USBLC6-4
Very low capacitance ESD protection
Features
■ 4 data-line protection
■ Protects V
BUS
■
Very low capacitance: 3 pF typ.
■ SOT23-6L package
■ RoHS compliant
Benefits
■ Very low capacitance between lines to GND for
optimized data integrity and speed
■ Low PCB space consumption, 9 mm²
maximum foot print
■ Enhanced ESD protection: IEC 61000-4-2
level 4 compliance guaranteed at device level,
hence greater immunity at system level
■ ESD protection of V
BUS
: allows ESD current
flowing to ground when ESD event occurs on
data line
■ High reliability offered by monolithic integration
■ Low leakage current for longer operation of
battery powered devices
■ Fast response time
■ Consistent D+ / D- signal balance:
– Best capacitance matching tolerance
I/O to GND = 0.015 pF
– Compliant with USB 2.0 requirements
< 1 pF
Complies with the following standards
■ IEC 61000-4-2 level 4:
– 15 kV (air discharge)
– 8 kV (contact discharge)

Applications
■ USB 2.0 ports up to 480 Mb/s (high speed)
■ Backwards compatible with USB 1.1 low and
full speed
■ Ethernet port: 10/100 Mb/s
■ SIM card protection
■ Video line protection
■ Portable electronics
Description
The USBLC6-4SC6 is a monolithic application
specific device dedicated to ESD protection of
high speed interfaces, such as USB 2.0, Ethernet
links and video lines.
Its very low line capacitance secures a high level
of signal integrity without compromising in
protecting sensitive chips against the most
stringent characterized ESD strikes.
