Vishay's new 4-line bus port protection array with low capacitance

Vishay Intertechnology released a compact new 4-line ESD bus-port protection array VBUS054CV-HS3. It is designed to provide a low capacitance with a high surge current for the protection of dual high-speed USB ports, or up to four other high-frequency signal lines, against transient voltage signals.

Targeted applications are portable electronics, including portable and handheld computing, communications, industrial, and medical systems.

Other features of the device are,

1. Low load capacitance of 1.2 pF
2. Low maximum leakage current of < 0.1 µA at the working voltage of 5 V.
3. Breakthrough voltage of 7 V (at 1 mA),
4. Maximum clamping voltage of 22 V at 13 A.

The bus port protection array provides transient protection for four data lines as per IEC 61000 4 2 (ESD) at 30 kV (air and contact discharge) and IEC 61000 4 5 (lightning) from 11 A. It is also compliant with RoHS 2002/95/EC and WEEE 2002/96/EC.

Package: LLP75 package
