RailClamp®
Ultra Low Capacitance TVS Arrays
PROTECTION PRODUCTS - RailClamp®
PRELIMINARY
Features
Description
RailClamps® are ultra low capacitance TVS arrays
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).
ESD protection for high-speed data lines to
IEC 61000-4-2 (ESD) ±18kV (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 four I/O lines
Low capacitance: 0.3pF typical (I/O to I/O)
Low clamping voltage
The RClamp®0544T has 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. Each device
is designed to protect four lines (two differential pairs).
Low operating voltage: 5V
Solid-state silicon-avalanche technology
Mechanical Characteristics
The RClamp0544T is in an 8-pin SLP2010P8T package.
It measures 2.0 x 1.0 x 0.4mm. The leads are spaced at
a pitch of 0.4mm 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 combina-
tion of small size, low capacitance, and high level of ESD
protection makes them a flexible solution for applica-
tions such as mini HDMI, MDDI, USB, and eSATA inter-
faces.
