ESDR7534
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Option 2
The new ESDR7534 is a low capacitance surge protection
diode array designed to protect sensitive electronics such as
communications systems, computers, and computer
peripherals against damage due to ESD events or transient
overvoltage conditions. Because of its low capacitance, it
can be used in high speed I/O data lines. The integrated
design of the ESDR7534 offers low capacitance steering

integrated in a single package. If a transient condition
occurs, the steering diodes will drive the transient to the
positive rail of the power supply or to ground. The surge
protection device protects the power line against
overvoltage conditions to avoid damage to the power supply
and any downstream components.

The ESDR7534 can be isolated from the power supply by
The ESDR7534 is able to protect up to four data lines
against transient overvoltage conditions by driving them to
a fixed reference point for clamping purposes. The steering
diodes will be forward biased whenever the voltage on the

Data lines are connected at pins 1, 3, 4 and 6. The negative
reference is connected at pin 2. This pin must be connected
directly to ground by using a ground plane to minimize the
PCB’s ground inductance. It is very important to reduce the
PCB trace lengths as much as possible to minimize parasitic
inductances.
