8 Application and Implementation

NOTE

Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component

specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are

responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should

validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

8.1 Application Information

TPD4E6B06 is a diode array type TVS. These low capacitance types of TVSs are typically used to provide a

path to ground for dissipating ESD events on hi speed signal lines between a human interface connector and a

system. During high voltage ESD strikes, the device clamps to a safe voltage level to protect the system.

The typical application of the TPD4E6B06 is to be placed in between the connector and the system. The low

capacitance of the TPD4E6B06 gives flexibility in the end application, as it can be used on many different high

speed interfaces.
