ESD protection diode suited to high-speed applications

The Texas Instruments ESD701 is a bidirectional ESD protection diode. The ESD701 is offered in the industry standard 0402 (DPY) package and provides an IEC 61000-4-2 protection level of 15kV. The device can clamp 8/20µs surges with peak pulse currents up to 3A by the IEC 61000-4-5 standard.

The low capacitance and low leakage current help ensure protection against transient events in various systems and applications. This protection is key for many applications, such as smaller form factors and faster data speeds, which are becoming more popular over time.
