THS6204

The THS6204 is built using a very high-speed

complementary bipolar process. The internal junction

breakdown voltages are relatively low for these very

small geometry devices and are reflected in the

absolute maximum ratings table. All device pins have

limited ESD protection using internal diodes to the

power supplies, as shown in Figure 90.

These diodes provide moderate protection to input

Where

higher

currents

are

possible (for example, in systems with ±15V supply

parts driving into the THS6204), current-limiting

series resistors should be added into the two inputs.

Keep these resistor values as low as possible, since

high values degrade both noise performance and

frequency response.
