Product details
Overview
AOZ8211NI-05 from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor is a unidirectional single-line TVS diode in SOD923 package, designed for ESD and transient protection of 5V signal lines. It delivers ±28kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact/air discharge immunity, 9.0V max clamping voltage at 5A IPP, and 16pF typical capacitance at 0V bias - enabling robust protection for high-speed data interfaces in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the AOZ8211NI-05 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include working peak reverse voltage (5.0V), low clamping voltage under surge, ultra-small 1.0×0.6mm footprint, and compatibility with IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD requirements in handheld and portable designs.
Technical Context
The AOZ8211NI-05 operates as a unidirectional avalanche breakdown TVS diode, clamping transients by shunting excess current to ground when reverse voltage exceeds 6.0V breakdown threshold. Its design targets fast response to sub-nanosecond ESD events while maintaining low insertion loss (<−25dB up to 1GHz) and minimal signal distortion on protected lines.
It functions exclusively in reverse-biased configuration between signal line and ground, with cathode connected to signal and anode to ground. The device exhibits 0.75V typical forward voltage at 10mA and ≤0.1µA leakage at 5.0V VRWM, ensuring negligible standby power impact on 5V logic and interface circuits.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ5.0A | DO-214AC package (4.5 × 2.7 mm); 9.2V VCL @ 5A; 100pF CJ - 6× larger footprint, higher capacitance | Used where board space is unconstrained and lower-frequency signals (≤10MHz) dominate | Choose SMAJ5.0A only if SOD923 placement is mechanically infeasible and signal bandwidth <10MHz |
| TPD2E001DRYR | 2-channel array in X2SON (1.0 × 0.8 mm); 12V VCL @ 1A; 12pF CJ - dual-line protection, higher clamping, same size class | Preferred for differential pairs (e.g., USB D+/D−) requiring matched protection | Select TPD2E001DRYR when protecting two related 5V lines simultaneously with tighter layout control |
Compared with SMAJ5.0A and TPD2E001DRYR, the AOZ8211NI-05 offers the smallest single-line footprint and lowest clamping voltage among RoHS-compliant 5V TVS diodes - making it optimal for discrete, space-limited, high-speed signal protection where individual line control is required.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the AOZ8211NI-05 under a 5A 8/20µs surge?
The AOZ8211NI-05 has a maximum clamping voltage (VCL) of 9.0V when subjected to a 5A peak pulse current with 8/20µs waveform. This value is measured at TA = 25°C and ensures downstream 5V-tolerant ICs remain within safe operating voltage limits during transient events. The AOZ8211NI-05 maintains this clamping performance across its full −40°C to +85°C operating range, as verified in Alpha & Omega's Rev. 2.5 datasheet.
Does the AOZ8211NI-05 support bidirectional ESD protection?
No, the AOZ8211NI-05 is a unidirectional TVS diode intended for protection of positive-going transients on 5V signal lines referenced to ground. Its breakdown occurs only in reverse bias; it does not suppress negative excursions below ground. For bidirectional protection, a separate device such as AOZ8212 or symmetric dual-diode array would be required. The AOZ8211NI-05 pinout and electrical characteristics confirm single-polarity operation.
What is the junction capacitance of the AOZ8211NI-05 at zero bias and 1MHz?
The AOZ8211NI-05 exhibits 16pF typical junction capacitance (CJ) when measured at 0V reverse bias and 1MHz frequency. This low value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official datasheet and enables use on high-speed interfaces including USB 2.0 and I²C without degrading signal integrity. The AOZ8211NI-05's capacitance remains stable up to 5V bias, supporting consistent performance across normal operating conditions.
Is the AOZ8211NI-05 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the AOZ8211NI-05 is qualified for standard lead-free reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020. Its SOD923 package uses matte tin plating and is rated for peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C. The device is RoHS compliant and marked with "L" suffix (AOZ8211NI-05L) to indicate halogen-reduced Green Product status. AOZ8211NI-05 meets IPC-A-610 Class 2 requirements for consumer electronics assembly.
How does the AOZ8211NI-05 meet IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD requirements?
The AOZ8211NI-05 exceeds IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 with ±28kV air and ±28kV contact discharge ratings - surpassing the standard's ±15kV air / ±8kV contact requirement. This margin is achieved through optimized silicon geometry and low-parasitic packaging. When integrated per Alpha & Omega's recommended layout (short ground path, cathode-to-signal routing), the AOZ8211NI-05 enables full system-level pass certification without additional filtering components.
