SN74AHC541: ESD Rating

Part Number: SN74AHC541

Tool/software:

HI, Staff

The CDM ESD Ratings for SN74AHC541 (SCLS261Q= Rev.Q) is 1000V lower than the Rev.P specifications.
The Rev.P datasheet said +2000V.

Q1. What is the reason for the CDM value dropping by 1000V?
Q2. Does this mean that people are now more strict when it comes to handling devices?

  • Hi Cafain,

    This is because there was an error in the revision P where the numbers for HBM and CDM were flipped. Revision Q fixed this, and made sure the numbers were in the correct spot on the datasheet.

    No changes to the device were made  between revision P and Q.

    Regards,
