KTU1108: Superior USB Type-C Protection for CC Lines

Power management leader Kinetic Technologies announced an addition to their growing portfolio with the latest USB Type-C data line protection IC, the KTU1108. This protection device has been designed to provide industry-leading ESD, surge, and overvoltage protection for USB Type-C ports, eradicating the need for bulky TVS diodes.


“Kinetic Technologies has developed the KTU1108 to increase USB Type-C port protection against a multitude of power fault conditions,” says Kinetic Technologies Vice President David Nam. “Our integrated ESD protection meets IEC61000-4-2 standards, and our ultra-fast (15ns typ.) OVP minimizes output voltage spikes. Compliance with IEC61000-4-5 increases immunity, against nature-induced surges, like lightning strikes on power lines, while the KTU1108 also eliminates system damage due to physical- or moisture-related shorts between signal pins and the VBUS at elevated voltage levels.”


The KTU1108 features CC1/2 DPST switches—both low capacitance and low on-resistance for passing VCONN power up to 1.25A while providing a high bandwidth for CC communications. Dead battery pull-down protection is also included on the CC1/2 lines to ensure the up-stream power source provides 5V on VBUS.


The KTU1108 is available in a Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and Green compliant 1.3mm x 1.7mm wafer-level, chip-scale package (WLCSP).


Key applications for the Kinetic Technologies KTU1108 include laptop and desktop computers, smartphones, tablets, and wearables.
