The TPD2E007 from Texas Instruments (TI) is an application-specific integrated parts (ASIP) component in a compact PicoStar™ package. This back-to-back diode array allows AC-coupled or negative-going data transmission without compromising signal integrity. It is embedded inside a PCB to conserve space in downsized portable applications. The TPD2E007 exceeds IEC 61000-4-2 (Level 4) for ESD protection and is well suited to providing system level ESD protection for internal ICs when placed near the connector. Other product features include a 15-pF line to GND capacitance and low 50-nA leakage current.Look for more product information on the TI website.
