April 17, 2006, Osaka, Japan-Panasonic Electronic Devices Co., Ltd. has succeeded in commercializing the ESD suppressor suitable for measures for suppressing ESD noise in a high-speed signal line including HDMI (High-definition multimedia interface).

Product name

ESD suppressor (1005 size, 1608 size)

Series name

EZAEG series

Production start

May 2006

Sample price

10 yen/piece

Production capacity

10 million pieces/month

As data lines of digital home-appliances or personal-computer peripherals have become faster year after year, measures against ESD noise in high-speed signal lines (GHz-band) including HDMI, USB2.0, IEEE1394 have been more important. Under these conditions, Panasonic Electronic Devices Co., Ltd. has developed the ESD suppressor which realizes the excellent transmission quality with the lowest capacitance value in the industry, contributing to suppressing ESD noise in a high-speed signal line as well as in the antenna circuits of mobile phones.

[Features]
  1. Suitable for ESD noise suppression in a high-speed signal line with the lowest capacitance value in the industry(*1)
    1005 size: 0.05 pF (±0.05 pF)・・・lowest level in the industry(*1)
    1608 size: 0.1 pF (±0.1pF)
  2. Excellent electrostatic-noise suppression effect suitable for the circuit protection
    Peak voltage: less than 500 V(*2)
    Clamp voltage: less than 100 V(*2)
  3. Outstanding static-electricity suppression , realizing the protection function
    Static electricity: 8 kV(*2)
(*1) Our investigation of the components for suppressing ESD noise as of April 17, 2006
(*2) Measured at Level 4 (contact discharge 8 kV) of the international immunity regulation (IEC61000-4-2)

[Applications]

Measures against the static electricity in a variety of interfaces [HDMI (1080p available), Serial ATA, USB2.0, IEEE1394 etc.] and in the antenna circuits of mobile phones
