Brief Description

The KTA1552 is a four channel, highly integrated CMOS
solution for Common Mode (CM) noise suppression &
transient voltage protection in Ethernet applications.
The KTA1552 EMI/ESD Suppressor has been architected
and designed to provide system level ESD protection and
EMI suppression in Ethernet products, enabling an easier
path to system EMC compliance.
The KTA1552 utilizes Kinetic Technologies’ patented
Active Choke technology which offers superior Common
Mode reduction and immunity compared to passive filtering
techniques in Ethernet applications. The adaptive and
continuous suppression operates over the entire Ethernet
signal bandwidth, and it compensates for many variables
that are the source of common mode noise in Ethernet
systems. It also improves the differential-to-common mode
balance of the system. This enables system designers to
meet EMI emissions and EMI immunity requirements from
the start of the design.
In addition, the KTA1552 includes highly robust ESD/Surge
protection diodes to protect the Ethernet PHY from various
transient overvoltage events. These are built using
Kinetics' proprietary design and layout techniques to safely
deal with very high current densities in a CMOS process
without creating voltage and/or thermal overstress that
causes damage to the device.
The KTA1552 supports four twisted pair interfaces for 1000
applications. The KTA1552 is available in a small footprint
36-pin DFN 9mm x 4mm Reduction of Hazardous
Substance (RoHS) compliant package.
