Overview
The NUP4201MR6T1 is a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode array designed by onsemi to protect high-speed data lines and power supplies from electrostatic discharge (ESD), electrical fast transients (EFT), and other transient overvoltage conditions. This device is packaged in a TSOP-6 footprint, which is compatible with SC-74, SC-59 6 Lead, and SOT-23 6 Lead packages. It is particularly suited for applications requiring low capacitance and high-speed data line protection.
