PESD24VS4UD,115 datasheet by NXP Semiconductors

PESD24VS4UD,115 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum surge current that PESD24VS4UD,115 can handle?
  The maximum surge current that PESD24VS4UD,115 can handle is 24A, as specified in the datasheet. However, it's essential to note that the device can handle higher surge currents for shorter durations, but the maximum rating should not be exceeded to ensure reliable operation.
• How does the PESD24VS4UD,115 protect against electrostatic discharge (ESD)?
  The PESD24VS4UD,115 protects against ESD using a combination of diodes and resistors that divert the ESD pulse away from the protected circuit. The device can withstand ESD pulses up to ±24kV according to the IEC 61000-4-2 standard.
• What is the response time of the PESD24VS4UD,115 to an ESD event?
  The response time of the PESD24VS4UD,115 to an ESD event is typically in the range of 1-2 nanoseconds. This fast response time helps to minimize the impact of the ESD event on the protected circuit.
• Can the PESD24VS4UD,115 be used for overvoltage protection?
  While the PESD24VS4UD,115 is primarily designed for ESD protection, it can also provide some level of overvoltage protection. However, it's essential to note that the device is not designed to handle sustained overvoltages and may not provide adequate protection in such cases.
• How does the PESD24VS4UD,115 affect the signal integrity of the protected circuit?
  The PESD24VS4UD,115 is designed to have a minimal impact on the signal integrity of the protected circuit. The device has a low capacitance of 0.5pF, which helps to minimize signal distortion and attenuation.
