Product details
Overview
AOZ8831DT-05 from Alpha and Omega Semiconductor is an ultra-low-capacitance (0.22 pF), bi-directional TVS diode in a 1.0 × 0.6 mm DFN package, rated for 5 V working voltage and ±20 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD protection, designed to safeguard high-speed data lines such as USB 2.0 or HDMI interfaces against transients and electrostatic discharge.
For engineers reviewing the AOZ8831DT-05 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device delivers verified clamping voltage ≤9.5 V at 6 A pulse, low leakage (<0.1 µA), and RoHS-compliant green packaging suitable for space-constrained portable electronics design.
Technical Context
The AOZ8831DT-05 implements a single-channel, bi-directional avalanche junction structure optimized for transient suppression on unidirectional signal paths. Its 5.5 V peak reverse voltage and 6 A 8/20 µs pulse rating enable robust protection against IEC 61000-4-5 surges while maintaining sub-0.35 pF max capacitance at 0 V bias.
Designed for operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient, the device achieves <4 V breakdown voltage tolerance (5.5–6.0 V) and clamps to ≤15 V at 6 A, with leakage current limited to 0.1 µA at 5 V - critical for preserving signal integrity in 5 V logic and interface circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage (VRWM) | 5 V - matches standard 5 V I/O rail systems without forward conduction during normal operation. |
| Capacitance (CJ) | 0.22 pF (typ), ≤0.35 pF (max) at 0 V / 1 MHz - preserves signal rise/fall times in >480 Mbps USB 2.0 links. |
| Clamping Voltage (VCL) | ≤9.5 V at IPP = 4 A - limits voltage overshoot to safe levels for 5 V-tolerant transceivers during ESD events. |
| ESD Rating | ±20 kV contact & air per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 - exceeds industrial immunity requirements for handheld interfaces. |
| Peak Pulse Current | 6 A (8/20 µs waveform) - withstands surge energy up to 90 W per IEC 61000-4-5. |
| Operating Temp Range | –40°C to +85°C ambient - supports deployment in consumer-grade portable devices without derating. |

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), 600 W peak power, 600 pF capacitance | Not suitable for >100 Mbps data lines due to excessive capacitance and size | Select only for low-speed DC power or GPIO protection where board space and bandwidth are non-critical. |
| TPD2E001DRYR | 2-channel, 0.8 pF per line, 5 V VRWM, DRY (1.6 × 1.6 mm) package | Offers dual-line integration but higher capacitance than AOZ8831DT-05's 0.22 pF | Choose when protecting two adjacent lines with shared ground; prefer AOZ8831DT-05 for single-line, ultra-high-speed optimization. |
Compared with SMAJ5.0A and TPD2E001DRYR, the AOZ8831DT-05 uniquely combines sub-0.35 pF capacitance, 1.0 × 0.6 mm footprint, and ±20 kV ESD rating - making it the only option validated for USB 2.0 and MIPI CSI-2 line protection without signal degradation.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the AOZ8831DT-05 under a 6 A transient?
The AOZ8831DT-05 clamps to a maximum of 15 V at 6 A (8/20 µs pulse), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the Rev. 2.0 datasheet. This value ensures compatibility with 5 V interface ICs whose absolute maximum input voltage is typically 6.5–7 V, provided external series impedance limits current into the protected device. The AOZ8831DT-05 achieves this clamping performance while maintaining its ultra-low 0.22 pF capacitance.
Does the AOZ8831DT-05 require orientation during PCB placement?
No - the AOZ8831DT-05 is a bi-directional TVS diode with symmetrical junction characteristics, meaning either terminal (Pin 1 or Pin 2) may connect to the signal line and the other to ground without affecting ESD protection performance. This eliminates polarity marking requirements and simplifies automated assembly. The AOZ8831DT-05's DFN package has no polarity indicator, consistent with its bidirectional design.
Can the AOZ8831DT-05 be used to protect a 3.3 V logic line?
The AOZ8831DT-05 has a 5 V working peak reverse voltage (VRWM), making it unsuitable for direct protection of 3.3 V logic lines - leakage current increases significantly above 3.3 V, risking false triggering or excessive standby power draw. For 3.3 V rails, AOS offers the AOZ8830DT-03 (VRWM = 3.3 V). The AOZ8831DT-05 must only be applied where the nominal line voltage is 5 V or compatible with its 5 V rating.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the AOZ8831DT-05 in standard JEDEC PCB layout?
The AOZ8831DT-05 datasheet does not specify θJA; its thermal performance is characterized by junction temperature limits (–40°C to +125°C) and ambient operating range (–40°C to +85°C). As a low-power TVS diode handling only transient pulses (not continuous dissipation), steady-state thermal resistance is not a design parameter. The AOZ8831DT-05 relies on short-duration energy absorption rather than sustained thermal dissipation, so θJA is not published or required for typical ESD protection use cases.
Is the AOZ8831DT-05 compliant with automotive AEC-Q200 standards?
No - the AOZ8831DT-05 is qualified for commercial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and is not AEC-Q200 stress-tested or certified. It is intended for consumer and industrial portable electronics, not automotive applications. For AEC-Q200-qualified alternatives, consider AOS' AOZ8851 series, which shares the same DFN 1.0 × 0.6 package but undergoes extended reliability testing. The AOZ8831DT-05 remains appropriate for notebook, GPS, and camera applications outside automotive environments.
