Semtech LC04-6

Dual Low-Capacitance TVS Array for Telecom Linecard Applications

The LC04-6 has been specifically designed to protect sensitive components which are connected to high-speed telecommunications lines from over voltages caused by lightning, electrostatic discharge (ESD), cable discharge events (CDE), and electrical fast transients (EFT).
