Semtech Corp.’s RClamp 0554S device is a 5V working voltage, ultra-low clamping voltage protection array built on Semtech’s process technology. As higher surge immunity standards are being required by many global telecommunication carriers, the RClamp 0554S device is poised to address a growing need for elevated surge protection. This device safeguards high-speed USB and Ethernet data interfaces, offering protection against electrostatic discharge, cable discharge and lightning surge transients.The four-line protection array features an exceptionally low clamping voltage profile and a line-to-line capacitance of less than 4pF. The part’s robust (25A, tp=8/20μs) surge rating for secondary lightning protection meets the industry’s stringent telecommunications surge requirements, making it ideal for safeguarding communications transceivers within the telecom infrastructure.Learn more from Semtech Corp.
