1.1 General description
The PRTR5V0U6AS is designed to protect Input/Output (I/O) ports that are sensitive to
capacitive load, such as USB 2.0, Ethernet, DVI and HDMI from destruction by
ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD). It provides protection to downstream signal and supply
components from ESD voltages as high as ±8 kV (contact discharge).
The PRTR5V0U6AS incorporates six pairs of ultra-low capacitance rail-to-rail diodes plus
a Zener diode. The rail-to-rail diodes are connected to the Zener diode which allows ESD
protection to be independent of supply voltage with any ESD voltage discharged locally
within the device. The PRTR5V0U6AS is fabricated using monolithic silicon technology
integrating six ultra-low capacitance rail-to-rail ESD protection diodes in a miniature 8-lead
SO8 (SOT96) package.
