Ultra Low Capacitance TVS Arrays
PRELIMINARY
PROTECTION PRODUCTS - RailClamp®
Features
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 overvolt-
age caused by ESD (electrostatic discharge), CDE
(Cable Discharge Events), and EFT (electrical fast
transients).
ESD protection for high-speed data lines to
IEC 61000-4-2 (ESD) ±17kV (air), ±12kV (contact)
IEC 61000-4-5 (Lightning) 5A (8/20μs)
IEC 61000-4-4 (EFT) 40A (5/50ns)
Package design optimized for high speed lines
Flow-Through design
Protects two or four I/O lines
Low capacitance: 0.3pF typical (I/O to I/O)
Low clamping voltage
The RClamp®0522PA and RClamp®0524PA 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.
Low operating voltage: 5V
Solid-state silicon-avalanche technology
Mechanical Characteristics
SLP1610P4 6-pin package (1.6 x 1.0 x 0.58mm)
SLP2510P8 10-pin package (2.5 x 1.0 x 0.58mm)
Pb-Free, Halogen Free, RoHS/WEEE Compliant
Lead Pitch: 0.5mm
Lead finish: NiPdAu
Marking: Marking Code
The RClamp0522PA is in a 6-pin SLP1610P4 package.
It measures 1.6 x 1.0 with a nominal height of 0.58mm.
The RClamp0524PA is in a 10-pin SLP2510P8 package.
It measures 2.5 x 1.0 with a nominal height of 0.58mm.
The leads are spaced at a pitch of 0.5mm and are fin-
ished 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 capaci-
tance, and high level of ESD protection makes them a
flexible solution for applications such as HDMI,
DisplayPortTM, MDDI, and eSATA interfaces.
Packaging: Tape and Reel
Applications
High Definition Multi-Media Interface (HDMI)
Digital Visual Interface (DVI)
DisplayPortTM Interface
MDDI Ports
PCI Express
eSATA Interfaces
