ON Semiconductor Expands ESD Protection Portfolio with Award Winning Ultra-Low Capacitance Technology

Thu, 19 Jun 2008 07:00:00 GMT

PHOENIX, Ariz. – June 19, 2008 - ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq: ONNN), a global leader in power management and circuit protection semiconductor solutions, today announced the expansion of its high performance off-chip ESD protection portfolio with the introduction of two best-in-class devices - the ESD7L5.0D and the NUP4212. These new products have been designed using ON Semiconductor’s propriety integrated ESD protection platform, which enhances clamping performance while maintaining low capacitance and small die size.

The ESD7L5.0D protects two high speed data lines at 0.5 pico farad (pF) capacitance per line in the tiny 1.2 mm x 1.2 mm x 0.5 mm SOT-723 package. Integrating ON Semiconductor’s low capacitance technology into a 3-pin package provides the designer with a solution to protect the D+ and D- lines of a USB2.0 port with a single device. The ESD7L5.0D can also be connected cathode to cathode to protect a single bi-directional line at 0.25 pF, ideal for protecting high frequency RF antenna lines.

The NUP4212 protects four high speed data lines at 0.7 pF per line and 2 Vcc power lines in the compact 1.6 mm x 1.6 mm x 0.5 mm UDFN-6 package. This enables the designer to protect the D+ and D- lines plus the Vcc line on two USB ports with a single integrated solution.

Both new devices share key features which distinguish the company’s proprietary technology from competitive offerings. The ESD7L5.0D and NUP4212 are capable of clamping an input ESD waveform of 15 kilovolt (kV) to less than 7 volts (V) in a matter of nanoseconds, ensuring the highest levels of protection for today’s ESD sensitive integrated circuits (IC). Other low capacitance off-chip ESD protection technologies, such as polymer and ceramic-based varistors, offer low capacitance, but their ESD clamping voltage is significantly higher than the ON Semiconductor solution. In addition, the ON Semiconductor silicon devices are free from wearout mechanisms that affect the reliability and performance of passive technologies after multiple surge events such as ESD.

“ON Semiconductor is continuing to expand its leadership in high performance ESD protection solutions with the introduction of ultra low capacitance products targeting high speed data applications,” said Mamoon Rashid, ON Semiconductor vice president and general manager of the company’s Discrete Products Division. “Next generation portable applications require improved performance and increased design flexibility at higher and higher data rates. ON Semiconductor continues to respond to this trend by introducing a complete family of low capacitance ESD protection solutions”.

The first product introduced on this technology platform, the ESD9L5.0S, was awarded Electronic Products magazine’s 2007 “Product of the Year” award for a significant advance in technology, its application and innovation in design.

The ESD7L5.0DT5G is available in a SOT-723 package and is priced at $0.20 USD per unit in 8,000 units quantities. The NUP4212 is available in a UDFN-6 package and is priced at $0.608 USD per unit in 3,000 unit quantities.

Backlog levels at the beginning of the second quarter of 2008 were up from backlog levels at the beginning of the first quarter of 2008 and represent over 85 percent of our anticipated second quarter 2008 revenues. We expect that average selling prices for the second quarter of 2008 will be down approximately two percent sequentially. The following table outlines our second quarter 2008 GAAP and non-GAAP outlook.”

* Special Items can include: stock based compensation expense, restructuring, asset impairments and other, net, expensing of appraised inventory fair market value (FMV) step up, amortization of intangibles and income tax adjustments to approximate cash taxes.
** Fully Diluted Share Count can vary for among other things, the actual exercise of options or restricted stock, the incremental dilutive shares from all of the Company’s convertible senior subordinated notes, and the repurchase or the issuance of stock or the sale of treasury shares. Please refer to the table on our website for potential changes to the Fully Diluted Share Count.
*** Regulation G and other provisions of the securities laws regulate the use of financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide important supplemental information to investors. We use these measures, together with GAAP measures, for internal managerial purposes and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. However, we do not, and you should not, rely on non-GAAP financial measures alone as measures of our performance. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that – when taken together with GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures that we also provide in our news releases – provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures, even if they have similar names. As a result of requests from our investor and research community, we intend to include this non-GAAP table and measures in our earnings releases covering periods through the end of 2008.
