I’m currently using a 2-channel device from Semtech as shown in my Upverter design. Is there a cheaper way to implement this protection?

Thanks!

Yes you can save a little bit of money on this by using discrete components.

To protect Data lines, use something like this.

To Protect Power line you can use a Zener diode to clamp the voltage, like this.
