AntennaGuard 0402/0603
AVX Multilayer Ceramic Transient Voltage Suppressors
ESD Protection for Antennas
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
RF antenna/RF amplifier protection against ESD events is a
growing concern of RF circuit designers today, given the
combination of increased signal “gain” demands, coupled
with the required downsizing of the transistor package. The
ability to achieve both objectives is tied to a reduced
thickness of the SiO
2
gate insulator layer within the semi-
conductor. The corresponding result of such a change
increases the transistor’s vulnerability to ESD strikes — a
common event with handheld electronic products with RF
transmitting and/or receiving features.
AVX’s 0402/0603 AntennaGuard products are an ultra-low
capacitance extension of the proven TransGuard TVS (tran-
sient voltage suppression) line of multilayer varistors. RF
designers now have a single chip option over conventional
protection methods (passive filters or diode clamps), which
not only gives superior performance over traditional
schemes, but also provides the added benefits of reduced
PCB real estate and lower installation costs.
AVX’s AntennaGuard products are available in capacitance
ratings of
≤3pF
(0402 & 0603 chips) and
≤12pF
(0603 chip).
These low capacitance values maintain RF signal strength
at acceptable levels, as well as give other TransGuard
advantages such as small size, sub-nanosecond response
time, low leakage currents and unsurpassed reliability (FIT
Rate of 0.2) compared to diodes.

AntennaGuard 0402/0603
AVX Multilayer Ceramic Transient Voltage Suppressors
ESD Protection for Antennas
Antenna Varistors
AVX announces a series of 0402 and 0603 chip varistors,
designated the AntennaGuard series, for RF antenna/RF
amplifier protection. These devices offer ultra-low capaci-
tance (<3pF in 0402 chips, and
≤3pF
&
≤12pF
in 0603
packages), as well as low insertion loss. Antenna varistors
can replace output capacitors and provide ESD suppression
in cell phones, pagers and wireless LANs.
It is very common to employ some form of a FET in many
types of efficient/miniature RF amplifiers. Typically, these RF
transistors have nearly ideal input gate impedance and
outstanding noise figures. However, FETs are very suscepti-
ble to ESD damage due to the very thin layer of SiO
2
uses as
the gate insulator. The ultra-thin SiO
2
layer is required to
improve the gain of the transistor. In other words, the upside
of the performance enhancement becomes the downside of
the transistors survival when subjected to an ESD event.
ESD damage to the RF Field Effect Transistors (FETs) is a
growing concern among RF designers due to the following
trends: (1) RF amplifiers continue to shrink in size, and (2)
FET gains figures continue to increase. Both trends relate to
decreasing gate oxide thickness, which in turn, is directly
proportional to increased ESD sensitivity. As miniaturization
trends accelerate, the traditional methods to protect against
ESD damage (i.e., PC board layout, passive filters, and diode
clamps) are becoming less and less effective.
AVX’s AntennaGuard varistor can be used to protect the FET
and offer superior performance to the previously mentioned
protection methods given above. The standard EIA 0603
chip size, and particularly the 0402 chip, offer designers an
ESD protection solution consistent with today’s downsizing
trend in portable electronic products. Savings in component
volume up to 86%, and PC board footprint savings up to
83% are realistic expectations. These percentages are based
upon the following table and Figures 1A and 1B.

Antenna varistors also turn on and divert ESD overvoltages
at a much faster rate than SOT23 devices (typically 300pS
vs 1500pS - 5000pS). See Figure 3.

The varistor shown exhibits a capacitance of
≤3pF
which
can be used to replace the parallel capacitance typically
found prior to the antenna output of an RF amplifier. In the
off state, the varistor acts as a capacitor and helps to filter
RF output. The varistor is not affected by RF output power
or voltage and has little insertion loss. See Figure 5.

) must be within 0.05 mm (0.002) min. and
0.50 mm (0.020) max. The clearance allowed must also prevent rotation of the component within the cavity of not more than 20 degrees (see sketches C & D).
2. Tape with components shall pass around radius “R” without damage.
3. G

the cavity whichever is less.
4. G
2
dimension is the flat area from the edge of the carrier tape opposite the sprocket holes to either the outward deformation of the carrier tape between the embossed
cavity or to the edge of the cavity whichever is less.
5. The embossment hole location shall be measured from the sprocket hole controlling the location of the embossment. Dimensions of embossment location and hole
location shall be applied independent of each other.
6. B
1
dimension is a reference dimension for tape feeder clearance only.
