STMICROELECTRONICS USBLC6-2SC6 ESD Protection Device, 17 V, SOT-23, 6 Pins, USBLC

The USBLC6-2SC6 from STMicroelectronics is a very low capacitance ESD protection device in 6pin SOT-23 package. This monolithic application specific device is dedicated to ESD protection of high speed interfaces such as USB 2.0, Ethernet links and video lines. The very low line capacitance secures a high level of signal integrity without compromising in protecting sensitive chips against most stringently characterized ESD strikes. It also provides optimized data integrity and speed. The USBLC6-2SC6 features enhanced ESD protection (IEC 61000-4-2 level 4 compliance) hence results in greater immunity at system level. It offers fast response time and low leakage current for longer operation of battery powered devices.

• Two data line protection
• Capacitance between I/O and GND is 2.5pF at VR=1.65V
• Very low leakage current of 10nA
• Low PCB space consumption (9mm² for SOT23-6L package)
• ESD protection of VBUS
• High reliability offered by monolithic integration
• Clamping voltage (Vcl) of 17V at IPP=5A and 8/20µs
• Breakdown voltage (Vbr) of 6V between VBUS and GND at IR=1mA
• Peak pulse voltage (Vpp) of 25KV according to MIL STD883G method 3015-7
• Operating junction temperature range from -40°C to 125°C

Applications

Safety, Portable Devices, Medical

A good precaution to take is to put the protection device as close as possible to disturbance source (generally the connector).
