Product details
Overview
CM1213-02SO from onsemi is a 6-channel low-capacitance ESD protection array designed for high-speed data lines, featuring 1.0 pF typical channel input capacitance, ±8 kV IEC 61000−4−2 contact discharge rating, and integrated VP–VN Zener clamping to eliminate external bypass capacitors. It protects USB2.0, HDMI, and Serial ATA interfaces in compact SOIC-8 footprint.
For engineers reviewing the CM1213-02SO datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include channel count (6), signal-line capacitance matching (0.02 pF typical), mutual capacitance (0.11 pF), clamp voltage (+8.8 V / −1.4 V at 1 A), and supply rail operating range (3.3 V to 5.5 V).
Technical Context
The CM1213-02SO implements dual-diode steering per channel-top and bottom diodes route positive/negative ESD transients to VP or VN rails-combined with an embedded Zener diode between VP and VN to clamp supply rail overvoltage and suppress transient-induced ground bounce. This architecture enables robust system-level ESD immunity without requiring external decoupling capacitance on VP.
It operates across −40 °C to +85 °C, supports 3.3 V and 5.5 V supply rails, delivers <±1.0 µA leakage at 5 V, and maintains stable 1.0 pF input capacitance across voltage and temperature-critical for preserving signal integrity in 480 Mbps USB2.0 and 1.65 Gbps DVI/HDMI links.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| ESD Rating | ±8 kV contact discharge per IEC 61000−4−2 Level 4 - ensures compliance with industrial and consumer ESD immunity requirements. |
| Channel Input Capacitance | 1.0 pF typical at 1 MHz - preserves signal rise/fall times in high-speed differential interfaces like USB2.0 and HDMI. |
| Capacitance Matching | 0.02 pF typical - minimizes skew between differential pairs, essential for maintaining common-mode rejection in high-speed links. |
| Clamp Voltage | +8.8 V / −1.4 V at 1 A (8/20 µs pulse) - limits transient overvoltage seen by downstream ICs during ESD events. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 3.3 V to 5.5 V (VP–VN) - compatible with standard logic I/O rails including USB PHY, HDMI TMDS, and SATA transceivers. |
| Leakage Current | ±1.0 µA max at 5 V - avoids DC loading of sensitive analog or reference inputs in protected circuits. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 0.7 Ω (positive), 0.4 Ω (negative) - lowers clamping voltage under fast-rising ESD pulses by reducing IR drop across protection path. |
Pinout & Package
CM1213-02SO is housed in an 8-lead SOIC package (Case 751AC), measuring 4.9 mm × 6.0 mm × 1.75 mm, with gull-wing leads and Pb-free RoHS-compliant finish.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | CH1 | I/O channel input - connects directly to protected signal line (e.g., USB D+, HDMI TMDS+). |
| 2 | CH2 | I/O channel input - second protected signal line, matched in capacitance and layout to CH1 for differential use. |
| 3 | VN | Negative supply rail - tied to system ground (0 V); forms return path for negative ESD current. |
| 4 | CH3 | I/O channel input - third protected line, supporting multi-lane interfaces such as USB2.0 (D+/D−) plus ID/VBUS sense. |
| 5 | CH4 | I/O channel input - fourth channel, enabling full protection of 4-lane interfaces like PCIe x1 or dual USB ports. |
| 6 | CH5 | I/O channel input - fifth channel, used for auxiliary signals (e.g., HDMI CEC, DDC clock/data) or additional data lanes. |
| 7 | VP | Positive supply rail - connected to local 3.3 V or 5 V rail; Zener clamps VP to prevent rail collapse during positive ESD strikes. |
| 8 | CH6 | I/O channel input - sixth channel, completing full protection set for 6-signal applications such as SATA TX/RX + AUX. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SP1003-02UTG | 4-channel, 0.35 pF typical capacitance, SOT-23-6 package - lower capacitance but fewer channels and no integrated Zener rail clamp. | Suitable for single differential pair protection only; requires external 0.1 µF VP bypass capacitor. | Select when ultra-low capacitance (<0.4 pF) is prioritized over channel count and supply rail self-protection. |
| TPD2E001DRYR | 2-channel, 1.0 pF typical capacitance, X2SON-6 package - same capacitance but lacks VP–VN Zener and supports only dual-line protection. | Limited to USB D+/D− or HDMI CEC/HEAC; cannot protect 6-line interfaces like SATA or multi-port USB hubs. | Choose for cost-sensitive, space-constrained dual-line applications where VP rail clamping is handled externally. |
Compared with SP1003-02UTG and TPD2E001DRYR, CM1213-02SO uniquely delivers six matched 1.0 pF channels with integrated VP–VN Zener clamping-enabling complete interface protection in one SOIC-8 device without external capacitors or layout compromises.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for CM1213-02SO?
The CM1213-02SO supports an operating supply voltage (VP − VN) up to 6.0 V, with recommended operation between 3.3 V and 5.5 V. Its absolute maximum rating ensures safe use in standard 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains, and its clamp voltage remains stable across this range-making CM1213-02SO suitable for mixed-voltage board designs without derating.
Does CM1213-02SO require an external bypass capacitor on the VP pin?
No, CM1213-02SO does not require an external bypass capacitor on VP due to its integrated Zener diode between VP and VN. This Zener clamps supply rail transients and absorbs positive ESD energy, eliminating the need for a discrete 0.22 µF ceramic capacitor-reducing bill-of-materials count and PCB real estate while maintaining IEC 61000−4−2 Level 4 compliance.
How many ESD strikes can CM1213-02SO withstand before degradation?
CM1213-02SO is rated for over 1000 ESD strikes per IEC 61000−4−2 Level 4 contact discharge (±8 kV), tested continuously at 1-second intervals. Post-test validation confirms all electrical parameters-including leakage, capacitance, and clamp voltage-remain within specification, confirming CM1213-02SO's suitability for high-reliability consumer and industrial end equipment.
Is CM1213-02SO compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, CM1213-02SO is Pb-free and RoHS-compliant, qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles per JEDEC J-STD-020. Its SOIC-8 package (Case 751AC) supports peak temperatures up to 260 °C for 30 seconds, ensuring robust manufacturability in modern SMT assembly lines without delamination or solder joint reliability issues.
What is the thermal performance of CM1213-02SO in continuous operation?
CM1213-02SO has a package power rating of 600 mW in the SOIC-8 configuration, with an operating temperature range of −40 °C to +85 °C. Its low dynamic resistance (0.4–0.7 Ω) and minimal leakage (<±1.0 µA) ensure negligible self-heating during normal signal transmission-making CM1213-02SO thermally stable in ambient environments typical of desktop PCs, set-top boxes, and portable media devices.
