USB6B1
Data line protection
Applications
Where transient overvoltage protection in sensitive equipment is required, such as: ■ Universal Serial Bus ports ■ RS-423 interfaces ■ RS-485 interfaces ■ ISDN equipment ■ T1/E1 line cards ■ HDSL / ASDL interfaces
Features
■ Full diode bridge with integrated clamping protection
■ Breakdown voltage: VBR = 6 V min. ■ Peak pulse power dissipation: PPP = 500 W
(8/20 µs) ■ Very low capacitance, compatible with high
debit data or signal rates.
Description
In order to prevent fast transients from leading to severe damages in a high speed data system, a specific protection has been developed by STMicroelectronics.
The USB6B1 protects the two input lines against overvoltage.
