ZHCSGK5B July 2017 – August 2024 ESD401
PRODUCTION DATA
The ESD401 is a passive integrated circuit that triggers when voltages are above VBRF or below VBRR. During ESD events, voltages as high as ±24 kV (contact) or ±30 kV ( air) can be directed to ground via the internal diode network. When the voltages on the protected line fall below the trigger levels of ESD401 (usually within 10s of nano-seconds) the device reverts to passive.
Figure 6-1 shows typical TLP behavior of bi-directional ESD device that does not exhibit snapback.
