Tyco Electronics has announced the addition of three devices to its line of electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection devices.

The 0201-sized Silicon ESD (SESD) devices are approximately 70 per cent smaller than prior generation 0402-sized devices and help provide protection and improve reliability of portable electronics such as mobile phones, MP3 players, PDAs and digital cameras.

The SESD device's miniature footprint - 0.6 x 0.3 x 0.3mm - offers designers flexibility in space-constrained applications.

Bidirectional operation allows placement on the PCB without orientation constraint and will not clip signals that swing below ground.

Designed to withstand IEC61000-4-2 ESD test pulses, the SESD device helps protect sensitive integrated circuits (ICs).

Tyco Electronics' initial offerings in the 0201 chip-scale package (CSP) include the SESD0201C-006-058 and the SESD0201C-120-058.

The SESD0201C-006-058 is a bi-directional and ultra-low capacitance 0.6 picofarad (pF) device that is suitable for protecting high-speed data lines, such as USB and HDMI, or low-voltage antenna ports.

The device's ultra-low capacitance, low insertion loss (less than 0.5dB up to 3GHz) and high linearity of voltage vs frequency helps minimise signal degradation.

The SESD0201C-120-058 is a higher capacitance (12pF) device that can be used for low-speed generic interfaces such as keypads, power buttons, speakers and microphone ports in portable electronics.

Both SESD0201C-006-058 and SESD0201C-012-058 devices offer 8kV contact and 15kV air discharge protection per the IEC61000-4-2 standard.

Tyco is also introducing the SESD0402S-005-054 device, an ultra-low capacitance SOD-923 (0402-size package) device with 0.5pF typical capacitance, and a 10kV contact discharge rating per IEC61000-4-2 for use with digital applications such as USB and HDMI.
