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.
Vendors offer AV surge protectors with indicator lights, UL rating,
clamping voltage, joule rating, response time, and others.
Most whole-house surge suppressors use MOV (metal oxide varistors) components that absorb the electrical energy from the surge when it gets above a certain level (
clamping voltage).
The voltage of the tested input EMP is above the
clamping voltage of each protection device.
MOVs are rated by the voltage at which they become conductive (
clamping voltage) and the amount of current they are able to handle.
The device features small 0201 standard package (0.6mmx0.3mm); bi-directional +/- 30kV contact discharge ESD protection per IEC61000-4-2 standard; low
clamping voltage of +/- 8.6V; and low dynamic resistance, typically 0.4 Ohm.
Check the technical specifications for these minimum features: 330 volts (or less)
clamping voltage, 5 nanoseconds (or less) clamping speed and 500 joules (or more) energy dissipation.
