Two-channel rail-clamp ESD protection in a SOT-553
The Texas Instruments TPD2E001DRLRG4 is a steering (rail-to-rail) TVS diode array packing two unidirectional protection channels into a single SOT-553 package. The rail-to-rail topology keeps the capacitance low, making it suitable for preserving signal integrity on interfaces like Ethernet.
The 11 V breakdown triggers only during an ESD event, shunting the surge to the supply or ground rail through the steering diodes.
SOT-553 footprint and placement
The SOT-553 package (also listed as supplier device package SOT-5) is a 5-lead package. Two channels in this footprint mean one device protects a differential pair or two single-ended lines.
