It features very low clamping voltage, no device degradation and large cross-sectional area junctions for conducting high transient currents.
While technologies such as polymers, varistors and BAV99s may allow for the successful completion of the HDMI CTS, only a low capacitance and low clamping voltage TVS device provides adequate safeguard against latch-up and EOS/ESD threats," said Rob Frizzell, Director of HDMI Product Marketing at Silicon Image.
The ESD9X series of diodes feature lower clamping voltage and lower leakage than multi-layer varistors of comparable size.
