3 Description

The TPD6E004 device is a low-capacitance, ±15-

kV ESD protection diode array designed to protect

sensitive electronics attached to communication lines.

Each channel consists of a pair of diodes that steers

ESD current pulses to VCC or GND. The TPD6E004

protects against ESD pulses up to

±15-kV human-body model (HBM), ±8-kV contact

ESD, and ±12-kV air-gap ESD as specified in

IEC 61000-4-2. This device has a typical 1.6-pF

capacitance per channel, making it an excellent

choice for use in high-speed data I/O interfaces.

The TPD6E004 device is available in the RSE

package and is specified for –40°C to +85°C

operation.

The TPD6E004 device is a 6-channel ESD

structure designed for USB, Ethernet, and FireWire

applications.
