Zener diodes fabricated in a proprietary silicon avalanche technology protect each I/O pin to provide a high level of protection for electronic equipment that may experience destructive electrostatic discharges (ESD).These robust diodes can safely absorb repetitive ESD strikes at ±30kV (contact discharge, IEC 61000-4-2) without performance degradation.Additionally, each diode can safely dissipate 5A of 8/20µs surge current (IEC61000-4-5) with very low clamping voltages.
