Re: Could you help me interpret a product requirement?


That is an odd requirement, since products do not generate ESD, this sounds like they do not protect so need to be connected to a product that protects. Sounds like a CYA exercise in case they fail.


You can roll your own with two modest voltage zener diodes in series, across the I/O to ground. While I would be more careful about static while handling the product before it is installed than worry about it getting hit by lightning after.
