RClamp3324P leverages Semtech’s proprietary
technology capabilities to clamp 25 to 50 percent lower than
similar products on the market
Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading supplier of analog
and mixed-signal semiconductors and advanced algorithms, today
announced the latest addition to the RClamp® platform, a low
capacitance 3.3V (Vrwm) transient voltage protection array
optimized to safeguard high-speed data interfaces from
electrostatic discharge (ESD) and overvoltage transient
threats.

“Today’s high-speed data circuits are increasingly vulnerable to
damage or latch-up from common electrostatic transients. Providing
system robustness through lower clamping voltage protection
solutions is critical,” said Tee Lim, Product Marketing Director
for Semtech’s Protection Products Group. “RClamp3324P leverages
many of Semtech’s proprietary technology capabilities to offer
product designers a device that clamps 25 to 50 percent lower than
similar products on the market today.”
The four-line, 3.3V RClamp3324P offers designers increased
protection margin by offering an exceptionally low ESD clamping
voltage while minimizing loading capacitance to protect high-speed
data interfaces, including LVDS, Ethernet and USB 3.x.
Additionally, the RClamp3324P, housed in a 10-pin QFN package,
facilitates a flexible flow-through layout ideal for optimizing
trace routing to achieve signal integrity performance. The device
exceeds the ESD requirements of the IEC61000-4-2 ESD immunity
standard, achieving ±20kV air and ±17kV contact.
Key Features of the RClamp3324P
- Transient protection for high-speed data lines to: IEC
61000-4-2 (ESD) ±20kV (air), ±17kV (contact); IEC 61000-4-4 (EFT)
4kV (5/50ns); IEC 61000-4-5 (lightning) 4.5A (8/20μs)
- 3.3V working voltage protection
- Protects four I/O lines
- Low capacitance (<0.4pF typical line-to-line)
- QFN package: 2.5 x 1.0 x 0.6 mm
- Pb Free and RoHS/WEEE compliant
Pricing and Availability
The RClamp3324P (order code: RClamp3324P.TCT) is available
immediately in production quantities. Semtech offers comprehensive
design assistance, including field- and factory-based support. Data
sheets, volume pricing, and delivery quotes, as well as evaluation
kits and samples are available by contacting info@semtech.com.
