New Low-Capacitance ESD Protection Array for High Speed Data & Audio Interfaces Released by New Yorker Electronics

New Yorker Electronics releases new Amazing Microelectronic Corp. for Audio Interface, Monitors and Flat Panel Displays with Low Capacitance for Signal Integrity

NORTHVALE, New Jersey, USA – New Yorker Electronics has announced its release of the new Amazing Microelectronic Corp. (AMC) AZ1015-02N Low-Capacitance ESD Protection TVS Array for High-Speed Data Interfaces. The device is used for Audio Interface, Monitor and Flat Panel Display, USB2.0 and SIM Ports. The multifaceted AZ1015-02N maintains low surge clamping voltage for ESD/EOS Protection, low capacitance to keep signal integrity and offers varying integration techniques to reduce cost.

The AMC AZ1015-02N ESD Protection device is a high performance design which includes surge-rated diode arrays to protect high-speed data interfaces. The AZ1015-02N has been specifically designed to protect sensitive components that are connected to data and transmission lines, from over-voltage caused by Electrostatic Discharging (ESD), Electrical Fast Transients (EFT) and lightning.

AZ1015-02N is a unique design which includes surge-rated, low-capacitance steering diodes and unique design of clamping cell which is an equivalent TVS diode in a single package. During transient conditions, the steering diodes direct the transient to either the power supply line or to the ground line. The internal unique design of clamping cell prevents overvoltage on the power line, protecting any downstream components.

This low-capacitance ESD Protection Array is designed to protect two data lines and power rails from transient overvoltage (such as ESD stress pulse). When ESD voltage pulse appears on the data line, the ESD pulse current will be conducted by AZ1015-02N away from the USB controller chip, even when the pulse appears on the VBUS of the USB port. Therefore, the data lines and VBUS of the two ports are completely protected with this device. With regard to audio interference, the ESD pulse current will be discharged, thus completely protecting the right/left channels of the audio chip.

Features & Benefits

  • ESD Protection for 2 high-speed I/O channels
  • 5V Operating Voltage
  • Low Capacitance: 2pF typical
  • Fast turn-on and low clamping voltage
  • Array of surge rated diodes with Internal equivalent TVS diode
  • Solid-state silicon-avalanche and active circuit triggering technology 

Applications

  • Audio Interface
  • USB2.0 Power and Data Line Protection
  • Notebook and PC Computers
  • Monitors and Flat Panel Displays

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
