Precision Internal Component Matching
Board designs can take advantage of precision internal
component matching for improved signal integrity, not
otherwise possible with discrete components at the system
level. This simplifies PCB layout considerations and
eliminates associated passive components for load matching
normally required by standard ESD protection circuits.
Each ESD channel consists of a pair of diodes in series
which steer the positive or negative ESD current pulse to
either the Zener diode or to ground. This eliminates the need
for a separate bypass capacitor to absorb positive ESD
strikes. The CM1238 protects against ESD pulses up to
±20kv contact per the IEC 61000-4-2 standard.
