lets say, i am using a LTC4361 ic to protect an usb device from overvoltage and -current.
Top Left is GND, below is VBUS, +5V is protected output. How would i deal with ESD protection for the 5V line? Using an USBLC6 would protect the following circuit from ESD, but would also just clamp the voltage down, if it is, for some reason, too high.
The LTC4361 is a protective device. If it can hold up to 85V overvoltage in DC mode, it likely can hold a lot of 50-ns-long ESD events. Although the datasheet doesn't have explicit ESD data, the first page states: "No Input Capacitor or TVS Required for Most Applications". No "TVS", "Transient Voltage Suppressor". So your ESD concern is likely without much merit.
Also, the USBLC6 doesn't "just clamp" voltages above normal working level of USB, for normal voltages it clamps nothing, this is its function.
