Semtech Ships 20 Billionth Protection Device for Mobile Applications

News

Sematech group, supplier of analog and mixed-signal semiconductors, today announced the shipment of its 20 billionth Z-Pak, a significant milestone for its Protection Products Group, which provides a range of high-performance transient voltage protection devices for some of the most innovative, next-generation electronics available.

Semtech's Z-Pak is a leading solution for transient voltage suppression (TVS) protection in portable and consumer electronics. This high-performance protection device is housed in an ultra-small 0201 (0603 metric) package, making it versatile for safeguarding portable and consumer electronics from dangerous electrostatic discharge (ESD) and transient voltage threats. The combination of industry-leading ESD protection technology in an ultra-small footprint provides designers the flexibility of implementing leading-edge transient voltage protection without sacrificing board space. Exceeding the industry ESD standard test (IEC61000-4-2 level 4) for both air and contact ESD discharges, the device consumes a fraction of the board space required by TVS components with similar protection performance.

"For almost three decades, design engineers have relied upon
Semtech's leading protection technologies and highly-differentiated silicon to provide off-chip protection from ESD threats in their innovative, next-generation electronics," said Mark Costello, Vice President and General Manager of Semtech's Protection Products Group. "This noteworthy milestone is a testament to the outstanding product quality and ingenuity our team has consistently produced over the years and why we believe our Z-Pak platform is a key component for next-generation mobile devices."
