AVX - Miniature 0201 multilayer varistor capacitance range expands to 150pF

To include new 125pF and 150pF versions, AVX has expanded its miniature TransGuard 0201 Series multilayer varistors (MLVs). The TransGuard 0201 Series now provides the broadest capacitance range of any miniature MLV on the market, ranging from 10pF to 150pF, says the company.

The TransGuard 0201 Series allows designers to clamp transients and filter EMI in one ultra-compact device. Designed for all small handheld devices, the miniature 0201 bi-directional transient voltage suppressor provides minimal signal distortion and low insertion loss. In addition, the 0201 MLV is a cost-effective, one-chip solution that can decrease the chip count on printed circuit boards, reducing the amount of real estate needed.

The TransGuard 0201 MLVs provide multiple strike capability and are able to withstand 1,000 strikes at 8KV of contact. The Transguard Series features a sub 1nS response time to ESD strike. The devices feature a 5.6V rating and have a leakage current of <5uA at rated voltage.

"The 0201 TransGuard Series' 125pF and 150pF values are the highest available in an 0201 case size with the fastest ESD strike response time," said Sonja Brown, global product manager for circuit protection products at AVX. "We have also added benefit of the lowest Vb that, combined with the expanded capacitance values, allows AVX to meet a wider range of filtering specifications."

The Transguard 0201 MLVs are ideal for handheld devices, including cell phones and PDAs, as well as embedded components such as hearing aids and camera modules, says the company.
