ESD protection diodes

With their optimized diode structure, Philips’ ESD protection diodes offer a superior size / performance ratio with outstanding ESD protection of automotive electronics. A wide portfolio is available for protection of all interfaces in automotive electronics; from general line-protection for engine/body -controllers up to specific devices for protection of USB-interfaces or antenna-inputs in car entertainment applications.

KEY FEATUREs
- Excellent ESD clamping performance
- Ultra low leakage current
- Low device capacitance
- ESD protection up to 30 kV
- IEC 61000-4-2, level 4 compliant (8 kV
   contact, 15 kV air discharge)

Key benefits
- Optimized diode structure for best-in-class
   ESD protection of today’s sensitive
   car electronics
- Low clamping voltages and fast response
   times ensure optimal protection
- Ultra low leakage current helps to reduce
   overall power consumption
- Low device capacitance keeps unwanted
   disturbances in the circuits to a minimum

Key applications
- Data and audio interfaces,
   e.g. car multimedia line protection
- Overvoltage protection,
   e.g. airbag controllers
- Car drivers interface protection,
   e.g. dashboard panels
- CAN and LIN bus protection
