California Micro Devices' PACTMKBME, is a keyboard or mouse filter for use in computers. Using the company's patented P/Active technology, the device provides EMI/RFI filtering, termination and ESD protection that exceeds IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 international standard, protecting it from accidental damage caused by ESD up to 30 kV contact discharge.
The PACKBME device terminates the two data lines for the keyboard or mouse port and is a low-cost, single-chip solution. By integrating resistors, capacitors and diodes on silicon, it provides significant savings in cost and board space while enhancing the system's performance. The PACKBME is available in a surface-mount SOT23-6 package.
