Schematic & PIN Configuration

Revision 08/15/06

The LCDA15C-6 has been specifically designed to

protect sensitive components which are connected to

data and transmission lines from over voltages caused

by electrostatic discharge (ESD), electrical fast tran-

sients (EFT), and lightning.

The low capacitance array configuration of the

LCDA15C-6 allows the user to protect six high-speed

data or I/O lines. They may be used on systems

operating from 5 to 15 Volts. The high surge capability

(500W, tp=8/20µs) makes the LCDA15C-6 suitable for

telecommunications systems operating in harsh tran-

sient environments. The low inductance construction

minimizes voltage overshoot during high current

surges.

The features of the LCDA15C-6 are ideal for protecting

multi-protocol transceivers in WAN applications such as

Frame Relay systems, routers, and switches.
