Texas Instruments Quad ESD Protection Device 15V SOT-23 6-Pin 5.5V

This Texas Instruments Quad ESD Protection Device is a low-capacitance, 4-channel solution designed specifically for high-speed data interfaces. Rated to dissipate electrostatic discharge (ESD) strikes at the maximum level specified in the IEC 61000-4-2 international standard (level 4), it provides robust protection for sensitive electronic components.

Featuring a 1.5pF IO capacitance per channel, this device is ideal for use in high-speed data input/output interfaces. The ultra-low leakage current of less than 1nA maximum makes it highly suitable for precision analogue measurements, particularly in applications such as glucose meters and heart rate monitors. Furthermore, it offers higher IEC protection, lower capacitance, and a lower clamping voltage while eliminating the input capacitor requirement, simplifying circuit design.
