Texas Instruments TPD4E1B06 ESD Protection Array, 6-Pin SC-70

The Texas Instruments TPD4E1B06DCKR is a four-channel, ultra-low leakage ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protection TVS (Transient Voltage Suppression) array, engineered to safeguard sensitive electronics from transient voltage events. This device is specifically designed for applications requiring precision analogue measurements, thanks to its exceptionally low leakage current of just 0.5nA.

The array provides robust ESD protection, exceeding the stringent IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 requirements with ratings of ±12kV for contact discharge and ±15kV for air-gap discharge. It also offers surge protection up to 3A (8/20µs) as per IEC 61000-4-5. A key feature for high-speed data integrity is its extremely low line capacitance of 0.7pF per I/O, minimising signal distortion and making it an ideal choice for protecting high-speed interfaces.

Key Features & Benefits

• Ultra-Low Leakage: Maximum leakage current of 0.5nA ensures minimal impact on precision analogue circuits.
