and still maintain a leakage current under 10pA (100x less
than GDT/TVS-based approaches)
Key Advantages
Ease of Design: A single, tiny IC, and two external resistor
pairs per channel are all that is needed
Robust: Leakage current is 100x less than GDT/TVS-based
approaches even after 100,000 5kV pulses
Small: Replaces complicated primary, secondary, and ESD
protection solutions for > 75% space savings; 3mm x 5mm
µMAX® package (0 to 70°C operating temperature range)
Commentary
“Customers need innovative, tightly focused components like
this,” said Andrew Baker, Executive Director for Industrial
and Healthcare at Maxim Integrated. “It completely changes
the component solution to the long-standing challenge of
protecting the medical device against a defibrillation pulse.”
Availability and Pricing
The MAX30034 is priced at $3.40 (1000-up, FOB USA)
An evaluation kit is available for $25: MAX30034EVKIT#

Free hands-on workshops and technical seminars at
Embedded World in Nuremberg, Germany (Hall 4A-138, Feb
23-25 2016) and on YouTube
At Embedded World 2016 in Nuremberg, Germany,
STMicroelectronics will present a broad range of solutions
for embedded designs across the full range of applications,
including industrial, medical, consumer, and automotive.
The comprehensive showcase will include demos, technical
seminars, and hands-on workshops, hosted by experts
who can help attendees release their creativity with ST’s
latest embedded technologies, products, and tools. Videos,
produced during the event, will be available from February
24, 2016 at
ST invites Embedded World 2016 attendees to participate
in on-booth technical conferences or go into more depth
on products and tools during practical workshops running
throughout the exhibition. ST will give away hundreds
of valuable and easy-to-use development boards and
other prizes, including BB-8™ by Sphero, an app-enabled
Droid™ powered by the STM32F3 ARM® Cortex®-M4
microcontroller, during various activities.
Among the demonstrations planned for Embedded World
attendees are:
The newest members of the STM32 ARM Cortex-M MCU
family, including new 14-pin STM32L0 devices, smaller
derivatives of the STM32L4, and extensions of the STM32F4
and STM32F7 series;
A member of the LoRa® Alliance, ST will demonstrate the
LoRa technology1 on STM32 MCUs and distribute LoRa
combo packs (STM32L0 Nucleo + SX1276MB1LAS shield
from Semtech) to interested attendees;
Application solutions around the STM32 including
connectivity, graphics, motor control, ARM mbed™ OS,
Apple HomeKit™, and more;
The STM32 Open Development Environment, which provides
a flexible, easy, and affordable way to develop innovative
devices and applications;
The full NFC portfolio, including tags, dynamic tags, readers,
and transceivers;
A new security module for securing connected devices;
Solutions that include wireless charging, new innovative
sensors, wireless connectivity, MEMS microphones, and
micro-power analog, to complement embedded designs;
Flightsense™ sensor family for ranging, user detection, and
gesture control;
Embedded solutions for automotive applications that include
the first Power Architecture™ MCU with ISO CAN FD
(Flexible Data Rate) and the SPC5Studio microcontroller
development environment demonstrated on the smallest
ASIL-D microcontroller device (SPC57);
Teseo III single-chip standalone positioning ICs capable of
receiving signals from multiple Global Navigation Satellite
Systems.
Embedded World 2016 attendees are welcomed to visit
STMicroelectronics in Hall 4A-138 to release their creativity.
