ESD-SAFE™ Automotive MLCC, KAE series
ESD Withstanding Automotive Ceramic Capacitor
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ESD-SafeTM series is an enhanced MLC capacitor developed and designed specifically for general ESD
protection. (ESD = Electro Static Discharge).
ESD-SafeTM capacitors are utilized for ESD protection of I/O gates. ESD capacitors are used on nearly every pin of
an automotive module. Their use at that point averages the voltage that the wiring harness can be charged to and
the module voltage.
The small footprint makes them ideal for high density electronic devices.
Capacitance selection is a trade off. Large capacitance values provide better ESD protection however a larger could
corrupt the data stream.
ESD-SafeTM Capacitors provide (beside ESD protection) RF filtering function.
