Product details
Overview
AOZ8300CI-05 from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor is an ultra-low capacitance TVS diode array designed to protect four high-speed data lines from ESD, lightning, and EFT transients. It features 2.5 V reverse working voltage, ±30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 air/contact discharge rating, 3.5 V clamping voltage at 5 A, 2.5–3.5 pF junction capacitance, and SOT-23-6 packaging for compact board integration in USB 2.0 and Ethernet interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the AOZ8300CI-05 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include channel clamp voltage under 5 A/10 A surges, input capacitance matching ≤0.2 pF between I/O pins, IEC 61000-4-5 (20 A, 8/20 μs) lightning immunity, and compatibility with -40 °C to +85 °C industrial ambient operation.
Technical Context
The AOZ8300CI-05 integrates eight surge-rated steering diodes and a bidirectional TVS in a single SOT-23-6 package to protect four independent I/O lines. Its architecture routes transient energy to VIN or ground via low-leakage (0.1 μA @ 2.5 V) steering paths, enabling clamping at 3.5 V (positive) and -3.5 V (negative) under 5 A TLP stress.
It meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (±30 kV air/contact), IEC 61000-4-5 (20 A, 8/20 μs), and IEC 61000-4-4 (40 A, 5/50 ns) standards while maintaining sub-4 pF total capacitance per channel - critical for preserving signal integrity on USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and Gigabit Ethernet (1.25 Gbps) links.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Working Voltage (VRWM) | 2.5 V - sets maximum continuous DC operating voltage before conduction begins on protected lines |
| Clamp Voltage (VCL) | 3.5 V / -3.5 V at 5 A - limits transient overvoltage seen by downstream PHY or controller during ESD events |
| Junction Capacitance (Cj) | 2.5–3.5 pF @ 0 V, 1 MHz - ensures minimal signal distortion on high-speed differential pairs |
| Channel Input Capacitance Matching (ΔCj) | ≤0.2 pF - maintains skew control and common-mode rejection across protected I/O pairs |
| ESD Rating (IEC 61000-4-2) | ±30 kV air / ±30 kV contact - exceeds Level 4 immunity requirement for industrial and consumer end equipment |
| Lightning Surge Rating | 20 A (8/20 μs) per IEC 61000-4-5 - withstands induced surges from nearby lightning strikes on Ethernet or video cables |
| Operating Temperature Range | -40 °C to +85 °C ambient - supports deployment in uncontrolled environments including notebooks and flat-panel displays |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-6 package: 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm × 1.10 mm body, 0.95 mm pitch, halogen-free and RoHS-compliant, compatible with SnPb and lead-free reflow processes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (CH1) | Protected I/O Channel 1 | Input/output line routed through internal steering diode to VIN or GND during transient |
| 2 (VN) | Negative Supply / Ground Reference | Common cathode connection for all negative-side steering diodes; ties to system ground plane |
| 3 (CH2) | Protected I/O Channel 2 | Second differential or single-ended data line protected with matched capacitance and clamping |
| 4 (CH4) | Protected I/O Channel 4 | Fourth I/O line sharing same clamping characteristics and layout symmetry as CH1–CH3 |
| 5 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unconnected pin; must remain floating - no PCB trace or solder mask opening required |
| 6 (CH3) | Protected I/O Channel 3 | Third protected line with identical electrical specs; enables full four-line protection in minimal footprint |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Four-channel I/O protection | Single SOT-23-6 device replaces four discrete TVS diodes, reducing BOM count and PCB area by >60% |
| Ultra-low inter-channel capacitance mismatch | ≤0.2 pF variation ensures <1 ps skew between protected differential pairs in DVI or USB 2.0 |
| Bidirectional clamping with low VCL | 3.5 V / -3.5 V clamp at 5 A prevents latch-up or damage to 3.3 V tolerant PHYs and controllers |
