Varistors protect data lines

The multilayer ceramic varistors feature nonlinear, bidirectional voltage-current characteristics similar to back-to-back Zener diodes and an EMC capacitor in parallel.

AVX has developed the USB varistors designed to protect the high-speed data lines that make up the Universal Serial Bus (USB) against ESD transients Their fast turn on times and very low capacitance make the varistors suitable for protecting high-speed serial data lines
