AN ultra-compact, leadless package that provides space savings up to 60 per cent has been introduced by Vishay, represented by Braemac , with the release of the first two ESD protection arrays in the new LLP75 package.
Optimised for electrical performance and extraordinary space savings, the new GMF05C-HS3 and GMF05LC-HS3 five-diode arrays are intended for I/O line protection applications in compact and handheld products.
Both new devices are specified to meet the immunity requirements of IEC 1000-4-2, offering ESD protection to 15kV (air) and 8kV (contact).
The GMF05C-HS3 ESD protection array features peak pulse current of 12A and peak pulse power of 200W at a 8/20ms waveform. Total capacitance for the device is 150pF.
The GMF05LC, intended for low-capacitance ESD protection, features peak pulse current of 8A and peak pulse power of 100W at 8/20ms waveform, with a low total capacitance value of 50pF.
Reverse stand-off voltage of 5V in both devices, as well as low leakage current and low operating and clamping voltages, further enhances electrical performance.
The GMF05C-HS3 and GMF05LC-HS3 are packaged in the new LLP75-6HS, a leadless plastic package with an integrated heat sink and compact dimensions measuring just 1.6mm by 1.6mm with a 0.7mm height profile.
Each diode array offers bi-directional protection of four I/O lines and unidirectional protection of five output lines. The new devices are specified for an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.
