DESCRIPTION
RailClamp® TVS arrays are ultra low capacitance ESD protection devices designed to protect high speed data interfaces. They are designed to replace 0201 size multilayer varistors (MLVs) in portable applications such as cell phones, notebook computers, and other portable electronics. This device offers desirable characteristics for board level protection including fast response time, low operating and clamping voltage, and no device degradation. The RClamp®0531Z has a typical capacitance of only 0.30pF. This allows it to be used on circuits operating in excess of 5GHz without signal attenuation. The leads are finished with lead-free NiAu. Each device will protect one line operating at 5 volts. It gives the designer the flexibility to protect single lines in applications where arrays are not practical. The combination of small size and high ESD surge capability makes them ideal for use in portable applications such as cellular phones, digital cameras, and RF modules. RClamp05...
