ON Semiconductor has introduced a range of transient voltage suppression devices for use in high-speed data and video lines.
The ESD protection devices, the ESD7008, MG2040 and ESD7104 are designed to protect up to four high-speed differential pairs (eight lines), the ESD7008 has a low I/O to ground capacitance of 0.12pF.
Likely applications for the ESD7008 include USB 3.0 where it protects 3 high speed pairs plus Vcc and Iden lines for a fully integrated solution, V-by-One and Thunderbolt (Light Peak).
The MG2040 transient voltage suppressor is designed specifically to provide full functionality integrated ESD protection for up to 14 lines serving all active pins of HDMI and DisplayPort interfaces.
Capacitance is specified at 0.35 pF typical (I/O to GND). This device has a flow through package design and a low ESD clamping voltage so can be used to protect voltage sensitive high-speed data lines.
The ESD7104 is available in a smaller UDFN10 package.
