TE’s Polymer ESD (PESD) line of devices helps protect
I/O ports on HDMI 1.3, portable video players, LCD and
plasma TVs, USB 2.0, digital visual interface (DVI) and
antenna switches. PESD devices shunt electrostatic
discharge away from sensitive circuitry in HDTV
equipment, printers, laptops, cellular phones and other
portable devices.
PESD devices offer many advantages over traditional
protection devices, such as multi layer varistors (MLVs),
which may degrade or distort the signal in high data
rate circuits. Compared to transient voltage suppression
(TVS) diodes and miniature gas discharge tubes (GDTs),
PESD devices provide a more compact form factor and
an economical solution for the shrinking profiles of
today’s compact information appliances.
Available in a range of form factors, our PESD protection
devices provide low capacitance and meet transmission
line pulse (TLP) testing, as well as IEC61000-4-2 testing.
