ANALOG DEVICES MAX3205EATE+

The MAX3205EATE+ is a hex channel high speed differential ESD-protection IC in 16 pin TQFN package. It 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. It has a 2pF input capacitance per channel and a channel to channel capacitance variation of only 0.05pF making it ideal for use on high speed, single ended or differential signals. Each channel consists of a pair of diodes that steer ESD current pulses to VCC or GND. This six-channel device used for cell phone connectors and SVGA video connections and low input capacitance makes device ideal for ESD protection of signals in HDTV, PC monitors (DVI, HDMI), PC peripherals (FireWire, USB 2.0), server interconnect (PCI Express, InfiniBand), datacom & interchassis interconnect.
