CM1214A
1 and 2 Channel PicoGuardTM AC Signal ESD Protector
Features
Product Description
•
•
•
Single channel ESD protection for an AC signal up
to 5ꢀ for 0.25W transmit power
Connects two channels in series for signals up to
+10ꢀ (1W transmit power)
8kꢀ ESD protection per IEC 61000-4-2 contact
discharge
The CM1214A PicoGuard™ ESD protector is used to
protect bipolar signal lines against electrostatic
discharge (ESD). The CM1214A allows operation in
high-speed environments with signals levels up to 5ꢀ.
The CM1214A comes in two versions:
•
The CM1214A-01SO is a single channel ESD
protector and is available in a 3-lead SOT23-3
package.
•
•
•
•
Sub-1pF loading capacitance
Minimal variation with voltage and temperature
Each I/O pin can withstand over 1000 ESD strikes*
SOT23-3 and MSOP-8 lead-free packages
•
The CM1214A-02MR is a dual channel ESD
protector and is available in an 8-lead MSOP-8
package.
Applications
The low sub-1pF loading capacitance makes the
CM1214A-01SO ideal for protecting high-speed
interfaces including RF switches and amplifiers.
•
•
•
•
RF switch and amplifier protection
RF modules and RF IC protection
Wireless handsets and WLAN
The CM1214A-02MR is ideal for dual high-speed
signal pairs used in Gigabit Ethernet, ADSL, etc. The
CM1214A-02MR can also be used for higher transmit
voltage applications by connecting the two channels in
series.
High-speed AC signals for Gbit Ethernet, etc.
Both devices come in lead-free finishing.

*Standard test condition is IEC61000-4-2 level 4 test circuit with each pin subjected to 8kꢀ contact discharge for 1000 pulses. Discharges are timed at 1 second intervals and all 1000 strikes are completed in one continuous test
run. The part is then subjected to standard production test to verify that all of the tested parameters are within spec after the 1000 strikes.
