3 Description
The ESD122 is a bidirectional TVS ESD protection
diode array for USB Type-C and HDMI 2.0 circuit
protection. The ESD122 is rated to dissipate contact
ESD strikes at the maximum level specified in the
IEC 61000-4-2 international standard (17-kV Contact,
17-kV Air-gap).
This device features a low IO capacitance per
channel and pin-out to suit symmetric differential
high-speed signal routing making it ideal for
protecting high-speed interfaces up to 10 Gbps such
as USB 3.1 Gen2 and HDMI 2.0. The low dynamic
resistance and low clamping voltage ensure system
level protection against transient events.
Additionally, the ESD122 is an ideal ESD solution for
the USB Type-C Tx/Rx lines. Since the USB Type-C
connector has two layers, using 4-channel ESD
devices require VIAs which degrade the signal
integrity. Using four ESD122 (2-Ch) devices minimize
the number of VIAs and simply the board layout.
The ESD122 is offered in two easy routing flow
through packages.
