The MAX3205E/MAX3207E/MAX3208E low-capacitance, 15kV ESD-protection diode arrays with an integrated transient voltage suppressor (TVS) clamp are suitable for high-speed and general-signal ESD protection. Low input capacitance makes these devices ideal for ESD protection of signals in HDTV, PC monitors (DVITM, HDMITM), PC peripherals (FireWire, USB 2.0), server interconnect (PCI ExpressTM, Infiniband ), datacom, and interchassis interconnect. Each channel consists of a pair of diodes that steer ESD current pulses to VCC or GND. The MAX3205E/MAX3207E/MAX3208E protect against ESD pulses up to 15kV Human Body Model, 8kV Contact Discharge, and 15kV Air-Gap Discharge, as specified in IEC 61000-4-2. An integrated TVS ensures that the voltage rise seen on VCC during an ESD event is clamped to a known voltage. These devices have a 2pF input capacitance per channel, and a channel-tochannel capacitance variation of only 0.05pF, making them ideal for use on high-speed, single-ended, or differential signals. The MAX3207E is a two-channel device suitable for USB 1.1, USB 2.0 (480Mbps), and USB OTG applications. The MAX3208E is a four-channel device for Ethernet and FireWire applications. The MAX3205E is a six-channel device for cell phone connectors and SVGA video connections. |
