MAX6339OUT+T

The MAX6339OUT+T is an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection component specifically designed for protecting low-voltage integrated circuit (IC) pins and chip-on-board (COB) packages from ESD events. This protection mechanism helps to protect circuits and devices from ESD-caused damage and malfunction. This device is part of the MAXIM Supervisors portfolio and falls into the Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) - Supervisors category.

The MAX6339OUT+T possesses a key feature - its low capacitance of 8pf down to 4pf over a range of 4.5V to 5.5V for typical ESD pulse. This low capacitance means that it does not appear to affect the integrity of a signal that is going through it. Because it is able to straighten out high-speed signals, it is used in high-speed broadband applications, such as USB, IEEE1394, and Ethernet, as well as in power management ICs (PMICs) and systems with logic level control.

The main features of the MAX6339OUT+T include:

• ESD protection up to 14KV (Human Body Model - HBM).
• ESD protection up to 4.5V to 5.5V.
• Very low capacitance of 8pf down to 4pf over a range of 4.5V to 5.5V for typical ESD pulse.
• Surge protection capability up to 500A (8/20µs).
• High speed signal straightening capability.
• Small 0.3mm x 0.5mm footprint.

The MAX6339OUT+T is typically used in the following top three application fields:

• High-speed broadband applicatios - USB, IEEE1394, Ethernet.
• Power management ICs (PMICs) and systems with logic level control.
• Electrostatic discharge protection on board packages.

The working principle of the MAX6339OUT+T is based on the fact that when a signal is sent through an electrostatic discharge protection device, the device accumulates the signal and discharges it when it reaches a certain level. This essentially protects the device from any surge in the voltage of the signal. The MAX6339OUT+T works in such a way that it accumulates the signal and then discharges the accumulated signal when it reaches a certain level, protecting it from surges. It is this process of accumulation and discharge that makes the device highly efficient in protecting circuits and devices from ESD-caused damage and malfunction.

In conclusion, the MAX6339OUT+T is a versatile ESD protection device, with features such as a low capacitance to aid in high speed signal transfer, and protection capabilities up to 14KV. It is part of the MAXIM Supervisors portfolio and can be used in multiple applications, such as high-speed broadband applications, PMICs and systems with logic level control, and board packages. Its working principle is based on the process of accumulating and discharging signals in order to protect the device from ESD-related damage or malfunction.
