The PACDN006 is a diode array designed to provide six channels of ESD protection for electronic components or subsystems. Each channel consists of a pair of diodes that steer an ESD current pulse to either the positive (VP) or negative (VN) supply. The PACDN006 protects against ESD pulses up to: ±8kV contact discharge, per International Standard IEC 61000-4-2 and ±15kV per Human Body Model MIL-STD-883, Method 3015 (based on a 100 pF capacitor discharging through a 1.5KΩ resistor). This device is particularly well-suited for portable electronics (e.g., cellular phones, PDAs, notebook computers) because of its small package footprint, high ESD protection level, and low loading capacitance. It is also suitable for protecting video output lines and I/O ports in computers and peripherals and is ideal for a wide range of consumer electronics products. The PACDN006 is available with RoHS compliant lead-free finishing.
