The TClamp2472S expands Semtech’s TransClamp® platform; enhances system robustness and guards circuits from destructive overvoltage transient threats
Semtech Corporation announced the TClamp2472S, a versatile two-line, low-capacitance transient protection array designed to safeguard xDSL interfaces from dangerous transient voltage threats. In addition to xDSL interfaces, it is also appropriate for safeguarding broad-based data links serving industrial and communications infrastructure.
The TClamp2472S offers 20 A (8×20µs waveform) of surge immunity in an industry-standard SOT-23 package. The dual-line device delivers industry-leading transient protection while also presenting a minimal line-to-line capacitance of less than 3.5 pF. Robust (20 A, tp = 8/20 μs) surge rating for high-surge lightning protection helps xDSL equipment makers achieve compliance with the industry’s stringent EMC immunity requirements.
The TClamp2472S represents Semtech’s latest addition to the highly-differentiated TransClamp® platform, which offers high-surge immunity with ultra-small junction capacitance. The high-surge, low capacitance advantages are enabled by Semtech’s industry-leading process technology, which achieves extremely low clamping voltage with significant reductions in leakage current and capacitance.
