Dual Channel Active EMI & ESD Suppressor for Ethernet Applications
Description
The KTA1550 is a single-chip, highly integrated CMOS solution for Common Mode (CM) noise suppression & transient voltage protection in Ethernet applications.
The KTA1550 EMI/ESD Suppressor has been architected and designed to provide system level ESD protection and EMI suppression in Ethernet products, enabling an easier path to system EMC compliance.
The KTA1550 utilizes Kinetic Technologies’ patented Active Choke technology which offers superior Common Mode reduction and immunity compared to passive filtering techniques in Ethernet applications. The adaptive and continuous suppression operates over the entire Ethernet signal bandwidth, and it compensates for many variables that are the source of common mode noise in Ethernet systems. It also improves the differential-to-common mode balance of the system. This enables system designers to meet EMI emissions and EMI immunity requirements from the start of the design.
In addition, the KTA1550 includes highly robust ESD/Surge protection diodes to protect the Ethernet PHY from various transient overvoltage events. These are built using Kinetics’ proprietary design and layout techniques to safely deal with very high current densities in a CMOS process without creating voltage and/or thermal overstress that causes damage to the device.
Each KTA1550 supports two twisted pair interfaces. 10/100 applications require one KTA1550 device while 10/100/1000 applications require two KTA1550 devices. The KTA1550 is available in a small footprint 16-pin QSOP or 16-pin TDFN 4mm x 2.5mm Reduction of Hazardous Substance (RoHS) compliant package.
