MLVs And Diodes Now Available 0201 Packages

According to the company, it is the first manufacturer of ESD-protection components to offer low-capacitance CeraDiodes and multilayer varistors in a 0201 package. Versions with capacitances of 22 pF feature low clamping voltages and are suitable for protecting LED background lighting. Types with capacitances up to 10 pF are available for protecting USB and Ethernet systems. Addressing the need to minimize parasitic capacitances, particularly in RF applications, the company is developing a special antenna varistor with a capacitance of less than 1 pF.
