Tiny ESD protection diode

9 October 2013 Circuit & System Protection

Vishay unveiled a new bidirectional symmetrical (BiSy) single-line ESD protection diode for portable electronics in the ultra-compact CLP0603 package. Measuring only 0,6 by 0,3 mm with a very low height of 0,27 mm, the VBUS05A1-SD0 offers low capacitance and leakage current for the protection of high-speed data lines against transient voltage signals.

The device uses a 0603 (metric) chip-level package that is one of the smallest in the industry, requiring three times less board space than packages with a 1006 (metric) size. Due to its short leads and small package size, the diode’s line inductance is very low, allowing fast transients such as an ESD strike to be clamped with minimal over- or under-shoots.

With a very low load capacitance of < 0,8 pF, the VBUS05A1-SD0 can be used for the protection of high-speed data ports like HDMI, USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt. It features a low maximum leakage current of < 0,1 A at the working voltage of 5,5 V, a breakdown voltage of 8,8 V typical at 1 mA, and a maximum clamping voltage of 18 V at 2,5 A.

The device provides transient protection for one data line as per IEC 61000-4-2 at ±13 kV (air and contact discharge). It is lead- and halogen-free and RoHS compliant.
