Kinetic Technologies, a leading innovator in electronic solutions, introduces the KTU1128, a cutting-edge component designed to safeguard Type-C CC and SBU signals. This revolutionary product offers comprehensive overvoltage protection (OVP) with an array of impressive features.
The KTU1128 is engineered to provide reliable protection against overvoltage events. Upon detection of such events, it promptly shuts down all conducting paths to prevent damage to critical circuits on the system side, such as the PD controller.
One of the key highlights of this product is its exceptional signal integrity. The SBU and CC switches exhibit extremely low capacitance, ensuring a broad bandwidth and enabling high-speed signal transmission with minimal loss. Moreover, the CC1/2 switches feature low on-resistance, facilitating the passage of VCONN power up to 1.25A.
In scenarios where dead battery conditions might occur, internal 5.1kΩ resistors automatically pull down on CC1/2 to ensure that the upstream source provides a stable 5V on VBUS, maintaining device functionality.
The KTU1128 is available in two packaging options: a RoHS- and Green-compliant 16-bump WLCSP package measuring 1.694mm x 1.694mm and a 20-pin 3mm x 3mm WQFN package.
Notable features include:
- Thunderbolt compatibility
- Overvoltage Protection with fast 70ns response time
- IEC61000-4-5 Surge Protection (±40V Surge Tolerance on CC1/2, ±30V Surge Tolerance on SBU1/2)
- IEC61000-4-2 ESD Protection (±15kV air gap, ±8kV contact on CC1/2, SBU1/2)
- CC Switches: 1.25A, 270milli-ohms, 40pF, 140MHz with automatic 5.1kilo-ohms dead battery pull-down
- SBU Switches: 3ohms, 11pF, 800MHz
- wide operating supply voltage range (2.5V to 5.5V)
- operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C
The KTU1128 is an excellent solution for various applications, including notebook PCs, netbooks, tablets, monitors, TVs, gaming devices, set-top boxes, and networking equipment.
With its advanced overvoltage protection and signal integrity enhancements, the KTU1128 from Kinetic Technologies sets a new standard in Type-C signal protection, making it a vital component for modern electronic devices.
