Product details
Overview
AOZ8251DI-05 from Alpha and Omega Semiconductor is a one-line bidirectional TVS diode in a DFN 0.6 × 0.3 mm package, rated for ±25 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact ESD, 5.0 V working peak reverse voltage, 8.0 pF capacitance, and 16.0 V clamping voltage at 2 A pulse current - designed to protect high-speed data lines in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the AOZ8251DI-05 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include low capacitance for signal integrity, ultra-small 0201 footprint for dense PCB layouts, bidirectional clamping capability, ESD immunity compliance, and thermal performance across –40 °C to +85 °C ambient operation.
Technical Context
The AOZ8251DI-05 implements a single monolithic bidirectional TVS junction optimized for transient suppression on unidirectional signal paths. Its design targets fast response to ESD events (sub-nanosecond) with minimal parasitic capacitance and low clamping voltage under 2 A 8/20 µs pulses.
It operates within a 5.0 V working peak reverse voltage range and maintains stable breakdown at ≥6.0 V, enabling reliable protection of 3.3 V and 5 V logic interfaces without leakage-induced power loss or false triggering during normal operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Peak Reverse Voltage (VRWM) | 5.0 V - defines maximum continuous DC or AC signal swing before conduction begins |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) min | 6.0 V - ensures robust margin above VRWM to prevent premature clamping |
| Clamping Voltage (VCL) max @ 2 A | 16.0 V - limits transient voltage seen by protected IC during 8/20 µs surge |
| Capacitance (CJ) typ @ 0 V, 1 MHz | 8.0 pF - preserves signal integrity on USB, I²C, and touch interface lines |
| ESD Rating (IEC 61000-4-2 contact) | ±25 kV - meets Level 4 immunity requirement for handheld device end-equipment |
| Ambient Operating Range | –40 °C to +85 °C - supports deployment in consumer portable environments |
| Package Dimensions | 0.6 mm × 0.3 mm × 0.3 mm - enables placement on fine-pitch flex or rigid PCBs with minimal area use |
Pinout & Package
AOZ8251DI-05 uses a 2-terminal DFN 0.6 × 0.3 mm package with exposed paddle. Terminals are non-polarized and symmetric for bidirectional operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

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 | Unidirectional, DO-214AC package (4.5 mm × 3.9 mm), 100 pF capacitance, 17.1 V clamping @ 11.7 A | Requires polarity-aware layout; unsuitable for high-frequency data lines due to high capacitance | Select only for low-speed, high-energy industrial I/O where board space is not constrained |
| TPD2E001DRYR | 2-channel unidirectional, DRY (X2SON-6) package, 12 pF per channel, 12 V clamping @ 1 A, integrated ESD protection for dual I/O | Offers dual-line protection in same footprint but higher capacitance and fixed polarity per channel | Prefer when protecting paired signals like I²C SDA/SCL; AOZ8251DI-05 remains optimal for single-line, bidirectional, ultra-low-C needs |
Compared with SMAJ5.0A and TPD2E001DRYR, the AOZ8251DI-05 delivers superior high-frequency signal integrity via its 8.0 pF capacitance and bidirectional symmetry, while occupying just 0.18 mm² - making it uniquely suited for miniaturized consumer interfaces where both ESD robustness and bandwidth preservation are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of AOZ8251DI-05 at 2 A peak pulse current?
The AOZ8251DI-05 has a maximum clamping voltage of 16.0 V at 2 A peak pulse current under an 8/20 µs waveform. This value ensures downstream 3.3 V or 5 V ICs remain within safe operating limits during IEC 61000-4-2 ESD events. The clamping performance is verified per datasheet test conditions and remains stable across the full –40 °C to +85 °C operating temperature range.
Does AOZ8251DI-05 support bidirectional ESD protection?
Yes, AOZ8251DI-05 is a monolithic bidirectional TVS diode, meaning it provides symmetrical clamping for both positive and negative transients without requiring polarity-specific placement. This makes AOZ8251DI-05 ideal for protecting AC-coupled or floating signal lines such as USB D+/D–, I²C, or touch sensor traces where voltage polarity reversal occurs during normal operation.
What is the capacitance of AOZ8251DI-05 and why does it matter?
The AOZ8251DI-05 has a typical junction capacitance of 8.0 pF measured at 0 V bias and 1 MHz. This low value minimizes signal attenuation and phase distortion on high-speed lines - critical for maintaining timing margins in interfaces like USB 2.0, MIPI, or I²C running up to 400 kHz. Higher capacitance would degrade rise/fall times and increase bit error rates in data transmission.
Is AOZ8251DI-05 compliant with IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD requirements?
Yes, AOZ8251DI-05 exceeds IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD immunity with ±25 kV contact and ±30 kV air discharge ratings. These values are validated per the standard's test setup (150 pF capacitor, 330 Ω discharge resistor) and reflect actual device performance - not theoretical limits. AOZ8251DI-05 is routinely deployed in certified end-products meeting this requirement.
What package type and dimensions does AOZ8251DI-05 use?
AOZ8251DI-05 uses a DFN 0.6 mm × 0.3 mm × 0.3 mm 2-terminal package (industry-standard 0201 footprint). The package features an exposed thermal paddle on the bottom for enhanced heat dissipation and is RoHS-compliant and halogen-free. Land pattern recommendations are provided in the official datasheet to ensure reliable solder joint formation and mechanical stability.
