Description

The MAX30034 is a patent-pendingprotection devices intended to (with the help of external,energy-rated resistors) absorb repetitive defibrillation andother high-energy pulses to protect sensitive electroniccircuitry in ECG and other medical/industrial equipment.The devices can withstand over 100,000 defibrillation pulseswithout failure.The devices are intended to replace the gas-dischargetubes and transient absorbers in applications where itssignificant reduction in size is beneficial and its lower, well definedon-voltage can offer higher degrees of protection tosensitive electronics.The devices use a combination of a rugged integrated circuitprocess and high-speed circuitry to ensure veryfast turn-on times with trigger voltages low enough to notrequire secondary clamping circuitry. A low hold currentof approximately 175mA ensures protection is maintainedfor the entire length of the high-energy transient event.The MAX30034 is available in a small, 3mmx 5mm µMAX-8 package and are specified over the 0°Cto +70°C temperature range.ApplicationsAED UnitsClinical Patient MonitoringFixed Broadband Wireless AccessIndustrial Equipment ProtectionWearable Medical
