ECLAMP2485T.TCT

Overview

The Semtech ECLAMP2485T.TCT is a bidirectional transient voltage suppression diode designed for electrostatic discharge protection. It features five channels with a 5 V operating voltage and a 6 V breakdown voltage. The device offers a low capacitance of 12 pF and withstands a peak pulse current of 5 A. It provides 12 kV contact and 18 kV air gap ESD protection. The component is housed in an 8-pin DFN-1713-8 surface-mount package.

Feature Summary

• Provides robust electrostatic discharge protection for sensitive data lines
• Maintains signal integrity through ultra-low capacitance characteristics
• Supports high-energy electro-optical surge events

Applications

• Protection of color LCD interface circuits
• ESD shielding for high-speed signal transmission lines
• Data line protection in portable electronic devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix TCT to confirm tape-and-reel packaging configuration. Ensure compatibility with the DFN-1713-8 footprint during layout. Confirm RoHS compliance status via the manufacturer datasheet before integration into regulated assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this component when protecting five-channel interfaces requiring 5 V operation. The 12 pF capacitance suits high-speed data applications. The bidirectional polarity handles signals swinging above and below ground. Verify the 5 A peak pulse current rating meets system surge requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Semtech ECLAMP24 series, which focuses on ESD suppressors for consumer electronics. The series offers various channel counts and packages. The ECLAMP2485T.TCT specifically targets multi-line protection in compact form factors like the DFN-1713-8.

Replacement Considerations

Check Semtech documentation for direct cross-references within the ECLAMP24 family. Ensure substitute parts match the 5 V operating voltage and 12 pF capacitance limits.
