Nexperia’s Ultra-Low Capacitance ESD Protection Diodes Protect Automotive Data Interfaces

Nexperia, a leading semiconductor specialist, today announced the expansion of its portfolio of ultra-low clamping and ultra-low capacitance ESD protection diodes.

The portfolio is designed to protect high-speed data lines such as USB 3.2, HDMI 2.0, LVDS, automotive A/V monitors, displays and cameras. The portfolio is also for upcoming high-speed video links and OPEN Alliance MGbit Ethernet applications.

These additions include the PESD5V0C1BLS-Q and PESD5V0C1ULS-Q, two-pin single-line devices with a very small DFN1006BD-2 package for optimized routing flexibility. PESD5V0C2UM and PESD5V0C2UM-Q are 3-pin devices for the two differential lines in the DFN1006-3 package. All products are offered in lead-free packages that improve electrical performance and signal integrity.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) voltage clamping diodes play an important role in protecting the data interfaces of automotive subsystems from damage. It does not compromise data signal integrity or adversely affect the system’s electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) performance.

These diodes from Nexperia feature best-in-class signal integrity performance with very low device capacitance (down to 0.3pF), developed from long-standing expertise in designing ESD protection solutions. They are offered in dual-line DFN1006-3 and single-line DFN1006BD-2 packages for maximum design flexibility. The latter package has a lateral wet-flank construction that enables automatic optical inspection (AOI).

The AEC-Q101 automotive-qualified device operates with deep snapback coupled with a low 0.27 Ω resistance, improving system-level robustness and clamping performance in high-speed data interfaces.
