What is the ESD rating of the BU-61582 SP’ACE?
A. The ESD rating of the BU-61582’s digital I/O signals is Class 1. That is, it is between 0 and 1500 volts. The MIL-STD-1553 analog transceiver signals (TX/RX-A, TX/RX-A*, TX/RX-B, and TX/RX-B*) provide an ESD immunity level of 7,000 volts with no protection. This value may be increased by means of external circuitry, involving the use full-wave diode bridges, and either Zener diodes or transorbs.
