Making life with mobile devices more enjoyable Thin-Film Common Mode Filters with Built-in ESD Protection TCE1210 Series EMC Solutions for High-Speed Interfaces As the semiconductor process geometries shrink (to ultra-fine pitch) for integrated chips and the like, mobile devices are becoming vulnerable to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Furthermore, the interface cable used to connect a mobile device to a computer or other digital device is a source of radiation noise. As mobile devices begin to operate at higher speeds and in higher frequencies, common- mode noise suppression will take on even greater importance. TDKs thin-film common mode filters are smaller and thinner than ever before, made possible by the use of leading thin-film process technologies. These filters won the 2008 CHO MONODZUKURI Innovative Parts and Components Award given by the Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun in the category of electric and electronic components. Products in the TCE series are thin-film common mode filters that have built-in ESD protection; they are a component that suppresses common mode noise and protects vital components from electrostatic discharge. These are a new product that reduces the number of components needed and shrinks the mounting area, while contributing to functional enhancements in mobile devices. 01 Thin-Film Common Mode Filters with Built-in ESD Protection High-Speed Interfaces Are Making Life with Mobile Devices Easier □Acceleration in Digital Interfaces PCI Express Digital interfaces have gotten dramatic
