Product details
Overview
AOZ8904HI from Alpha and Omega Semiconductor is an ultra-low capacitance transient voltage suppressor (TVS) array designed to protect four high-speed data lines from ESD and lightning surges. It features 1.3 pF junction capacitance, ±24 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact/air ESD rating, 5.5 V reverse working voltage, and clamps transients to ≤11.0 V at 1 A for positive events - deployed in USB 2.0 port protection.
For engineers reviewing the AOZ8904HI datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include channel clamp voltage under 12 A surge, I/O-to-ground insertion loss < –6 dB up to 1 GHz, matching input capacitance ≤0.03 pF across channels, and SC-70-6 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The AOZ8904HI integrates eight steering diodes and one TVS element in a single SC-70-6 package to protect four bidirectional I/O lines. Its architecture routes transient energy either to VP (pin 5) or ground via low-inductance internal paths, enabling clamping within 100 ns at peak currents up to 12 A.
It operates with a 5.0 V nominal supply and supports DC bias on VP (pin 5) at 3.3 V or floating, directly affecting measured junction capacitance (1.3 pF at VR = 0 V, VP = 3.3 V) and insertion loss performance across USB 2.0 bandwidth (up to 480 Mbps).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Working Voltage (VRWM) | 5.5 V - sets maximum continuous DC operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1 µA |
| Junction Capacitance (Cj) | 1.3 pF @ 1 MHz, VR = 0 V - ensures minimal signal distortion on USB 2.0 data lines |
| Channel Clamp Voltage (VCL) | 11.0 V @ IPP = 1 A - limits voltage seen by protected IC during ESD event |
| ESD Rating (IEC 61000-4-2) | ±24 kV air & contact - exceeds Level 4 immunity requirement for industrial end equipment |
| Peak Pulse Current (IPP) | 4 A @ 8/20 µs - sustains lightning-surge energy without degradation |
| Operating Temperature Range | –40°C to +85°C ambient - validated for consumer and industrial enclosure environments |
Pinout & Package
AOZ8904HI is housed in a RoHS-compliant, halogen-free SC-70-6 package (2.2 mm × 1.35 mm × 1.1 mm), optimized for space-constrained USB and display interface routing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (CH1) | I/O Channel 1 Anode | Steers positive transients toward VP or negative transients toward GND |
| 2 (VN) | Negative Reference / Ground Return | Common cathode node for all four channels' negative clamping path |
| 3 (CH2) | I/O Channel 2 Anode | Independent high-speed data line protection node, matched capacitance |
| 4 (CH4) | I/O Channel 4 Anode | Supports full four-line protection without external component duplication |
| 5 (VP) | Positive Supply Reference | Biasable at 3.3 V or left floating to optimize Cj and insertion loss per application |
| 6 (CH3) | I/O Channel 3 Anode | Enables simultaneous protection of D+/D– and auxiliary signals in compact layout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low inter-channel capacitance mismatch | ΔCj ≤ 0.03 pF ensures uniform signal integrity across all four protected lines |
| Low insertion loss at high frequency | S21 > –6 dB up to 1 GHz with VP biased at 3.3 V - preserves USB 2.0 eye diagram |
| Integrated dual-path clamping | Simultaneous VP-referenced and VN-referenced conduction eliminates need for external TVS diodes |
| ESD robustness beyond IEC standard | ±24 kV contact/air rating - provides margin for field-repair scenarios and handling stress |
Applications
| USB 2.0 Port Protection | DVI Interface Protection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar TVS diode array applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMA6J5.0A | Single-channel, 5.0 V VBR, 600 W peak power, SMC package - higher capacitance (≈40 pF) | Not suitable for multi-line high-speed data; used for power rail protection only | Select when protecting 5 V supply rails rather than four differential data lines |
| SP1003-04UTG | Four-channel, 5.0 V VRWM, 0.35 pF typical Cj, SOT-23-6 - lower capacitance but rated only to ±15 kV ESD | Limited to lower ESD threat environments; lacks 4 A lightning surge rating | Choose where ultra-low capacitance is critical and IEC Level 4 ESD is not required |
Compared with SMA6J5.0A and SP1003-04UTG, AOZ8904HI uniquely balances ±24 kV ESD immunity, 1.3 pF capacitance, and four-channel integration in SC-70-6 - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability USB/DVI interfaces where both speed and ruggedness are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of AOZ8904HI at 5 A peak pulse current?
The AOZ8904HI exhibits a maximum positive clamping voltage of 14.00 V and a maximum negative clamping voltage of –3.50 V at 5 A peak pulse current (tp = 100 ns), measured per I/O pin to ground under specified TLP test conditions. This performance ensures downstream USB transceivers remain within safe operating voltage margins during surge events. The AOZ8904HI maintains consistent clamping behavior across all four channels due to matched internal diode characteristics.
Does AOZ8904HI require external biasing on the VP pin?
No, AOZ8904HI supports two operational modes: VP (pin 5) may be left floating or biased at 3.3 V, depending on system requirements. When floating, junction capacitance is 1.3 pF; when biased at 3.3 V, insertion loss improves across high-frequency bands. The AOZ8904HI datasheet specifies both configurations with distinct S21 and Cj values - no external components are needed to configure either mode.
Can AOZ8904HI protect USB 2.0 D+ and D– lines simultaneously?
Yes, AOZ8904HI is explicitly designed to protect four independent I/O lines, including differential pairs like USB 2.0 D+ and D–. Pins 1, 3, 4, and 6 serve as anode terminals for each channel, while pins 2 (VN) and 5 (VP) provide shared reference paths. The AOZ8904HI's matched channel capacitance (ΔCj ≤ 0.03 pF) preserves differential signal symmetry critical for USB 2.0 eye diagram compliance.
What is the operating temperature range for AOZ8904HI?
The AOZ8904HI is rated for operation across an ambient temperature range of –40°C to +85°C, with a junction temperature limit of –40°C to +125°C. This range supports deployment in industrial enclosures, automotive infotainment front-ends, and consumer electronics without derating. The AOZ8904HI's thermal performance has been validated under sustained 1 A transient conditions within this envelope.
Is AOZ8904HI compliant with RoHS and halogen-free standards?
Yes, AOZ8904HI is both RoHS compliant and halogen-free per AOS Green Policy, using reduced levels of bromine and chlorine. It meets JEDEC J-STD-709B requirements for environmentally conscious manufacturing. The AOZ8904HI packaging and die construction contain no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE).
