What are the key features of USBULC6-2N4?
- Dual-channel bidirectional protection on 2 USB 2.0 data lines with 6 V breakdown and 10 V clamping voltage
- 50 W peak non-repetitive surge handling safeguards sensitive downstream ICs from harsh ESD events
- Ultra-low capacitance QFN-4 package minimises signal distortion on high-speed differential USB data lines
What is USBULC6-2N4 used for?
The USBULC6-2N4 is purpose-built for protecting USB 2.0 D+ and D- data lines in smartphones, tablets, laptop computers, and USB hubs against electrostatic discharge and fast transient overvoltage events. Its 10 V maximum clamping voltage and 50 W peak pulse rating ensure that downstream USB controllers and application processors remain undamaged even under severe ESD conditions, while the low-capacitance QFN-4 package avoids degrading the high-speed USB signal integrity. The device is equally suited to USB port protection in industrial handheld equipment and point-of-sale terminals exposed to frequent connector insertions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does USBULC6-2N4 clamp ESD surges on USB data lines without corrupting high-speed signals?
The USBULC6-2N4 clamps transient voltages to a maximum of 10 V during a 50 W peak ESD event while presenting ultra-low capacitance on both D+ and D- lines. This low capacitance minimises the impedance mismatch and signal rise-time degradation that would otherwise compromise USB 2.0 high-speed 480 Mbps data integrity.
Which USB connector configurations can USBULC6-2N4 protect with its 2-channel design?
The dual-channel configuration protects both the D+ and D- differential pair of a single USB 2.0 port from a single QFN-4 package, covering the standard 2-wire differential data bus. This one-device-per-port topology simplifies PCB layout and reduces BOM count compared with using 2 discrete TVS diodes per port.
How does the 6 V breakdown voltage of USBULC6-2N4 relate to USB 2.0 supply compatibility?
USB 2.0 data lines operate with signal swings well below 3.3 V, so the 6 V minimum breakdown voltage provides a generous margin above normal signal levels. The bidirectional structure ensures the device clamps overvoltages of either polarity—both positive and negative ESD pulses—while remaining transparent to normal differential USB data signals.
For a compact USB hub design, how much board space does the USBULC6-2N4 QFN-4 package require?
The QFN-4 package has a body size of approximately 1.0 mm × 1.0 mm, allowing designers to place one USBULC6-2N4 per USB port within millimetres of the connector pins. This tiny footprint makes it practical to add ESD protection to all ports of a 4-port or 7-port USB hub without adding significant PCB area or assembly cost.
