Overview
The PACDN006MR is a diode array designed by onsemi to provide six channels of ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protection for electronic components or subsystems. Each channel consists of a pair of diodes that steer an ESD current pulse to either the positive (VP) or negative (VN) supply. This device is particularly well-suited for portable electronics due to its small package footprint, high ESD protection level, and low loading capacitance. It is also suitable for protecting video output lines and I/O ports in computers and peripherals, making it ideal for a wide range of consumer electronics products.
