Product details
Overview
AOZ8211DI-03 from Alpha and Omega Semiconductor is a unidirectional single-line TVS diode in a DFN 1.0 mm × 0.6 mm package, rated for 3.3 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 5.5 A peak pulse current (IPP), and clamping voltage ≤7.5 V at 5 A. It delivers ±30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact/air ESD protection and operates across –40 °C to +85 °C ambient temperature, designed for high-speed data line protection in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the AOZ8211DI-03 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping voltage at specified IPP, VRWM alignment with signal rail voltage, low capacitance (11 pF), RoHS-compliant DFN footprint, and IEC/HBM ESD robustness for USB, keypad, and camera interface lines.
Technical Context
The AOZ8211DI-03 implements a silicon avalanche diode structure optimized for fast transient response (<1 ns rise time) and low clamping under 8/20 µs surge conditions. Its unidirectional configuration provides reverse-biased protection only, requiring correct anode-to-ground orientation on protected signal lines.
It operates with 0.75 V typical forward voltage at 10 mA and exhibits 11 pF junction capacitance at 0 V bias-critical for preserving signal integrity on high-speed interfaces up to 100 MHz. The device's 3.3 V VRWM targets 3.3 V logic rails while maintaining margin above typical IO voltage tolerances.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 3.3 V - Matches standard 3.3 V I/O supply rails without false triggering during normal operation |
| VBR (min) | 3.7 V - Ensures reliable conduction onset above steady-state voltage, preventing leakage-induced noise |
| VCL @ IPP = 5 A | ≤7.5 V - Limits transient overvoltage to safe levels for downstream 3.3 V logic inputs |
| IPP (8/20 µs) | 5.5 A - Sustains industry-standard lightning/surge immunity per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 |
| CJ @ 0 V, 1 MHz | 11 pF - Enables use on USB 2.0, SDIO, and I²C lines without signal degradation |
| ESD Rating (IEC 61000-4-2) | ±30 kV contact / ±30 kV air - Exceeds Level 4 requirement, supporting rugged handheld design |
| Package | DFN 1.0 mm × 0.6 mm × 0.5 mm - Enables placement adjacent to connectors or IC pads in ultra-thin devices |
Pinout & Package
AOZ8211DI-03 uses a 2-terminal DFN package with exposed cathode pad for thermal and electrical grounding. The compact 1.0 mm × 0.6 mm outline supports high-density routing on thin PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Signal line input | Connected directly to protected I/O trace; conducts transient current toward cathode when voltage exceeds VBR |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Ground return path | Must be tied to low-impedance system ground plane; serves as primary current sink during ESD events |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low clamping voltage | 7.5 V max at 5 A enables compatibility with 3.3 V logic families including LVTTL and LVCMOS |
| Low junction capacitance | 11 pF minimizes insertion loss and timing skew on 480 Mbps USB 2.0 differential pairs |
| High ESD robustness | ±30 kV contact discharge withstand eliminates need for secondary board-level protection layers |
| Small-footprint DFN | 1.0 mm × 0.6 mm area reduces PCB real estate by >60% vs. SOD-323 alternatives |
| Low operating voltage rating | 3.3 V VRWM ensures no DC leakage or false triggering on nominal 3.3 V data lines |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ3.3A | DO-214AC package (4.5 mm × 2.7 mm); 600 W peak power; 12.3 V clamping @ 5.9 A; 350 pF capacitance | Not suitable for high-speed data lines due to high capacitance; intended for power rail or low-frequency signal protection | Select SMAJ3.3A only for non-high-speed, space-tolerant designs where low capacitance is not required |
| TPD2E001DRYR | 2-channel unidirectional TVS in DFN 1.0 mm × 0.6 mm; 3.3 V VRWM; 12 pF per channel; ±8 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact | Lower ESD rating limits use in premium consumer devices; dual-channel integration reduces component count but increases cost per line | Choose TPD2E001DRYR when protecting two adjacent lines with shared layout constraints and lower ESD requirements apply |
Compared with SMAJ3.3A and TPD2E001DRYR, the AOZ8211DI-03 uniquely balances ultra-small size, ±30 kV ESD robustness, and 11 pF capacitance-making it optimal for single-line, high-speed, space-critical protection where both signal fidelity and ruggedness are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the AOZ8211DI-03 at 5 A peak pulse current?
The AOZ8211DI-03 has a maximum clamping voltage (VCL) of 7.5 V at 5 A peak pulse current under 8/20 µs waveform conditions. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the Rev. 5.0 datasheet and ensures safe voltage limiting for 3.3 V logic interfaces during surge events. The AOZ8211DI-03 maintains this performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the AOZ8211DI-03 unidirectional or bidirectional, and how does that affect circuit placement?
The AOZ8211DI-03 is a unidirectional TVS diode, configured with anode and cathode terminals. It must be placed with the anode connected to the protected signal line and the cathode tied to ground-providing protection only against negative transients relative to ground. This polarity-sensitive layout is confirmed in the "Typical Application" diagram on page 2 of the AOZ8211DI datasheet. Incorrect orientation renders the AOZ8211DI-03 ineffective.
What is the junction capacitance of the AOZ8211DI-03, and why does it matter for high-speed interfaces?
The AOZ8211DI-03 exhibits 11 pF typical junction capacitance at 0 V bias and 1 MHz, as measured per the Electrical Characteristics table. This low value prevents signal distortion, timing skew, and attenuation on high-speed lines such as USB 2.0, MIPI CSI-2, and SDIO. Higher capacitance would degrade eye diagrams and increase bit error rates-making the AOZ8211DI-03 suitable where signal integrity is critical.
Does the AOZ8211DI-03 meet IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4, and what ESD levels does it actually exceed?
Yes, the AOZ8211DI-03 exceeds IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 requirements: it is rated for ±30 kV air discharge and ±30 kV contact discharge, versus Level 4's minimum of ±15 kV air and ±8 kV contact. This performance is documented in the Features section (page 1) and Absolute Maximum Ratings table (page 2) of the AOZ8211DI Rev. 5.0 datasheet. The AOZ8211DI-03 thus supports premium-grade ESD hardening in consumer and industrial handhelds.
What is the operating temperature range of the AOZ8211DI-03, and is it suitable for automotive cabin applications?
AOZ8211DI-03 is rated for an ambient operating temperature range of –40 °C to +85 °C, as stated in the Maximum Operating Ratings table. While this covers many industrial and consumer environments, it does not meet extended automotive temperature requirements (–40 °C to +105 °C or +125 °C) defined in AEC-Q200. Therefore, AOZ8211DI-03 is appropriate for infotainment front-panel interfaces or portable diagnostic tools-but not under-hood or instrument cluster applications.
