The ChipGuard
®
MLC Series has been specifi cally designed to protect sensitive
electronic components from electrostatic discharge damage. The MLC family has been
designed to protect equipment to IEC61000-4-2, Level 4 (±8 kV Contact / ±15 kV Air
Discharge) ESD specifi cations targeted for high speed USB 3.0/USB OTG, HDMI 1.4,
DVI or IEEE1394 applications.
The ChipGuard
®
MLC Series has been manufactured to provide low 0.5 pF capacitance
and leakage currents less than 50 nA with excellent clamp qualities, making the family
almost transparent under normal working conditions.

Notes: 1. Per IEC 61000-4-2, Level 4 8 kV Contact Discharge. Measurement 30 ns after initiation of pulse.
2. Per IEC 61000-4-2, Level 4 8 kV Contact Discharge. Measurement at maximum pulse voltage.
3. IEC 61000-4-2 ESD Performance for CG0603MLC-05E and CG0603MLC-12E devices will meet minimum 100 reps.
Some shifting in characteristics may occur when tested over several hundred ESD pulses. All other part numbers listed will meet
IEC 61000-4-2 ESD Performance with minimum 1000 reps without degradation in performance.
