Product details
Overview
AOZ8204KI from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor is a four-line unidirectional/bidirectional TVS diode array for ESD and transient protection of high-speed data lines. It features 5.0V reverse working voltage, ±30kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact/air ESD rating, 7.0V clamping voltage at 15A, 17pF typical junction capacitance, and SC-89 package (1.7 × 1.7 × 0.6 mm). It is used in portable GPS, digital cameras, and notebook computer I/O interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the AOZ8204KI datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include bidirectional/unidirectional line configuration flexibility, low clamping voltage under 15A transients, sub-20pF capacitance for high-speed signal integrity, and RoHS-compliant SC-89 footprint compatibility with space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The AOZ8204KI implements Trench Vertical Structure [TVS]²™ technology to achieve fast response and low clamping voltage during ESD events. Its internal architecture supports two distinct configurations: four independent unidirectional channels (pins 1/3/4/6 to pin 2 ground) or two bidirectional channels (pins 1/3 to pins 4/6 ground).
It operates across –40°C to +85°C ambient, with junction temperature rated to +125°C. Electrical behavior is defined by 5.0V VRWM, 8.0V VBR at 1mA, 0.1µA IR at 5V, and 0.70–0.85V VF at 15mA - all specified at 25°C with bold values covering full industrial temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Working Voltage (VRWM) | 5.0 V - matches standard 5V logic supply rails without leakage or false triggering |
| Clamping Voltage (VCL) | 7.0 V at 15A, 100ns pulse - limits transient overvoltage to safe levels for downstream 5V-tolerant ICs |
| Junction Capacitance (Cj) | 17 pF at 0V - enables use on USB 2.0, HDMI, and other >100 Mbps interfaces without signal degradation |
| ESD Rating (IEC 61000-4-2) | ±30 kV air / ±30 kV contact - exceeds Level 4 immunity requirements for handheld consumer electronics |
| Package Dimensions | 1.7 × 1.7 × 0.6 mm SC-89 - fits tight pitch layouts where board area is constrained to <3 mm² per device |

Pinout & Package
AOZ8204KI uses the RoHS-compliant SC-89 (6-lead) surface-mount package, measuring 1.7 mm × 1.7 mm × 0.6 mm with gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is marked by a dot; top view orientation follows standard SC-89_6L layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | I/O1 (unidir) / Channel A+ (bidir) | Primary protected line input; connects to data line in unidirectional mode or positive side of bidirectional pair |
| 2 | Ground (unidir common) | Common cathode return path for all four unidirectional channels; must connect directly to ground plane |
| 3 | I/O2 (unidir) / Channel B+ (bidir) | Second protected line input; shares same grounding scheme as Pin 1 in unidirectional config |
| 4 | Ground (bidir common) | Secondary ground terminal used only in bidirectional mode; paired with Pin 6 for dual-channel symmetry |
| 5 | No Connect (NC) | Internally unconnected; left floating or tied to ground per layout best practice to reduce parasitics |
| 6 | I/O3/I/O4 (unidir) / Channel A−/B− (bidir) | Supports either third/fourth unidirectional line or negative side of bidirectional channels; routing determines function |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Trench Vertical Structure [TVS]²™ technology | Enables 7.0V clamping at 15A with sub-nanosecond response, reducing stress on protected ICs beyond conventional planar TVS |

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of AOZ8204KI under a 25A transient?
The AOZ8204KI exhibits a maximum clamping voltage of 7.50 V for positive transients and –10.25 V for negative transients when subjected to a 25A, 100ns pulse per I/O pin to ground. These values are measured per the electrical characteristics table on page 2 of the official datasheet and define the upper voltage limit imposed on protected lines during worst-case surge events.
Can AOZ8204KI protect both unidirectional and bidirectional data lines?
Yes, AOZ8204KI supports two distinct configurations: four unidirectional lines (Pins 1/3/4/6 connected to I/O, Pin 2 grounded) or two bidirectional lines (Pins 1/3 as inputs, Pins 4/6 grounded). This dual-mode capability is explicitly documented in the "Typical Application" and "Applications Information" sections of the AOZ8204KI datasheet.
What is the junction capacitance of AOZ8204KI and how does it affect high-speed interfaces?
The AOZ8204KI has a typical junction capacitance of 17 pF at 0V reverse bias and 1 MHz. This low value ensures minimal signal attenuation and reflection on high-speed interfaces such as USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and HDMI DDC lines, preserving eye diagram integrity and meeting insertion loss targets below –3 dB up to 1 GHz.
Is AOZ8204KI RoHS compliant and what is its operating temperature range?
Yes, AOZ8204KI is RoHS compliant and packaged in an SC-89 lead-free format. Its specified ambient operating temperature range is –40°C to +85°C, with junction temperature rated up to +125°C - validated across the full range per Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables in the AOZ8204KI datasheet.
How should the NC pin (Pin 5) of AOZ8204KI be handled in PCB layout?
Pin 5 of AOZ8204KI is a no-connect terminal per the internal circuit diagram. It may be left floating, but best practice recommends tying it to ground to minimize parasitic antenna effects and improve ESD return path consistency - a recommendation supported by AOS's "Circuit Board Layout Recommendations" on page 4 of the AOZ8204KI datasheet.
