RClamp3374N
Low Capacitance RailClamp®
4-Line Surge and ESD Protection
for Ethernet Interfaces
PROTECTION PRODUCTS
Description
Features
RailClamp® TVS diodes are specifically designed to
protect sensitive components which are connected
to high-speed data and transmission lines from over
voltage caused by ESD (electrostatic discharge),
CDE (cable discharge events), and EFT (electrical fast
transients).
• Transient protection for high-speed data lines to
IEC 61000-4-2 (ESD) ±30kV (air), ±30kV (contact)
IEC 61000-4-4 (EFT) 40A (5/50ns)
IEC 61000-4-5 (Lightning) 40A (8/20μs)
• Array of surge rated diodes with internal TVS Diode
• Protects up to eight lines
• Low capacitance for high-speed interfaces
• Low variation in capacitance vs. bias voltage
• Low clamping voltage
• Low operating voltage: 3.3V
• Solid-state silicon-avalanche technology
The unique design incorporates surge rated, low
capacitance steering diodes and a TVS diode in a single
package. The RClamp®3374N is designed to replace
up to two components for board level GbE protection.
Each device is designed to protect two line pairs.
This is accomplished by routing traces through the
device. When connected in this fashion, the device can
withstand a high level of surge current (40A, tp =8/20us)
while maintaining a low loading capacitance of less than
5pF. The high surge capability means it can be used in
high threat environments in applications such as Gigabit
Ethernet, telecommunication lines, and LVDS interfaces.
The RClamp3374N is constructed using Semtech’s
proprietary EPD process technology. The EPD process
provides low stand-off voltages with significant
reductions in leakage current and capacitance over
silicon avalanche diode processes. It features a true
operating voltage of 3.3 volts for superior protection.
RClamp3374N is in a DFN 3.0 x 2.0 x 0.6mm 10 Lead
package. The leads are finished with lead-free NiPdAu.

Application Information
Ethernet Protection
Ethernet ports are exposed to external transient events
in the form of ESD, EFT, lightning, and cable discharge
events (CDE). Test standards that model these events
include IEC 61000-4-2 for ESD, IEC 61000-4-4 for EFT, and
IEC 61000-4-5 and GR-1089 for lightning. Any of these
events can cause catastrophic damage to the PHY IC.
When designing Ethernet protection, the entire system
must be considered. Over-voltage events can be
common mode (with respect to ground) or differential
(line-to-line). An Ethernet port includes interface
magnetics consisting of transformers integrated with
common mode chokes. The transformer center taps
are connected to ground via an RC network or “Bob
Smith” termination. The purpose of this termination is
to reduce common mode emissions. The transformer
provides common mode isolation to transient events,
but no protection for differential surges. During a
differential transient event, current will flow through
the transformer, charging the windings on the line side.
Energy is transferred to the secondary until the surge
subsides or the transformer saturates.
A typical protection scheme which utilizes RClamp3374N
is shown in Figure 1. The devices are located on the PHY
side of the transformer with one device placed across
two line pairs. Parasitic inductance in the protection
path should be minimized by locating RClamp3374N as
physically close to the magnetics as possible, and preferably on the same side of the PCB. Reducing parasitic
inductance is especially important for suppressing fast
rise time transients such as ESD and EFT. Inductance
in the path of the protection device increases the peak
clamping voltage seen by the protected device (V =
L di/dt). Differential pairs are routed through each
RClamp3374N. Traces are routed unbroken to connect
pins 1 and 10 (Line 1), 2 and 9 (Line 2), 4 and 7 (Line 3)
and 5 and 6 (Line 4). Pins 3 and 8 as well as the tabs are
not connected.
Placing the protection on the PHY side of the magnetics
is advantageous in that the magnitude and duration of
the surge is attenuated by the transformer windings. The
amount of attenuation will vary by vendor and configuration of the magnetics. The Ethernet transformer has
to be able to support the impulse tests without failure.
A typical Ethernet transformer can withstand a few
hundred amperes (tp=8/20µs) before failure occurs, but
this needs to be verified by testing. Alternatively, the
protection can be placed on the line side of the transformer. However, the additional protection afforded by
the transformer is lost, and the ability of the system to
withstand high energy surges is limited to the capability
of the protection device.
