Description

RailClamp® TVS arrays are ultra low capacitance ESD protection devices designed to protect high speed data interfaces. This series has been specifically designed to protect sensitive components which are connected to high-speed data and transmission lines from overvoltage caused by ESD (electrostatic discharge), CDE (Cable Discharge Events), and EFT (electrical fast transients).

The monolithic design incorporates surge rated, low capacitance steering diodes and a TVS diode in a single package. Each line has a typical capacitance of <0.2pF to ground. The capacitance of each line is well matched for consistant signal balance. A connection to the TVS is provided for protection of external voltage buses, such as those found in USB applications. They may be used to meet the ESD immunity requirements of IEC 61000-4-2, Level 4 (±15kV air, ±8kV contact discharge).

The RClamp®0582N is qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade1 (-40 to +125oC) and is supplied in a 6-pin SLP1210N6 package. It measures 1.2 x 1.0 x 0.58mm.
