RClamp7512N
Low Capacitance TVS for
LVDS Interfaces
PROTECTION PRODUCTS - RailClamp®
Features
Description
RailClamp® TVS diode arrays are specifically designed
to protect sensitive components which are connected
to high-speed data and transmission lines from over-
voltage caused by ESD (electrostatic discharge), CDE
(Cable Discharge Events), and EFT (electrical fast
transients).
Transient protection for high-speed data lines to
IEC 61000-4-2 (ESD) ±30kV (air), ±25kV (contact)
IEC 61000-4-4 (EFT) 40A (5/50ns)
IEC 61000-4-5 (Lightning) 15A (8/20s)
Array of surge rated diodes with internal TVS Diode
Flow-Through routing optimized for 2-layer pcb
Small package saves board space
The unique design incorporates surge rated, low
capacitance steering diodes and a TVS diode in a
single package. During transient conditions, the
steering diodes direct the transient current through the
internal TVS diodes safely to to ground.
The RClamp®7512N is constructed using Semtech’s
proprietary EPD process technology. The EPD process
provides low operating voltage (2.5V) with significant
reductions in leakage current and capacitance over
silicon-avalanche diode processes. It features high
surge (Ipp=15A, tp=8/20s) and ESD (+/-25kV per IEC
61000-4-2) capability with low clamping voltage.
Protects up to twelve I/O lines
Low capacitance (<5pF) for high-speed interfaces
Low leakage current and clamping voltage
Low operating voltage: 2.5V
Solid-state silicon-avalanche technology
Mechanical Characteristics
SLP3525N12 package
Pb-Free, Halogen Free, RoHS/WEEE Compliant
Nominal Dimensions: 3.5 x 2.5 x 0.60mm
Lead Finish: NiPdAu
The RClamp7512N is in a SLP3525N12 package. It
measures 3.5 x 2.5 x 0.60mm. The leads are finished
with lead-free NiPdAu. The flow through design is
optimized for use on 2-layer pc boards. Each device
will protect up to twelve high-speed lines. The combi-
nation of small size, low capacitance, and high ESD
and surge capability makes them ideal for use in
applications such as next generation color LCD displays
and LVDS interfaces.
Molding compound flammability rating: UL 94V-0
Marking : Marking code + Date code
Packaging : Tape and Reel
