Low-capacitance ESD devices

20 January 2010 Circuit & System Protection

Murata has introduced the LXES series of ceramic and

silicon-based ESD protection devices.

Silicon based parts in the LXES series feature a low capacitance design (down to 0,25 pF typical), which also minimises signal loss on high-speed data and transmission lines. Additional features include high suppression levels (less than 100 V output when input voltage is 15 kV) and high repetition durability (1000 cycles at 8 kV contact voltage). The product series includes two-, four- and six-line array designs, along with single-line devices.

Ceramic parts in the LXES series also feature ultra-low capacitance (down to 0,05 pF typical) and small case size, down to 1,0 x 0,5 x 0,33 mm. The ceramic devices produce very little distortion (under -100 dBm at 800 MHz) making them suitable for use in antenna circuitry. They also feature high repetition durability (1000 cycles at 8 kV contact voltage).
