Miniature 0201 MLV
AVX Multilayer Ceramic Transient Voltage Suppressors
ESD Protection for any Circuit with Board Space Constraints
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AVX 0201 Multi-Layer Varistors are designed for circuits where
board space is a premium. 0201 MLV offer bi-directional ESD pro-
tection in the smallest package available today. The added advan-
tage is EMI/RFI attenuation. 0201 MLV can replace 2 diodes and
the EMC capacitor for a one chip solution.
The miniature size and one chip solution team to offer designers the
best in ESD protection and EMI filtering in one ultra compact device.
FEATURES
• Capacitance 15pF to 150pF
• Low VBVersion
• Bi-Directional protection
• Fastest response time to ESD strikes
• Multi-strike capability
• Ultra compact 0201 case size
