STMicroelectronics DVIULC6-2M6: High-Speed Interface Protection

The DVIULC6-2M6 from STMicroelectronics is a robust transient voltage suppressor designed to protect high-speed data lines from electrostatic discharge (ESD), electrical fast transients (EFT), and other voltage-induced transient phenomena. This device is a dual-line TVS diode array, offering a compact and efficient solution for safeguarding sensitive components in electronic equipment.

Key Features

• Low Clamping Voltage: The DVIULC6-2M6 provides a low clamping voltage to ensure the protection of sensitive circuits against transient voltages without compromising signal integrity.
• High ESD Protection: It is capable of withstanding ESD discharges up to 15 kV (air discharge) and 8 kV (contact discharge), in accordance with the IEC 61000-4-2 standard, ensuring a high level of protection for your electronic devices.
• Low Capacitance: The device features very low line capacitance, typically 3 pF, which makes it suitable for protecting high-speed interfaces such as USB 2.0, HDMI, eSATA, and Thunderbolt without significant signal attenuation.
• Flow-Through Design: Its flow-through design simplifies PCB layout by allowing the signal lines to pass directly underneath the device, reducing trace inductances and enhancing the overall protection performance.
• SOT-666 Package: Housed in a small SOT-666 package, the DVIULC6-2M6 occupies minimal board space, making it ideal for space-constrained applications.

Applications

The DVIULC6-2M6 is versatile and can be used in a wide range of applications, including:

• Mobile phones and smartphones
• Portable media players
• Set-top boxes
• Notebook and desktop computers
• Peripheral devices and interfaces

With its combination of low capacitance, low clamping voltage, and high ESD protection, the DVIULC6-2M6 is an excellent choice for designers looking to enhance the durability and reliability of their high-speed data interfaces.
