Murata has a range of ceramic and silicon-based electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection devices, which have low capacitance for use in high speed data transmission systems.

Silicon based parts in the LXES series feature a low capacitance design (down to 0.25pF typical), which also minimises signal loss on high speed data and transmission lines.

Suppression levels deliver less than 100V output when input voltage is 15kV and repetition durability is 1000 cycles at 8kV contact voltage.

The product series includes two, four and six line array designs, along with single line devices.

Ceramic parts in the LXES series also feature ultra-low capacitance (down to 0.05pF typical) and small case size, down to 1.0 x 0.5 x 0.33mm.

The ceramic devices produce very little distortion (under -100dBm at 800MHz) making them suitable for use in antenna circuitry.

They also feature high repetition durability (1000 cycles at 8kV contact voltage).
