Low capacitance bidirectional ESD protection diodes

Application information

PESD5V0S1Bx series is designed for the protection of one bidirectional signal line from

the damage caused by ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD) and surge pulses. The devices may

be used on lines where the signal polarities are above and below ground. They provide a

surge capability of up to 130 W per line for a 8/20

µs waveform.

Circuit board layout and protection device placement:

Circuit board layout is critical for the suppression of ESD, EFT and surge transients.

The following guidelines are recommended:

1. Place the protection device as close to the input terminal or connector as possible.

2. The path length between the protection device and the protected line should be

minimized.

3. Keep parallel signal paths to a minimum.

4. Avoid running protection conductors in parallel with unprotected conductor.

5. Minimize all printed-circuit board conductive loops including power and ground loops.

6. Minimize the length of the transient return path to ground.

7. Avoid using shared transient return paths to a common ground point.

8. Ground planes should be used whenever possible. For multilayer printed-circuit

boards, use ground vias.
