Reliable ESD protection of single lines
Description
Due to the ongoing miniaturization, today’s electronic devices are more and more sensitive to electrostatic
discharges (ESD). Therefore reliable protection components become absolutely necessary to safeguard your
valuable electronics against the impact of ESD.
Multilayer Varistors are ceramic semiconductors optimized specifically for high performance in ESD
applications. They have a non-linear voltage/current characteristic for effectively suppressing extremely fast
voltage transients and offer superior parametric stability over the complete operating range of –40 °C to +85 °C.
Multilayer Varistors are bi-directional devices. A single Multilayer Varistor connected from signal/data line to
ground routes both positive and negative ESD transitions safely to the ground plane. This technique eliminates
the need to route ESD charge into the power plane, possibly damaging n earby integrated circuits.
Features
Bidirectional ESD protection to IEC 61000-4-2 (level 4)
Suitable for uni and bidirectional lines
Bidirectional ESD protection in a two-pin line
Routes all ESD events, both positive and negative, safely to ground
Suitable for DC working voltages u p to 16 V
Very low capacitance down to 0.6 pF
No derating of maximum ratings up to 85 °C
Extremely fast response time < 0.5 ns
Nickel barrier terminations suitable for lead-free soldering
RoHS-compatible
Applications
Mobile communication
Portable handheld product s (e.g. PDA)
Peripherals (e.g. printers, memory cards, etc.)
EDP products (e.g. desktop and note book computers)
Interfaces (e.g. audio and video, USB, IEEE 1394, Ethernet, DVI)
Consumer products (Flat TVs, set-top boxes, MP3 players, digital cameras, etc. )
Liquid crystal displays (LCD) / monitors

The following applies to all products named in this publication:
1. Some parts of this publication contain statements about the suitability of our products for
certain areas of application. These statements are based on our knowledge of typical
requirements that are often placed on our products in the areas of application concerned. We
nevertheless expressly point out that such statements cannot be regarded as binding
statements about the suitability of our products for a particular customer application. As a
rule, EPCOS is either unfamiliar with individual customer applications or less familiar with them
than the customers themselves. For these reasons, it is always ultimately incumbent on the
customer to check and decide whether an EPCOS product with the properties described in the
product specification is suitable for use in a particular customer application.
2. We also point out that in individual cases, a malfunction of passive electronic components
or failure before the end of their usual service life cannot be completely ruled out in the
current state of the art, even if they are operated as specified. In customer applications
requiring a very high level of operational safety and especially in customer applications in which
the malfunction or failure of a passive electronic component could endanger human life or health
(e.g. in accident prevention or life-saving systems), it must therefore be ensured by means of
suitable design of the customer application or other action taken by the customer (e.g. installation
of protective circuitry or redundancy) that no injury or damage is sustained by third parties in the
event of malfunction or failure of a passive electronic component.
3. The warnings, cautions and product-specific notes must be observed.
4. In order to satisfy certain technical requirements, some of the products described in this
publication may contain substances subject to restrictions in certain jurisdictions (e.g.
because they are classed as hazardous). Useful information on this will be found in our Mate rial
Data Sheets on the Internet (www.epcos.com/material). Should you have any more detailed
questions, please contact our sales offices.
5. We constantly strive to improve our products. Consequently, the products described in this
publication may change from time to time. The same is true of the corresponding product
specifications. Please check therefore to what extent product descriptions and specifications
contained in this publication are still applicable before or when you place an order.
We also reserve the right to discontinue production and delivery of products. Consequently,
we cannot guarantee that all products named in this publication will always be available.
The aforementioned does not apply in the case of individual agreements deviating from the
foregoing for customer-specific products.
6. Unless otherwise agreed in individual contracts, all orders are subject to the current version of
the “General Terms of Delivery for Products and Services in the Electrical Industry”
published by the German Electrical and Electronics Industry Association (ZVEI).
7. The trade names EPCOS, BAOKE, Alu-X, CeraDiode, CSSP, DSSP, MiniBlue, MKK, MLSC,
