CM1227 provides +/-15kV contact ESD protection
California Micro Devices
Picoguard CM1227
California Micro Devices has announced the Picoguard CM1227, an ultra-low-capacitance electrostatic-discharge (ESD) device for the latest digital consumer and computer applications.
The CM1227 provides four channels of +/-15kV contact ESD protection, exceeding IEC61000-4-2 level 4 standards.
With a low capacitance level of 0.35pF, it delivers robust ESD protection and good signal integrity.
Based on CMD's Picoguard line of ESD protection products, the CM1227 provides space and cost savings for advanced digital consumer and PC designs.
Key features: ultra-low channel-input capacitance (0.35pF); ESD protection for transition-minimised differential signalling channels; four channels of 15kV contact discharge; ESD protection per IEC61000-4-2 level 4; channel-input capacitance matching of 0.02pF, suitable for differential signals; minimal capacitance change over operating voltage range; each I/O pin can withstand over 1000 ESD strikes; available in RoHS compliant (lead-free) packaging.
The CM1227 is available in a 10-pin microUDFN package (2.5 x 1.0mm).
