Multilayer Varistors from AVX
AVX Corporation has expanded its AntennaGuard Series of low capacitance multilayer varistors (MLVs) to include a sub 1pf version. Designed to provide a one chip solution for protecting high speed digital interfaces, RF antenna and RF amplifier circuits against ESD events, the application specific, bi-directional transient voltage suppressor provides minimal signal distortion and low insertion loss. The low profile 0402 MLV features a fast response time to ESD and can withstand successive 1k strikes at 8kV (IEC 61000–4-2).
“TThe sub 1pf AntennaGuard is ideal for protecting high-speed data lines including, HDMI, FlexRay, RF circuits, analog sensors, GPS antenna, high speed digital.
