Overview
The ESDA6V1-5W6 is a monolithic suppressor designed by STMicroelectronics to protect components connected to data and transmission lines against Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). This device is part of the ESDAxxxWx series, which is known for its high ESD protection levels and compact design. The ESDA6V1-5W6 specifically clamps voltage just above the logic level supply for positive transients and to a diode drop below ground for negative transients, ensuring robust protection for sensitive electronic components.
