The SM712 is an ESD protection device from SLKORMICRO, which comes in a SOT-23 package. It is compliant with the ROHS regulations, and provides a protection of up to 8kV ESD surge on the signal lines. The device consists of an N-channel MOSFET that is connected in a diode-clamped configuration and offers a fast response time, low on-resistance, and low capacitance. It also has a low-voltage protection feature which prevents the device from failing when the input voltage is lower than the breakdown voltage. The SM712 is suitable for a wide range of applications, such as mobile phones, MP3 players, game consoles, and computers.
