Hello TI and fellow community members,
looking for an ESD protection device with low capacitance I came across parts like the TPD2E009. The datasheet claims compliance with IEC61000-4-2 Level 4. The absolute maximum ratings specify, however, a limit of 8kV for air discharge events. According to IEC Level 4 it should withstand at least 15kV. What is the reason for this discrepancy?
Best regards,
