ChipGuard® Automotive MLC Series - ESD Protectors
General Information
®
®
Bourns ChipGuard Automotive MLC Series is a sub-1 pF protector designed
specifically for use in automotive circuits requiring ESD protection. The CGA-MLC
series is available in industry standard 0402 and 0603 packages. In addition to its very
low capacitance, these protectors exhibit extremely fast response times to ESD events
making them ideal for protecting a wide array of high speed digitial electronic
applications.
®
The ChipGuard Automotive MLC Series is fully AEC-Q200 qualified and supported.
