Brief Description

The KTA1552 is a four channel, highly integrated CMOS

solution for Common Mode (CM) noise suppression &

transient voltage protection in Ethernet applications.

The KTA1552 EMI/ESD Suppressor has been architected

and designed to provide system level ESD protection and

EMI suppression in Ethernet products, enabling an easier

path to system EMC compliance.

The KTA1552 utilizes Kinetic Technologies’ patented

Active Choke technology which offers superior Common

Mode reduction and immunity compared to passive filtering

techniques in Ethernet applications. The adaptive and

continuous suppression operates over the entire Ethernet

signal bandwidth, and it compensates for many variables

that are the source of common mode noise in Ethernet

systems. It also improves the differential-to-common mode

balance of the system. This enables system designers to

meet EMI emissions and EMI immunity requirements from

the start of the design.

In addition, the KTA1552 includes highly robust ESD/Surge

protection diodes to protect the Ethernet PHY from various

transient overvoltage events. These are built using

Kinetics' proprietary design and layout techniques to safely

deal with very high current densities in a CMOS process

without creating voltage and/or thermal overstress that

causes damage to the device.

The KTA1552 supports four twisted pair interfaces for 1000

applications. The KTA1552 is available in a small footprint

36-pin DFN 9mm x 4mm Reduction of Hazardous

Substance (RoHS) compliant package.
