4.8 Electrical Characteristics

The electrical characteristics section of the data sheet is arguably the most important. This section discusses in detail the specific ESD protection device parameters which must be understood thoroughly for choosing the most applicable protection device. Table 4-9 is an electrical characteristics table from an ESD protection device data sheet with parameters typically seen across all ESD device data sheets.
