The RCLAMP0502A is a RailClamp? low capacitance TVS Array 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). They are designed for use in applications where board space is at a premium. Each device requires less than 2.9mm2 of PCB area and will protect two high speed data lines. The monolithic design incorporates surge rated and low capacitance steering diodes. Each line has a typical capacitance of 0.9pF to ground and 0.3pF between lines. The capacitance of each line is well matched for consistent signal balance. Signal integrity is further preserved with the flow through design. A connection to the TVS is provided for protection of external voltage busses, such as those found in USB applications.
