Multilayer Ceramic Transient Voltage Suppressors
VC0201 Series
AVX 0201 Multi-Layer Varistors are
designed for circuits where board space
is a premium. 0201 MLV offer bidirectional
ESD protection in the smallest package
available today. The added advantage
is EMI/ RFI attenuation. 0201 MLV can
replace 2 diodes and the EMC capacitor
for a one chip solution.
Features
• High reliability
• Low capacitance (15pF, 33pF)
• Bi-directional protection
• Fastest response time to ESD strickes
• Multi-strile capability
• Ultra compact 0201 case size (JIS:0603)
Applications
• Cell phone
• Camera module
•
Embedded components
• Any circuit with space constraints
