specifically for use in automotive circuits requiring ESD protection. The CGA-MLC

series is available in industry standard 0402 and 0603 packages. In addition to its very

low capacitance, these protectors exhibit extremely fast response times to ESD events

making them ideal for protecting a wide array of high speed digitial electronic

applications.

Notes:

1. VT and VC measured using TLP (Transmission Line Pulse) method.

2. Peak voltage measured under ESD Test Conditions: IEC61000-4-2, 8 kV contact discharge.

3. IEC 61000-4-2 ESD Performance for CGA0603MLC-05E and CGA0603MLC-12E devices will meet minimum 100 reps.

Some shifting in characteristics may occur when tested over several hundred ESD pulses. All other part numbers listed will meet

IEC 61000-4-2 ESD Performance with minimum 1000 reps without degradation in performance.
