12 pF capacitance — signal integrity on fast lines
With a typical capacitance of 12 pF at 1 MHz, this diode adds minimal loading to high-speed data lines such as USB 2.0, HDMI, LVDS, or automotive Ethernet. The low capacitance preserves signal edge rates and eye-diagram margin, which is the primary reason designers pick this part over a higher-capacitance TVS for serial interfaces.
Clamping and peak pulse ratings
The device clamps at 14 V (typical) with a 6 A peak pulse current (8/20 µs waveform), handling a 90 W peak pulse power. For a 5 V supply, the 6 V breakdown minimum provides a guard band against transients before the clamp engages.
