Drawings Section ORDERING INFORMATION DS9503P 6-lead TSOC package DESCRIPTION This DS9503 is designed as an ESD protection device for 1–Wire MicroLAN interfaces. In contrast to the DS9502, the DS9503 includes two 5Ω isolation resistors on chip. Although 5Ω are negligible during communication, they represent a high impedance relative to the conducting diode during an ESD event. Thus, the diode absorbs the energy while the resistors further isolate and protect the circuit at the other side of the package. If used with circuits that already have a strong ESD–protection at their I/O port, the ESD protection level is raised to more that 27 kV (IEC 801–2 Reference model). In case of abnormal ESD hits beyond its maximum ratings the DS9503 will eventually fail “short” thus preventing further damage. During normal operation the DS9503 behaves like a regular 7.5V Zener Diode. When the voltage exceeds the trigger volt...
