Kinetic Technologies Supports the Latest 28V Level of USB PD3.1 Extended Power Range (EPR) Systems

Power management and video/audio interface components manufacturer Kinetic Technologies expanded its USB-C Overvoltage Protection IC portfolio with the introduction of its new KTS1890 device. Together with its KTS1898 6ARMS VBUS ISINK load switch and its KTU1128 USB Type-C data line (CC & SBU) protector, these three devices provide a robust and complete set of protection features for product designers. Key applications for the KTS1890 include any USB Type-C Dual Role Port design with PD 3.1 EPR 28V input.

Semtech Corporation announced the latest addition to its RClamp platform. The RClamp3371ZC exceeds industry immunity standards for electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection robustness while only presenting 250 femtofarads of maximum loading capacitance. Engineered as a low clamping, ultra-low capacitance transient voltage suppression (TVS) device, the RClamp3371ZC is an ideal solution for safeguarding high speed interfaces, such as USB Type-C, from common ESD threats.