| IEC 61000-4-5 compliant surge handling | 20 A (8/20 μs) capability allows direct placement at RJ45 or HDMI connectors without external current-limiting resistors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar TVS diode array applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMA6J33A-Q | Single-channel, 33 V VRWM, 52.3 V clamping at 5.8 A - higher voltage rating, no multi-line integration | Requires four separate devices and larger PCB area; unsuitable for high-speed data due to ~300 pF capacitance | Only viable for low-frequency power rail protection where speed and capacitance are non-critical |
| SP1003-04UTG | Four-channel, 3.3 V VRWM, 12 pF typical Cj - higher capacitance than AOZ8300CI-05's 2.5–3.5 pF | Acceptable for USB 1.1 or RS-485 but causes measurable eye closure on USB 2.0 or DVI links above 400 Mbps | Prefer AOZ8300CI-05 when signal bandwidth >200 MHz or inter-pair capacitance matching ≤0.2 pF is required |
Compared with SMA6J33A-Q and SP1003-04UTG, the AOZ8300CI-05 uniquely delivers four-channel protection with sub-4 pF capacitance, ±30 kV ESD rating, and 3.5 V clamping - making it the only option qualified for space-constrained, high-speed interfaces like USB 2.0 and DVI without compromising signal fidelity or layout efficiency.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the AOZ8300CI-05 under a 10 A transient?
The AOZ8300CI-05 exhibits a maximum positive clamping voltage of 4.5 V and negative clamping voltage of -5 V when subjected to a 10 A, 100 ns TLP pulse. This performance is measured per IEC 61000-4-2 test conditions and ensures safe operation for 3.3 V logic interfaces without overstressing downstream PHY circuitry. The AOZ8300CI-05 maintains this clamping behavior across its full -40 °C to +85 °C operating range.
Does the AOZ8300CI-05 support bidirectional ESD protection on all four channels?
Yes, the AOZ8300CI-05 provides symmetrical bidirectional clamping on all four protected channels (CH1–CH4), with identical ±3.5 V clamping at 5 A for both polarities. Its internal architecture uses matched steering diodes referenced to VN (ground) and VIN (not present on AOZ8300CI-05 - tied internally to VCC in other variants), enabling robust protection against contact and air discharge events regardless of transient polarity. This behavior is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the AOZ8300 datasheet.
Can the AOZ8300CI-05 be used for HDMI interface protection?
No - the AOZ8300CI-05 is not recommended for HDMI protection because HDMI 1.4+ requires <0.5 pF capacitance per lane to maintain signal integrity at 3.4 Gbps, while the AOZ8300CI-05 specifies 2.5–3.5 pF per channel. Its design targets USB 2.0 (480 Mbps), DVI (1.65 Gbps), and 10/100/1000BASE-T (125 MHz), where higher capacitance is tolerable. For HDMI, AOS offers lower-capacitance alternatives such as the AOZ8200 series. The AOZ8300CI-05 remains optimal for its intended applications.
What is the function of the NC pin (Pin 5) on the AOZ8300CI-05?
Pin 5 of the AOZ8300CI-05 is a no-connect (NC) terminal with no internal bond wire or circuit connection. It must remain electrically floating - neither tied to ground nor routed on the PCB. This pin exists for mechanical symmetry and package compatibility within the SOT-23-6 footprint family. Leaving Pin 5 unconnected avoids parasitic coupling and ensures consistent thermal and electrical performance across all four protected channels in the AOZ8300CI-05.
How does the AOZ8300CI-05 achieve ±30 kV ESD protection while maintaining low capacitance?
The AOZ8300CI-05 achieves ±30 kV ESD immunity through optimized silicon geometry and low-leakage PN junction design, enabling high breakdown uniformity without large junction areas that increase capacitance. Its 2.5–3.5 pF capacitance results from minimized active die area and proprietary passivation layers - verified by TLP testing per IEC 61000-4-2. Unlike conventional TVS arrays, the AOZ8300CI-05 uses integrated steering diodes with tightly controlled forward voltage (0.70–0.85 V) to reduce trigger delay and overshoot, allowing robust protection without sacrificing high-speed signal fidelity.
