® USB6Bx DATA LINES PROTECTION Application Specific Discretes A.S.D. 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 n Full diode bridge with integrated clamping protection n Breakdown voltage : VBR = 6V min. n Peak pulse power dissipation : PPP = 500W (8/20µs) n Very low capacitance, patible 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 USB6Bx protects the two input lines against overvoltage. Besides, this device also keeps the power rails in a safe limit thanks to the integrated Transil diode. BENEFITS n SO8 DIL8 n n n Provides protection for each line and between the supply voltage and GND : 25A , 8/20µs. High ESD protection level : up to level 3 per MIL STD 883C-Method 3015-6 Separated inputs and outputs (so-called 4-point structure) to improve ESD susceptibility. prehensive package pin-out for immediate implementation.

The clamping voltage VCL can be estimated as follow: VCL+ =Vcc + VF for positive surges for negative surges VCL - = - VF with: VF = Vt + rd.Ip (VF forward drop voltage) / (Vt forward drop threshold voltage) Note: the estimations do not take into account phenomena due to parasitic...
