General Description
The UM50125/50129 ESD protection diode is designed to replace multilayer varistors (MLVs) in
portable instrumentation, notebook computers, digital power meter, digital camera and
communication systems. They feature large cross-sectional area junctions for conducting high
transient currents, offer desirable electrical characteristics for board level protection, such as fast
response time, lower operating voltage, lower clamping voltage and no device degradation when
compared to MLVs. The UM50125/50129 ESD protection diode protects sensitive semiconductor
components from damage or upset due to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and other voltage induced
transient events. The UM50125 is available in SOD523 package and the UM50129 is available in
DFN2/FBP2 1.0×0.6 (compatible with SOD923 & SOD882) package, both with working
voltages of 12 volt. It gives designer the flexibility to protect one unidirectional line in
applications where arrays are not practical. Additionally, it may be “sprinkled” around the board
in applications where board space is at a premium. It may be used to meet the ESD immunity
requirements of IEC 61000-4-2, ±30kV air, ±30kV contact discharge.

Applications Information
Device Connection Options
UM50125/50129 ESD protection diode is designed to protect one data, I/O, or power supply line.
The device is unidirectional and may be used on lines where the signal polarity is above ground.
The cathode dot should be placed towards the line that is to be protected.
Circuit Board Layout Recommendations for Suppression of ESD
Good circuit board layout is critical for the suppression of ESD induced transients. The following
guidelines are recommended:
1. Place the TVS near the input terminals or connectors to restrict transient coupling.
2. Minimize the path length between the TVS and the protected line.
3. Minimize all conductive loops including power and ground loops.
4. The ESD transient return path to ground should be kept as short as possible.
5. Never run critical signals near board edges.
6. Use ground planes whenever possible. For multilayer printed-circuit boards, use ground
vias.
7. Keep parallel signal paths to a minimum.
8. Avoid running protection conductors in parallel with unprotected conductor.
9. Minimize all printed-circuit board conductive loops including power and ground loops.
10. Avoid using shared transient return paths to a common ground point.
