In recent years, the demand of the market for lightning protection and ESD protection components can be broadly divided into two major development direction.One is the more and more lower equivalent capacitance, which is due to the accelerated development of the transmission of port in recent years, has driven bandwidth biger and faster,For example, the data transmission speed of USB 3 reached 5Gbps, ten times faster than the existing USB 2;Thunderbolt data transmission speed up to 10Gbps, making the client for the ESD electrostatic protection components equivalent capacitance requirements become more stringent.For protection component manufacturers, how to reduce the equivalent capacitance has become the main technology development direction of the product.

Another major trend is small package.The trend of miniaturization of lightning protection and electrostatic protection component of ESD is more and more obvious.In particular, ultra extreme, tablet computers and smart phones and other products to flourish, but also the client needs more and more.Such as SOT-26 needs to slowly go to SOT-363, and even SOT563 and other packaging products.In addition, from the phone customer´s material inventory (BOM) can be seen from the DFN1006 package to the smaller DFN0603 package needs,All these show packaging trends of miniaturization.
