Semtech uClamp0506A

μClamp® 5-Line ESD protection Array

The μClampTM series of TVS arrays are designed to protect sensitive electronics from damage or latch-up due to ESD. They are designed for use in applications where board space is at a premium. Each device requires less than 2.9mm2 of PCB area and will protect up to five lines. They are bidirectional devices and may be used on lines where the signal polarities swing above and below ground.
