USB4 ESD devices protects USB4 and HDMI 2.1 interfaces

Protect USB4 as well as HDMI 2.1 interfaces in your electronics design using Low clamping with low capacitance ESD protection devices from Nexperia. A technology called Nijmegen -- TrEOS based protection keeps low insertion and return loss. Optimized for use with retimers and redrivers on high-speed data lines. The part PESD2V8Y1BSF is designed to protect USB4 (Thunderbolt) interfaces, where as PESD4V0Y1BCSF protects both USB4 and HDMI 2.1. Nexperia explains "Retimers and redrivers are commonly used in the design of high-speed USB4 interfaces. However, these result in shorter board traces which have a lower parasitic inductance, an unintended consequence of which is a reduction in the overall system-level ESD robustness. The PESD2V8Y1BSF and PESD4V0Y1BCSF provide low very fast Transmission Line Pulse (vfTLP) peak clamping voltages, which are even lower than USB4 protection solutions without visible trigger voltage in the standard I(V) TLP curve. This helps to compensate for the reduced inductance between protection and retimer, thereby increasing overall system-level ESD robustness. To comply with budget loss recommendations for ESD, these devices are designed to have exceptionally low insertion loss (-0.29 dB @ 10 GHz) and return loss (-20.6 dB @ 10 GHz). Contrary to other solutions, the capacitance does not increase with operating voltage, offering the full RF performan...
