TUCSON, Arizona, September 8 /PRNewswire/ --
- PicoGuard XP(TM) and PicoGuard XS(TM) Products for High Speed Serial Interfaces to be Highlighted
California Micro Devices (Nasdaq: CAMD) will be showcasing its XtremeESD low capacitance electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection solutions at the 30th Annual EOS/ESD Symposium organized by the ESD Association (ESDA) in Tucson, Arizona, from September 7 through 10, 2008. Founded in 1982, the ESD Association is a professional voluntary association dedicated to advancing the theory and practice of electrostatic discharge avoidance. California Micro Devices will present its ESD protection solutions, and plans to participate in the Association's numerous activities and committees to further the development of worldwide ESD standards.
The XtremeESD Protection Family: Superior Protection and Outstanding Signal Integrity
CMD's PicoGuard XP and PicoGuard XS new ESD protection architectures are a game-changing solution for designers seeking to solve critical ESD protection and signal integrity concerns for advanced high speed data interfaces. PicoGuard XP provides extreme protection for sensitive high speed ICs, such as USB, where traditional single clamp architectures are not effective. The new PicoGuard XP architecture significantly reduces the clamping voltage and the amount of residual current that passes through to the protected system ICs, and as result, performs significantly better than the best ESD diode arrays on the market when protecting today's most sensitive system ICs. PicoGuard XP devices are ideal for protecting ESD sensitive high speed data ports.
PicoGuard XS provides ESD protection for extreme high speed data interfaces where designers require robust ESD protection and no-compromise signal integrity performance. By integrating diodes with inductors to enable high frequency ESD protection and providing matching impedance without requiring external compensation, PicoGuard XS eliminates design and layout concerns, enables optimal signal integrity, improves ESD performance, and is an ideal solution for ports such as HDMI(TM) 1.3 and DisplayPort(TM).
