CM1293
2, 4, and 8-Channel Low Capacitance ESD Protection Arrays
Features
Product Description
•
•
2, 4, and 8 channels of ESD protection
Provides ESD protection to IEC61000-4-2
- 8kV contact discharge
- 15kV air discharge
Low loading capacitance of 2.0pF max.
Low clamping voltage
Channel I/O to I/O capacitance 1.5pF typical
Zener diode protects supply rail and eliminates the
need for external by-pass capacitors
Each I/O pin can withstand over 1000 ESD strikes
Available in SOT, and MSOP packages
Lead-free version available
The CM1293 family of diode arrays has been designed
to provide ESD protection for electronic components or
sub-systems requiring minimal capacitive loading.
These devices are ideal for protecting systems with
high data and clock rates or for circuits requiring low
capacitive loading. Each ESD channel consists of a
pair of diodes in series which steer the positive or neg-

P
negative (V ) supply rail. A Zener diode is embedded

between V and V , offering two advantages. First, it

protects the V rail against ESD strikes, and second,

it eliminates the need for a bypass capacitor that would
otherwise be needed for absorbing positive ESD
strikes to ground. The CM1293 will protect against
ESD pulses up to ( 15kV air, 8kV contact discharge)
per the IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 standard.
Applications
•
DVI ports, HDMI ports in notebooks, set top boxes,
digital TVs, LCD displays
Serial ATA ports in desktop PCs and hard disk
drives
PCI Express ports
General purpose high-speed data line ESD
protection
This device is particularly well-suited for protecting sys-
tems using high-speed ports such as USB2.0,
IEEE1394 (Firewire®, iLink™), Serial ATA, DVI, HDMI
and corresponding ports in removable storage, digital
camcorders, DVD-RW drives and other applications
where extremely low loading capacitance with ESD
protection are required in a small package footprint.
