Product details
Overview
AOZ8S325BDS-40 from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor is a 1-channel bidirectional TVS diode array designed for ESD and surge protection of high-speed data lines. It delivers 0.35 pF typical junction capacitance, ±8 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity (contact/air), 40 V reverse working voltage, and 55 V clamping voltage at 1 A TLP - enabling robust signal integrity in USB 2.0, HDMI, and MIPI interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the AOZ8S325BDS-40 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include low-capacitance transient suppression, bidirectional clamping behavior, DFN1.0×0.6-2L package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts, and compliance with IEC 61000-4-2/4-4/4-5 standards for mobile and computing end-equipment.
Technical Context
The AOZ8S325BDS-40 integrates two unidirectional TVS diodes in antiparallel configuration to achieve true bidirectional clamping across a single I/O line. Its low 0.35 pF capacitance minimizes signal distortion on high-frequency data paths up to 1 GHz, while maintaining 55 V clamping at 1 A TLP and 58 V at 1 A IEC 61000-4-5 surge.
It operates over -40°C to +125°C junction temperature and features 40 V reverse working voltage with <100 nA leakage at VRWM. The device meets IEC 61000-4-2 (±8 kV contact/air), IEC 61000-4-4 (40 A EFT), and IEC 61000-4-5 (1 A 8/20 µs) immunity requirements without external biasing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Working Voltage | 40 V - defines maximum continuous DC or peak AC signal voltage the device blocks without conduction |
| Junction Capacitance | 0.35 pF (typ) - enables minimal loading on high-speed data lines (e.g., USB 2.0, MIPI D-PHY) |
| Clamping Voltage (TLP, 1 A) | 55 V - limits transient-induced voltage overshoot during fast ESD events (100 ns pulse) |
| ESD Rating (IEC 61000-4-2) | ±8 kV contact / ±8 kV air - ensures reliability against human-body and proximity discharge in handheld devices |
| Surge Rating (IEC 61000-4-5) | 1 A (8/20 µs) - provides line-level protection against induced lightning surges and power cross events |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - supports deployment in automotive infotainment and industrial portable equipment |
Pinout & Package
AOZ8S325BDS-40 is housed in a RoHS-compliant, halogen-free DFN1.0×0.6-2L package (1.0 mm × 0.6 mm × 0.5 mm) with bottom-side thermal pad and two terminals.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode of Diode A / Cathode of Diode B | Common I/O terminal - connects directly to protected data line (e.g., USB D+, HDMI TMDS+) |
| 2 | Cathode of Diode A / Anode of Diode B | Ground reference terminal - must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane for effective clamping |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role: Point-of-entry TVS on twisted-pair bus lines, referenced to local ground with minimal trace inductance. Use Value: 1 A IEC 61000-4-5 surge rating handles induced line transients; 40 V VRWM aligns with common 3.3 V/5 V bus logic levels. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional TVS protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ40A | Unidirectional, 40 V VRWM, 64.5 V VC @ 1 A, 1.5 pF CJ, SMA package (4.5 mm × 2.7 mm) | Requires external series resistor or dual-device layout for bidirectional protection; higher capacitance degrades >100 Mbps signals | Use only where board space permits larger package and signal bandwidth ≤ 50 Mbps |
| TPD2E001DRYR | Bidirectional, 5 V VRWM, 12 V VC @ 1 A, 0.9 pF CJ, DRY (1.0 mm × 0.6 mm) package | Lower VRWM restricts use to 3.3 V or 5 V logic; insufficient for 12 V–40 V industrial or automotive data buses | Select when protecting low-voltage interfaces like I²C or UART, not high-VRWM applications |
Compared with SMAJ40A and TPD2E001DRYR, the AOZ8S325BDS-40 uniquely combines 40 V VRWM, 0.35 pF capacitance, and DFN1.0×0.6-2L footprint - making it the only option among the three suitable for compact, high-speed, high-voltage data line protection without redesigning layout or sacrificing bandwidth.

FAQ
What is the primary circuit role of the AOZ8S325BDS-40 in a system?
The AOZ8S325BDS-40 serves as a bidirectional transient voltage suppressor on single-ended or differential data lines. It clamps ESD and surge energy to ground or VCC by leveraging its antiparallel dual-diode structure. In practice, the AOZ8S325BDS-40 is placed at the I/O connector to limit transient voltages before they reach sensitive transceivers - ensuring compliance with IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 and preventing latch-up or permanent damage.
Does the AOZ8S325BDS-40 require an external bias voltage or control signal to operate?
No, the AOZ8S325BDS-40 is a passive, silicon-based TVS diode array with no control pins or bias requirements. It operates solely based on its intrinsic breakdown characteristics: conducting only when voltage across its terminals exceeds the reverse breakdown threshold (~43–53 V). This makes the AOZ8S325BDS-40 inherently compatible with any data line regardless of logic family, speed, or DC bias level within its 40 V VRWM rating.
Can the AOZ8S325BDS-40 protect differential signal pairs such as USB 2.0 or MIPI D-PHY?
Yes - the AOZ8S325BDS-40 is commonly deployed per differential lane (e.g., one AOZ8S325BDS-40 on D+, another on D−) due to its low 0.35 pF capacitance and symmetrical clamping. Its DFN1.0×0.6-2L footprint allows tight placement near connectors without skewing differential impedance. The AOZ8S325BDS-40 has been validated in USB 2.0 eye diagrams and MIPI D-PHY jitter tests, confirming signal integrity preservation up to 480 Mbps and 1.5 Gbps respectively.
What is the thermal performance limitation of the AOZ8S325BDS-40 during repeated ESD events?
The AOZ8S325BDS-40 is rated for junction temperatures from -40°C to +125°C and exhibits no thermal derating for single ESD pulses per IEC 61000-4-2. However, under repetitive 1 A TLP stress (>100 Hz), localized heating may accumulate. Layout best practices - including direct thermal connection of the DFN thermal pad to a solid ground plane and minimizing trace inductance - are essential to dissipate energy and maintain the AOZ8S325BDS-40 within safe operating limits during burst-mode testing.
Is the AOZ8S325BDS-40 compliant with automotive AEC-Q200 or industrial reliability standards?
The AOZ8S325BDS-40 is not AEC-Q200 qualified, but it meets key automotive-relevant stress tests: IEC 61000-4-2 (±8 kV), IEC 61000-4-4 (40 A), and operation from -40°C to +125°C. Its halogen-free, RoHS-compliant DFN1.0×0.6-2L package supports lead-free reflow. While not formally certified, the AOZ8S325BDS-40 is widely used in automotive infotainment and ADAS camera modules where customer-level qualification covers thermal cycling, humidity, and ESD robustness.
