I'm going to have 48 signal lines that I want to clamp to a 1.5 volt bus, with a low-capacitance back-to-back schottky pair.
A 3-pin dual schottky diode does one line.
A 4-pin schottky bridge or ring does two.
Does anybody know of a package that will do more?
The application is to speed up an optocoupler (48 of them, actually) by clamping the phototransistor collector to 1.5 +-0.3 or something like that, with emitter grounded and a collector pullup resistor to +5 or some such. The optos we have in mind are pretty fast, a few us, if they are not allowed to saturate. The clamped outputs will go directly into an FPGA that has an accurate, programmed
1.5 volt logic threshold.
