HDMIULC6-4SC6

After introducing the DVIULC6-4SC6 protection dedicated to the DVI port, the HDMIULC6-4SC6 is a new product enlarging the protection solutions range. It offers high ESD protection along with ultra-high cut-off frequency in order to preserve signal integrity at very high data rates. 15 kV ESD protection is now applicable to high-speed digital multimedia connections such as HDMI port.
The HDMIULC6-4SC6 complies with the most stringent ESD standard, IEC61000-4-2 level 4. This means the device withstands over 15 kV air-discharge and 8 kV contact-discharge. Rigorous testing of the HDMIULC6-4SC6 has shown that it even withstands considerably higher levels of discharge than that required by the standard.
The ultra-low line capacitance of 0.6 pF of the HDMIULC6-4SC6 implies the highest cut-off frequency (>5 GHz) on the market in order to fulfill all HDMI requirements and anticipate future evolutions. The device has no influence on rise and fall times of the signal providing strict compliance with the HDMI specification. It enables full protection of the port while being transparent to the performance of the link. The ultra wide bandwidth implies almost no impact of the device on key features such as intra-pair skew and inter-pair skew along the differential pairs.
The HDMIULC6-4SC6 provides the best trade-off in protection/performance for high-speed series data lines. It preserves data integrity with no influence on rise and fall times as well as skew. It offers balanced signal and low leakage current with the best protection level available on the market against the most stringent ESD surges.
