Smallest EMI Filter Arrays with ESD Protection for
Wireless Handset Applications
High Performance EMI Filtering with ESD Protection in 0.4mm Pitch Chip Scale Packages


Product Overview
CMD introduces the new CM1440, CM1441 and CM1442, a new family of pi-style filter arrays featuring excellent EMI filtering with integrated ESD protection. These devices are available in 15 and 20 bump, 0.4mm pitch Chip Scale Packages (CSP) offering high quality filter performance in the smallest available footprint in the market. These devices are ideal for filtering data and control lines on I/O ports, LCD displays and camera interfaces in mobile handsets.

Product Features

The CM1440/41/42 family features either four, six or eight channels of EMI filtering, all with integrated ESD protection on each filter.

The CM1440 comprises 6 channels of EMI filtering utilizing C-R-C filters configuration of 30pF-100Ω-30pF, providing greater than -35dB attenuation at 1 GHz and a cut-off frequency of 60MHz.

The CM1441 offers a configuration of 4 channels of EMI filtering and 4 channels of ESD-only protection. The C-R-C filter components consist of 30pF-100Ω-30pF, providing greater than -35dB attenuation at 1 GHz and a cutoff frequency of 60MHz.

Typical Insertion Loss Curve (CM1440 Channel)

The CM1442 is offered in 6 and 8 channels of EMI filtering and utilizes C-R-C filter values of 15pF-100Ω-15pF, providing greater than -30dB attenuation at 1 GHz. The CM1442 features a cutoff frequency of 120MHz.

The CM1440/41/42 feature integrated ESD protection with up to ±15kV contact protection on each channel, well beyond the IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 specification of ±8kV. These devices are also rated for contact discharges of greater than ±30kV per the MIL-STD-883 (Method 3015) specification for Human Body Model (HBM) ESD.

The CM1440/41/42 are available in CMD's 0.4mm pitch Chip Scale Package, a space-saving, low-profile package ideal for space critical, high performance applications.

CM1442-08 15pF-100Ohms-15pF 8 EMI/ESD -33dB -32dB 120MHz

These new products are ideal for filtering display and camera modules interfaces operating at up to 25MHz. The six channel configuration fits within 2.36mm x 1.06mm and the eight channel version within 3.16mm x 1.06mm.

In addition to filtering, these products also have ESD protection up to ±15kV contact discharge per IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 specification. CMD can apply its proprietary OptiGuard™ technology to all of its CSP products to increase the robustness and durability during placement on PCBs in the manufacturing process. These products are available lead-free.
