Silicon ESD (SESD) devices help protect electronic
circuits against damage from electrostatic discharge
(ESD) events. The 0201-sized SESD device’s miniature
footprint – measuring 0.6mm x 0.3mm x 0.3mm - is
approximately 70 percent smaller than prior-generation
devices, offering designers flexibility in space-
constrained applications.
The SESD0201C-006-058 device is a bi-directional and
ultra-low capacitance 0.6 picofarad (pF) device that is
suitable for helping to protect very-high-speed data
lines, such as USB and HDMI, or low-voltage antenna
ports. The device’s ultra-low capacitance, low insertion
loss (<0.5dB up to 3GHz), and high linearity of
capacitance versus frequency helps minimize signal
degradation.
The SESD0201C-120-058 (12pF) device and
SESD0201P1BN-0400-090 (4pF) device are higher-
capacitance bi-directional devices that can be used for
low-speed generic interfaces such as keypads, power
buttons, speakers, and microphone ports in portable electronics. Both SESD0201C-006-058 and SESD0201C-120-
058 devices offer 8kV contact and 15kV air discharge protection per the IEC61000-4-2, level 4 standard, while the
SESD0201P1BN-0400-090 device offers 10kV contact and 16kV air discharge protection per the IEC61000-4-2, level
4 standard.
The SESD0402S-005-054 device is an ultra-low-capacitance SOD-923 (0402-size package) uni-directional device
with 0.5pF typical capacitance. This device offers a 10kV contact discharge rating per IEC61000-4-2, level 4 and
can be used with digital applications such as USB and HDMI.
Also included in the product line is the SESD0402P1BN-0450-090 device. This device is a higher-capacitance
(4.5pF), SMD bi-directional device that offers 10kV contact and 16kV air discharge protection per the IEC61000-4-
2, level 4 standard.
