USBULC6-2F7
2-line Transil™ ultralow capacitance protection for high speed USB
Datasheet
production data
Description
The USBULC6-2F7 is a monolithic, application
specific discrete device dedicated to ESD
protection of high speed interfaces.
Its ultra low line capacitance secures a high level
of signal integrity without compromising the
protection of downstream sensitive chips against
the most stringently characterized ESD strikes.
