Product details
Overview
AOZ8251BDI-05 from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor is a one-line bi-directional TVS diode in a DFN 0.62 mm × 0.32 mm × 0.5 mm package, rated for -40°C to +125°C operation, with 5 V reverse working voltage, ±20 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD protection (air/contact), and 4 A peak pulse current (8/20 µs), used to protect high-speed data lines in portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the AOZ8251BDI-05 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping voltage at 1 A (8–11 V), junction capacitance (5–6.5 pF), dynamic resistance (0.55 Ω), reverse leakage (<100 nA at 5 V), and compliance with IEC 61000-4-5 lightning surge (4 A).
Technical Context
This bi-directional TVS diode operates symmetrically across signal-to-ground paths, enabling robust ESD and transient suppression on single-ended high-speed lines without polarity constraints. Its ultra-low capacitance and sub-1 Ω dynamic resistance ensure minimal signal distortion while maintaining fast response to transients up to 16 A TLP.
The device is characterized per IEC 61000-4-2 (±20 kV contact/air), IEC 61000-4-5 (4 A, 8/20 µs), and HBM (±30 kV), with breakdown voltage tightly specified at 5.5–8 V and clamping voltage bounded at 15–18 V under 4 A surge conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Working Voltage | 5 V - Maximum continuous DC voltage applied without significant leakage or conduction. |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 5.5–8 V at IT = 1 mA - Threshold where device transitions from high-impedance to low-impedance clamping state. |
| Clamping Voltage (VCL) | 15–18 V at IPP = 4 A (8/20 µs) - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during full-rated lightning surge. |
| Junction Capacitance | 5–6.5 pF at 0 V, 1 MHz - Enables use on USB 2.0, HDMI, or touch interface lines without signal integrity degradation. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 0.55 Ω - Low impedance during clamping ensures efficient energy diversion and tight voltage control. |
| ESD Rating | ±20 kV air / ±20 kV contact per IEC 61000-4-2 - Exceeds Level 4 immunity requirement for handheld consumer devices. |
Pinout & Package
AOZ8251BDI-05 is housed in an RoHS-compliant DFN package measuring 0.62 mm × 0.32 mm × 0.5 mm, with two terminals: Pin 1 (Anode/Cathode shared) and Pin 2 (Cathode/Anode shared), configured for bi-directional signal-line protection between I/O and ground.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | I/O Terminal | Bi-directional connection point for protected signal line; conducts during both positive and negative transients. |
| Pin 2 | Ground Terminal | Reference node for clamping; must be connected to low-inductance system ground to maintain effective ESD path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity | ±20 kV contact/air - Ensures reliable operation in real-world handling and environmental discharge events. |
| Low junction capacitance | 5–6.5 pF - Preserves signal rise/fall times on high-speed interfaces like USB, I²C, and touch sensors. |
| Tight clamping performance | 15–18 V at 4 A (8/20 µs) - Limits stress on downstream ICs such as PMICs, microcontrollers, or interface transceivers. |
| Ultra-small DFN footprint | 0.62 mm × 0.32 mm - Reduces PCB area by >50% vs. standard SOD-323, critical for space-constrained mobile designs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bi-directional TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ5.0A | DO-214AC package (4.5 mm × 2.7 mm); 5.0 V VRWM; 10.8 V VCL @ 12.5 A; 100 pF CJ | Higher capacitance and larger footprint limit use on high-speed lines; suited for power rail or lower-frequency signal protection. | Select SMAJ5.0A only when board space permits and signal bandwidth is below 10 MHz. |
| TPD2E001DRYR | DFN 1.0 mm × 0.6 mm; dual-channel; 5.5 V VRWM; 12 V VCL @ 1 A; 3.5 pF CJ per channel | Offers two independent channels in same footprint; optimized for differential pairs like USB or HDMI; slightly higher VRWM. | Choose TPD2E001DRYR when protecting matched differential signals or requiring dual-line coverage in minimal area. |

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of AOZ8251BDI-05 under IEC 61000-4-5 surge conditions?
The AOZ8251BDI-05 exhibits a maximum clamping voltage of 18 V when subjected to a 4 A, 8/20 µs lightning surge per IEC 61000-4-5. This value is measured across the I/O-to-ground path and ensures downstream components remain within safe operating voltage limits during transient events. The clamping performance is guaranteed across the full -40°C to +125°C ambient temperature range, and AOZ8251BDI-05 maintains this specification without derating.
Does AOZ8251BDI-05 support bi-directional signal lines without polarity concerns?
Yes, AOZ8251BDI-05 is inherently bi-directional due to its symmetrical avalanche structure, allowing it to protect AC-coupled or floating signal lines without regard to DC bias polarity. It clamps equally for positive and negative transients on the I/O terminal relative to ground, making AOZ8251BDI-05 ideal for USB D+, D−, I²C SDA/SCL, and touch sensor lines where signal swing crosses ground.
What is the junction capacitance of AOZ8251BDI-05 and how does it affect high-speed signal integrity?
The junction capacitance of AOZ8251BDI-05 is 5–6.5 pF at 0 V and 1 MHz, verified per manufacturer characterization. This low value minimizes signal attenuation and timing skew on lines operating up to 480 Mbps (USB 2.0), preserving eye diagram opening and reducing bit error rates. AOZ8251BDI-05 achieves this without compromising ESD robustness, distinguishing it from higher-capacitance alternatives.
Can AOZ8251BDI-05 replace AOZ8251BDI-12 in a design?
No - AOZ8251BDI-05 and AOZ8251BDI-12 are not interchangeable due to differing electrical ratings: AOZ8251BDI-05 has 5 V VRWM and 4 A surge rating, while AOZ8251BDI-12 has 12 V VRWM and 1.5 A surge rating. Substituting AOZ8251BDI-05 for AOZ8251BDI-12 risks premature conduction on 12 V lines, and vice versa may fail to clamp low-voltage transients. AOZ8251BDI-05 must be used only where system operating voltage is ≤5 V.
Is AOZ8251BDI-05 compliant with RoHS and halogen-free standards?
Yes, AOZ8251BDI-05 is RoHS compliant and classified as an AOS Green Product, meaning it meets both RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and halogen-free requirements (≤900 ppm bromine, ≤900 ppm chlorine, total ≤1500 ppm halogens). The DFN package uses lead-free terminations and conforms to JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1, and AOZ8251BDI-05 is qualified for reflow soldering per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020.
