CM1293A
2- and 4-Channel Low Capacitance ESD Protection Arrays
Features
Product Description
•
2 and 4 channels of ESD protection
The CM1293A 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 negative ESD current pulse to
Note: For the 8-channel device, see the CM1293
datasheet.

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
systems 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.

*Standard test condition is IEC61000-4-2 level 4 test circuit with each pin subjected to 8kV 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.
