Product details
Overview
RCLAMP0516P.TCT from Semtech is a 6-line, low-capacitance ESD protection array designed for high-speed data interfaces including USB 3.0, HDMI 1.4, and MIPI. It delivers ±15kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact/air ESD immunity, 0.65pF max I/O-to-GND capacitance, 0.20Ω typical dynamic resistance, and flow-through SLP3313P6 package (3.3 × 1.3 × 0.575 mm) with 0.5 mm pitch.
For engineers reviewing the RCLAMP0516P.TCT datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping voltage under 4A IEC 61000-4-5 surge, sub-1pF line capacitance for >5 GHz signal integrity, and validated performance in differential pair layouts for HDMI/MIPI.
Technical Context
The RCLAMP0516P.TCT employs silicon-avalanche multi-junction architecture with snap-back behavior, enabling bidirectional clamping for both positive and negative transients. Its low dynamic resistance (0.20 Ω typ.) and minimized package inductance reduce peak clamping voltage during 8/20 µs lightning surges and TLP events.
Each of its six I/O lines operates independently with VRWM = 5 V, VBR ≥ 6.0 V, and guaranteed clamping ≤ 6.5 V at IPP = 16 A (TLP). The flow-through pinout preserves signal path continuity, supporting differential pair routing without stubs or vias.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| ESD Rating (IEC 61000-4-2) | ±15 kV air & contact - meets industrial-grade ESD immunity without external shielding |
| Clamping Voltage (IPP = 16 A) | ≤6.5 V - limits transient overvoltage to safe levels for 3.3 V and 5 V interface receivers |
| Junction Capacitance (I/O–GND) | 0.65 pF max - enables use in 5+ GHz applications (e.g., USB 3.0 Gen 1, HDMI 1.4) with <0.5 dB insertion loss |
| Dynamic Resistance | 0.20 Ω typical - reduces voltage overshoot during fast-rising ESD pulses (tR < 1 ns) |
| Surge Rating (IEC 61000-4-5) | 4 A (8/20 µs) - withstands lightning-induced surges on board-level data lines |
| Package | SLP3313P6 (3.3 × 1.3 × 0.575 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) - compact, flow-through layout minimizes trace discontinuity |
Pinout & Package

| Pin 3 | I/O Line 3 | Third I/O line; supports third differential pair (e.g., HDMI TMDS Data 0+) |
| Pin 4 | I/O Line 4 | Fourth I/O line; completes second differential pair (e.g., HDMI TMDS Data 0−) |
| Pin 5 | I/O Line 5 | Fifth I/O line; used for third differential pair (e.g., HDMI TMDS Data 1+) |
| Pin 6 | I/O Line 6 | Sixth I/O line; complements Pin 5 (e.g., HDMI TMDS Data 1−) |
| Pins 7 & 8 | GND | Dual ground terminals - low-inductance return paths for all six lines; connected to exposed thermal pad |

