signal paths to a minimum

Be used on lines where the signal polarities are above and below ground

Designed for the bi-directional protection of 2 lines from the damage caused by Electro Static Discharge (ESD) and surge pulses

Minimize all printed-circuit board conductive loops including power and group loops

Provides a surge capability of 100 Watts peak Ppp per line for an 8/20 ms waveform.

Ground planes should be used. For multilayer printed-circuit boards, use ground vias

Below picture is the typical application for bi-directional protection of two lines

Avoid using shared transient return paths to a common ground point
