Toshiba Electronics Components and Memory announced the launch of the "DF2B6M4BSL", an ultra-low capacitance TVS diode for high frequency antennas. The diode can protect semiconductors and other electronic components from static electricity and noise, while suppressing signal deterioration

     High frequency antennas used in wireless communications such as Wi Fi need to protect their internal electronic components by suppressing high harmonic distortion. The total capacitance of DF2B6M4BSL is only 0.15pF (maximum value), which is the minimum capacitance that Toshiba can provide at present. It is about 25% lower than the DF2B6M4ASL of Toshiba's existing product. The new TVS diode suppresses high harmonic distortion by virtue of its ultra-low capacitance, while reducing static electricity and noise that affect the components.

     The high-frequency antenna sometimes uses ESD suppressor, which can be replaced by DF2B6M4BSL. TVS diode has higher protection performance than ESD suppressor and can reduce static voltage. In addition to enhancing the reliability of high-frequency antennas, DF2B6M4BSL is also applicable to ESD protection of signal lines.