Applications
| USB 3.0 Interface Protection | HDMI 1.4 TMDS Channel Protection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protecting SuperSpeed USB 3.0 differential pairs (SSTX+/−, SSRX+/−) from ESD during hot-plug and system handling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive ESD clamp placed immediately before connector; no timing or signal conditioning function. Use Value: 0.65 pF capacitance ensures <0.3 dB insertion loss at 5 GHz, maintaining eye diagram integrity and compliance with USB 3.0 electrical specs. |
Use Scenario: Shielding HDMI 1.4 TMDS data channels (three differential pairs) from contact ESD during cable insertion or board handling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance shunt protector on each TMDS lane; zero latency, no signal delay introduced. Use Value: Flow-through pinout allows direct routing of TMDS+ and TMDS− through adjacent pins (e.g., Pins 1/2), eliminating crosstalk-inducing bends. |
| MIPI D-PHY Interface Protection | uSD/MMC Card Slot Protection |
|
Use Scenario: Safeguarding MIPI D-PHY lanes (clock + data pairs) in mobile camera and display modules against factory and field ESD. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Per-lane ESD suppressor placed at board edge; maintains D-PHY's 80–125 MHz clock and 500 Mbps–1.5 Gbps data rates. Use Value: Sub-1pF loading prevents jitter accumulation and bit error rate degradation in high-speed D-PHY burst-mode operation. |
Use Scenario: ESD hardening of uSD or MMC card slot data/command lines (DAT0–3, CMD, CLK) in portable consumer devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Six-channel protector covering all bidirectional SD bus signals; handles hot-swap transients without latch-up. Use Value: ±15 kV ESD rating exceeds IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 requirements for handheld device interfaces. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPD6E05U06DQAR | 0.5 pF max capacitance; 6-channel; 5 V VRWM; SOT-563 package (2.1 × 1.6 mm) | Larger footprint; higher parasitic inductance due to gull-wing leads; not flow-through | Prefer when lower capacitance is critical and PCB layout allows larger package; avoid for >3 GHz differential routing |
| SP3208-01UTG | 0.8 pF max capacitance; 6-channel; 5 V VRWM; SLP2510P6 package (2.5 × 1.0 mm) | Smaller footprint but higher capacitance; no flow-through design; requires careful trace symmetry | Choose for space-constrained designs where 0.8 pF is acceptable (e.g., USB 2.0, eMMC); not recommended for HDMI/USB 3.0 |
Compared with TPD6E05U06DQAR and SP3208-01UTG, the RCLAMP0516P.TCT uniquely combines flow-through routing, 0.65 pF capacitance, and 0.20 Ω dynamic resistance-making it optimal for high-fidelity differential signaling where signal integrity and ESD robustness must coexist.

FAQ
What is the maximum working voltage (VRWM) of the RCLAMP0516P.TCT?
The RCLAMP0516P.TCT has a maximum working voltage (VRWM) of 5 V, meaning it remains non-conductive under normal operating conditions up to this DC or peak AC voltage. This rating ensures compatibility with standard 3.3 V and 5 V logic interfaces while providing headroom for signal swing. Exceeding 5 V may trigger premature conduction or degrade long-term reliability.
Does the RCLAMP0516P.TCT support bidirectional ESD protection?
Yes, the RCLAMP0516P.TCT provides fully bidirectional ESD protection due to its symmetric multi-junction silicon-avalanche structure. It clamps equally for positive and negative transients-critical for AC-coupled differential interfaces like HDMI and USB 3.0. No polarity marking or orientation dependency exists; the device functions identically regardless of voltage polarity across any I/O–GND path.
Can the RCLAMP0516P.TCT be used for HDMI 2.0 or higher interfaces?
The RCLAMP0516P.TCT is specified for up to 5 GHz operation with 0.65 pF capacitance and measured insertion loss < −1 dB at 10 GHz, making it technically viable for HDMI 2.0 (6 GHz TMDS) in short-reach PCB traces. However, official validation in the datasheet covers HDMI 1.4 only; for HDMI 2.0/2.1, signal integrity simulation and lab validation with actual source/sink ICs are strongly advised before deployment.
What is the thermal pad connection requirement for the RCLAMP0516P.TCT?
The RCLAMP0516P.TCT's SLP3313P6 package includes an exposed thermal pad that must be soldered to a solid GND plane for optimal ESD energy dissipation and thermal stability. The datasheet specifies connecting Pins 7 and 8-and the thermal pad-to the same low-impedance ground net. Omitting this connection increases clamping voltage and risks thermal runaway during repeated ESD events.
How does the flow-through pinout of the RCLAMP0516P.TCT improve PCB layout?
The flow-through pinout of the RCLAMP0516P.TCT (e.g., I/O1 on Pin 1, I/O2 on Pin 2) allows differential pairs to route straight through the device without bends, vias, or stubs-preserving 90 Ω differential impedance and minimizing crosstalk. This eliminates the need for asymmetric trace lengths or compensation techniques required by traditional "in-out" packages, directly improving signal fidelity in USB 3.0 and HDMI designs.
