Tyco Electronics has added three devices to its line of electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection devices.

The 0201-sized Silicon ESD (SESD) devices are approximately 70% smaller than previous generation 0402-sized devices.

The SESD device's miniature footprint measures 0.6mm x 0.3mm x 0.3mm.

The initial offerings in the 0201 chip scale package (CSP) include the SESD0201C-006-058 and the SESD0201C-120-058. The SESD0201C-006-058 is a bi-directional and ultra-low capacitance 0.6pF device that is suitable for protecting very-high-speed data lines, such as USB and HDMI, or low-voltage antenna ports.

The device as low capacitance and an low insertion loss of less than 0.5dB up to 3GHz.

The SESD0201C-120-058 is a higher capacitance (12pF) device.
