The SP3400 integrates 2 channels of low capacitance steering diodes and an additional zener diode to provide protection for electronic equipment that may experience destructive electrostatic discharges (ESD). The SP3400 can safely absorb repetitive ESD strikes above the maximum contact level specified in IEC 61000-4-2 international standard (±8kV contact discharge) without performance degradation. The low off-state capacitance makes it ideal for protecting high-speed signal lines such as USB2.0 and 1Gb Ethernet with an extremely low dynamic resistance to protect the most sensitive, state of the art chipsets against ESD transients.
