CM1230 is the newest solution in the family of PicoGuard ultra low capacitance diode arrays for electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection of high-speed serial interfaces. With a space efficient CSP and an ultra low input capacitance of 0.8 pF per channel, is said to be the industry’s smallest form factor low capacitance ESD diode solution.
Data interfaces such as high-speed serial data interfaces for mobile handset displays as well as USB 2.0 and Serial ATA interfaces found in many digital consumer and computing applications require robust ESD protection for high value SOCs with low levels of capacitance and inductance to preserve signal integrity. Providing protection against ESD strikes up to ±8kV contact and ±15kV air discharge, the CM1230 meets the performance requirements of these applications.

A Mobile Device Rework (MDR) package with integrated solder paste dispenser has been developed to rework mobile phones, PDAs, gaming handhelds, multimedia portables, Bluetooth and WLAN equipment, memory cards, notebooks and portable medical equipment. The new package will be on display at booth 8715 at SEMICON West
The fully integrated rework system can dispense solder paste dots small enough for 0201 rework. Can also dispense additional materials including epoxy and underfill.
Equipped with a motorized placement module, WinCOMISS software controls bond force during placement and soldering.
Provides rework capability for the smallest of devices up to RF shield cans, and for the challenge of extremely high-density packages. The “cycle” includes device removal, residual solder clean-up, fresh paste dispense and component replacement. A fully automated version (Auto-MDR) is also available.
