Product details
Overview
RCLAMP2656P.TGT from Semtech is a low-capacitance RailClamp® TVS array designed for ESD and surge protection of micro-USB (uUSB) interfaces. It integrates dedicated protection for VBus (26V), D+, D−, and ID pins (±5V operation), delivers <0.50pF capacitance on data lines, ±15kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact ESD protection, and 80A (8/20μs) surge capability on VBus - deployed in mobile phones and portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the RCLAMP2656P.TGT datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include low-clamping-voltage TVS performance on both data and power lines, sub-0.5pF signal-line loading, integrated multi-pin protection in SLP2018P6, and compliance with IEC 61000-4-2/4-4/4-5 standards.
Technical Context
The RCLAMP2656P.TGT implements silicon-avalanche TVS diodes in a monolithic array: one 26V unidirectional TVS on Pin 1 (VBus) with 80A surge rating and low clamping voltage; three bidirectional 5V TVS elements on Pins 2–4 (D+, D−, ID) each with ±15kV ESD rating and 0.90Ω dynamic resistance. All protected lines reference internal ground paths at Pins 5, 6, and thermal tabs.
Its architecture eliminates discrete protection components by consolidating VBus overvoltage clamping and high-speed data-line ESD suppression into a single 6-pin SLP2018P6 package. The design enforces strict signal integrity via <0.50pF junction capacitance and supports USB 2.0 and USB OTG protocols without signal degradation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBus Standoff Voltage | 26V - defines maximum continuous operating voltage before clamping on USB power line |
| Data Line Standoff Voltage | 5V - ensures no conduction during normal ±5V USB DP/DM/ID signaling |
| ESD Rating (IEC 61000-4-2) | ±15kV contact on D+/D−/ID; ±30kV contact on VBus - meets industrial-grade ESD immunity requirements |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar USB interface protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SP1006-04UTG | 0.35pF max capacitance; 12V VBus standoff; 30A IEC 61000-4-5 rating | Targeted at lower-power USB peripherals with tighter capacitance budget but reduced surge margin | Select when VBus transients are limited to ≤12V and board space allows larger 1.6×1.6mm package |
| SZ1.5SMC27A | Discrete 27V unidirectional TVS; no integrated data-line protection; 100A surge rating | Requires three additional TVS devices for D+/D−/ID; suitable only for VBus-only protection retrofit | Choose only if redesigning legacy layouts without space for 6-pin array and accepting higher component count |
Compared with SP1006-04UTG and SZ1.5SMC27A, the RCLAMP2656P.TGT uniquely combines 26V VBus clamping, ±5V data-line protection, <0.50pF loading, and 80A surge handling in a single 2.0×1.8mm package - making it the only drop-in solution for compact, high-reliability uUSB ports requiring full-interface protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for the data-line protection channels of the RCLAMP2656P.TGT?
The RCLAMP2656P.TGT specifies a 5V standoff voltage for its D+, D−, and ID pin protection channels. This means the device remains non-conductive during normal USB 2.0 signaling (±0.3V differential swing within 0–3.6V common-mode range) and begins clamping only when transient voltages exceed ±5V. Confirmed per Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the preliminary datasheet.
Does the RCLAMP2656P.TGT provide protection for both USB host and peripheral modes?
Yes, the RCLAMP2656P.TGT supports USB On-The-Go (OTG) operation. Its bidirectional ±5V TVS elements on Pins 2–4 protect D+, D−, and ID regardless of directionality, while the unidirectional 26V TVS on Pin 1 clamps VBus surges whether the port is sourcing (host mode) or sinking (peripheral mode) power. This dual-mode capability is explicitly cited in the Applications section.
What is the clamping voltage of the RCLAMP2656P.TGT on the VBus pin under 80A surge conditions?
Under an 80A (8/20μs) surge pulse, the RCLAMP2656P.TGT clamps the VBus pin (Pin 1) to ≤35V, as shown in the "Clamping Voltage vs. Peak Pulse Current" curve on page 4 of the datasheet. This value ensures downstream 5V regulators and USB controllers remain within absolute maximum ratings during lightning-induced transients.
Can the RCLAMP2656P.TGT be used in USB 3.0 applications?
No, the RCLAMP2656P.TGT is not recommended for USB 3.0 SuperSpeed lanes. Its electrical characteristics and characterization are validated exclusively for USB 2.0 (480Mbps) and USB OTG protocols. The <0.50pF capacitance is sufficient for 480Mbps but insufficient to meet the stricter insertion loss and return loss requirements of 5Gbps SuperSpeed differential pairs.
How many ground connections does the RCLAMP2656P.TGT require for optimal ESD performance?
The RCLAMP2656P.TGT requires connection to ground at Pins 5 and 6 plus the two exposed thermal tabs - totaling four low-inductance ground paths. The datasheet recommends using multiple microvias to each ground node to minimize parasitic inductance, thereby reducing clamping voltage overshoot during ±15kV ESD events on D+/D−/ID lines.
