KYOCERA AVX MultiGuard Multilayer Ceramic Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) Arrays provide ESD protection for CMOS and bipolar systems. The MultiGuard series provides a fast turn-on-time (<1nS), repetitive strike capability, and up to 75% PCB space savings over the equivalent number of discrete chips. Offered with standard working voltages of 5.6V up to 18V with low capacitance in three case sizes, KYOCERA AVX MultiGuard arrays provide the user with a broad range of integrated TVS options. The arrays are ideally suited for ESD protection of I/O lines in portable equipment and programming ports in cellular phones. Other applications include differential data line protection, ASIC protection, and LCD driver protection for portable computing devices.
