Littelfuse introduced the XGD Series XTREME-GUARD ESD suppressor, available in 0402- and 0603-sized, flat-topped surface mount packages. Based on cutting-edge ESD technology, it protects sensitive electronics against electrostatic discharges as high as 30 kV and is suitable for high-voltage applications up to 32 V d.c.
When correctly integrated into a circuit design, the XGD series can safely absorb repetitive ESD strikes nearly four times the maximum level specified in the IEC61000-4-2 international standard without performance degradation. Extremely low capacitance makes the devices suitable for use in high-frequency and high-speed data, video, antenna and I/O circuits. Even after multiple ESD strikes, they exhibit ultra-low current leakage (<1 nA), ensuring minimal power losses and making them well suited for protecting battery-powered electronics like wearables.
Applications can be found in the industrial, consumer electronics, telecom/datacom and white goods/home appliances markets.
