RCLAMP0542T.TCT

The RClamp0542T TVS diode arrays are 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 RClamp0542T has a typical capacitance of only 0.25pF between I/O pins. This allows it to be used on circuits operating in excess of 3GHz without signal attenuation. These devices are constructed using proprietary RailClamp process technology. This technology yields superior electrical characteristics including reduced leakage current (IR), a key requirement for high-speed interfaces. As such, the RClamp0542T has a maximum IR of only 50nA at 5 volts.The RClamp0542T is in a 6-pin SLP1610P4T package. It measures 1.6 x 1.0 x 0.4mm. 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. They may be used to meet the ESD immunity requirements of IEC 61000-4-2. Each device is designed to protect two lines (one differential pair). The combination of small size, low capacitance, low leakage current, and high level of ESD protection makes them a flexible solution for protection of next generation interfaces including 10Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI 1.4, and USB 3.0.
