Thanks.
The device your looking at protects the circuit against electrostatic
zaps (for want of a better word). Each zap is seen as a high voltage
pulse, which the device absorbs, preventing damage to the other devices
in the circuit. The ESD Pulse Withstand figure is the number of zaps
that the device can handle before it starts to break down - in the case
of that part, 1000.
Hope that helps
