RIVERSIDE, Calif. – February 13, 2003 – Bourns, Inc., a leading manufacturer of electronic components and integrated solutions is pleased to announce the addition of the ChipGuard® line, a Multilayer Varistor (MLV) family of Electrostatic Sensitive Protection Devices to its circuit protection portfolio. The metal oxide technology of the ChipGuard® products provides high impulse current capability of 20 A at 8/20 µs in the ultra-small 0402 package.
The new ChipGuard® family is specifically designed to address the IEC61000-4.2, 8 kV body and 15 kV air discharge requirements. The CG0402MLA-XX and CG0603MLA-XX series is designed for general protection in IC power supply and signal line and control protection line.
The CG0402MLE-18 and CG0603MLE-18 products are designed to provide suppression and filtering in one device with a maximum capacitance of 50pF and low leakage currents, and are ideally suited for data transmission lines such as LAN, Ethernet, RS232, and RS485 type applications.
The CG0603MLC-XX series is designed for high performance applications requiring low capacitance loading properties. With maximum capacitance of just 0.5pF, the MLC is suited for high-speed USB 2.0 and IEEE1394 type applications.
The ChipGuard® family is available in a variety of voltage options from 5.5 V to18 V d.c. and industry standard 0402 and 0603 type packaging, depending on the family. Pricing at the 10,000-unit level is @body.048 per unit.
