Taiwan Semiconductor, global supplier of discrete power electronics devices, LED drivers, analog ICs and ESD devices, introduces a new series of new ultra-small ESD protection devices optimized for wearables and other high-density electronic products. All DFN0603-packaged models in the 3.3 V and 5.0 V TESDx Series exceed the 8 kV IEC61000-4-2 20kV contact discharge standard as well as IEC6100-4-5 4A peak pulse current, with margin. TESDx Series devices utilize Taiwan Semiconductor’s proprietary clamping cells to prevent overvoltage damage from ESD and lightning on control, power and data lines. Additionally, their industry’s lowest capacitance allows for full USB 3.0 data rates without compromise.

Applications for the new 3.3 V/5.0 V ESD protection series include:

  • TESDH3V3B03P1Q0 3.3 V/40 W 0.2 pF
  • TESDL3V3B23P1Q0 3.3 V/70 W 17 pF
  •  TESDH5V0B03P1Q0 5.0 V/100 W 0.2 pF

“For wearables and other high-density electronic products, the devices used for ESD protection should be as small and thin as possible, so our new DFN0603-packaged devices are an ideal choice,” said Sam Wang, vice president, TSC Products. “The 3.3 V and 5.0 V models in the series provide full-compliance electrostatic discharge and electronic fast-transient protection, with margin. When protecting high speed data signals, they also offer extremely low capacitance to ensure that the signal integrity in the application remains within spec and uncompromised.” Go to Taiwan Semiconductor’s Product Filter to link to datasheets, SPICE models, etc., for each device.
