PowerSilicon, Inc. has recently unveiled its UL054BM10 Ultra-Low Capacitance TVS Array device, designed to meet the protection requirements of High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) and other high-speed data lines from transients caused by Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), Electrical Fast Transients (EFT), and Tertiary Lightning and other induced voltages. 

The UL054BM10 is one of the few TVS arrays currently available in the market that features a typically low capacitance of 0.3pF, is capable of protecting up to four I/O lines, and offers transient voltage protection conforming to IEC61000-4-2 standards of 15kV (air) and 8kV (contact).  It is currently available in MSOP-10 package type, with its ultra-thin design optimized for high-speed lines.

ESD Protection Devices Short Form

The increased popularity and utilization of DVD players, video cameras, game consoles and other appliances also increases the risk of a type of ESD called cable discharge event (CDE), so adequate ESD protection has become imperative for the HDMI systems of these products.  PSI's UL054BM10 is engineered to provide such protection.
