RClamp2504N & RClamp3304N
PROTECTION PRODUCTS - RailClamp
Description
A RailClamp
is a low capacitance TVS array designed
to protect high speed data interfaces. This series has
been specifically designed to protect sensitive compo-
nents which are connected to data and transmission
lines from overvoltage caused by
ESD
(electrostatic
discharge),
CDE
(Cable Discharge Events), and
Light-
ning.
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 to ground.
The internal TVS diode clamps the transient voltage to
a safe level. The low capacitance array configuration
allows the user to protect up to four high-speed data
lines.
The RClamp
TM
3304N and RClamp
TM
2504N are con-
structed using Semtech’s proprietary EPD process
technology. The EPD process provides low stand-off
voltages with significant reductions in leakage current
and capacitance over silicon-avalanche diode pro-
cesses. They feature a true operating voltage of 2.5
volts and 3.3 volts for superior protection.
These devices are in a 10-pin, RoHS/WEEE compliant,
SLP2626P10 package. It measures 2.6 x 2.6 x
0.60mm. The leads are spaced at a pitch of 0.5mm
and are finished with lead-free NiPdAu. The high surge
capability (Ipp=25A, tp=8/20µs) means it can be used
in high threat environments in applications such as
Gigabit Ethernet, telecommunication lines, and digital
video.
