Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO: 6502) has added multi-bit (2-bit and 4-bit) flow-through type ESD (electrostatic discharge) diode products to its low capacitance and low clamp voltage Extreme High Speed series. The new products, DF6D7M1N (2-bit) and DF10G7M1N (4-bit), realize multiple diodes while maintaining the signal quality achieved by the low-inductance flow-through layout. Samples are available now with mass production scheduled for the end of December.
