Description

The D03316P-102MLD is a diode array which belongs to the CM1293 family of diode arrays that has been designed to provide Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection for electronic components or sub-systems requiring minimal capacitive loading. This device is specially designed to protect systems with high data and clock rates or for circuits requiring low capacitive loading. Each ESD channel in D03316P-102MLD consists of a pair of diodes in series which steer the positive or negative ESD current pulse to either the positive (VP) or negative (VN) supply rail.
