A device for protecting I/O lines using low capacitance steering diodes ( 1200 ) and PIN or NIP diodes ( 1202 ), ( 1203 ) is disclosed. A low capacitance diode arrangement configured as steering diodes protect a signal line or input/output (I/O) port ( 1201 ) from high voltage transients by diverting or directing the transient to either the positive side of the power supply line ( 1204 ) or to ground ( 1205 ).
