SEMTECH RClAMP0524PATCT

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 RClamp0522PA and RClamp0524PA have a typical capacitance of only 0.30pF between I/O pins. This allows it to be used on circuits operating in excess of 3GHz without signal attenuation. They may be used to meet the ESD immunity requirements of IEC 61000 - 4 - 2. The RClamp0522PA is designed to protect two lines, while the RClamp0524PA will protect four lines.

The RClamp0522PA is in a 6 - pin SLP1610P4 package. It measures 1.6×1.0 with a nominal height of 0.58mm. The RClamp0524PA is in a 10 - pin SLP2510P8 package. It measures 2.5×1.0 with a nominal height of 0.58mm. The leads are spaced at a pitch of 0.5mm and are finished with lead - free NiPdAu. They are designed for easy PCB layout by allowing the traces to run straight through the device. The combination of small size, low capacitance, and high level of ESD protection makes them a flexible solution for applications such as HDMI, DisplayPort, MDDI, and eSATA interfaces.
