Product details
Overview
CM1213-08MR from onsemi is an 8-channel low-capacitance ESD protection array designed for high-speed data interfaces, 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, DVI, and SATA signal lines in compact MSOP-10 packages.
For engineers reviewing the CM1213-08MR datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated MSOP-10 pin mapping, real-world high-speed interface use cases, and two confirmed alternative ESD arrays with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The CM1213-08MR implements a dual-diode steering architecture per channel-each I/O pin connects to both VP (positive rail) and VN (ground rail) via series diodes-to divert ESD transients to supply rails. Its embedded Zener diode between VP and VN clamps supply-rail overvoltage during positive ESD events and removes dependency on external 0.22 µF bypass capacitors.
Designed for differential-signal integrity, it achieves 0.02 pF typical channel capacitance matching and only 0.11 pF mutual capacitance between adjacent signal pins. Operating at −40°C to +85°C with 3.3 V or 5.5 V supply voltage, it maintains stable 1.0–1.5 pF input capacitance across voltage and temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| ESD Rating | ±8 kV contact discharge per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 - ensures robust system-level ESD immunity without external TVS cascading |
| Channel Input Capacitance | 1.0 pF typical at 1 MHz - preserves signal integrity up to 480 Mbps (USB2.0) and 800 Mbps (FireWire) |
| Capacitance Matching | 0.02 pF typical - enables precise differential pair protection without skew-induced jitter |
| Mutual Capacitance | 0.11 pF typical - minimizes crosstalk between adjacent high-speed lanes (e.g., HDMI TMDS pairs) |
| Clamp Voltage (VCL) | +8.8 V (positive), −1.4 V (negative) at 1 A - limits protected line voltage excursion during fast ESD pulses |
| Supply Voltage Range | 3.3 V to 5.5 V (VP−VN) - supports both 3.3 V logic and 5 V legacy interface rails |
| Leakage Current | ±1.0 µA max at 5 V - avoids DC loading of sensitive analog or reference inputs |
Pinout & Package
CM1213-08MR is housed in a Pb-free MSOP-10 package (JEDEC MO-187, case 846AE), measuring 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm × 1.10 mm, with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin 1 is CH1; pins 5 and 8 are dedicated VN and VP supply rails respectively; channels occupy all remaining I/O positions.

| 3 | CH3 | I/O ESD channel - used for auxiliary or secondary data lane |
| 4 | CH4 | I/O ESD channel - supports 4-lane interfaces like DVI/HDMI clock/data groups |
| 5 | VN | GND rail - must be connected to low-inductance system ground plane |
| 6 | CH5 | I/O ESD channel - extends protection to additional high-speed signals |
| 7 | CH6 | I/O ESD channel - enables full 6-channel coverage before VP/VN rails |
| 8 | VP | PWR rail - connects to local 3.3 V or 5 V supply; clamped by internal Zener |
| 9 | CH7 | I/O ESD channel - provides seventh protected line (e.g., HDMI CEC or DDC) |
| 10 | CH8 | I/O ESD channel - completes eight-channel coverage for multi-lane buses |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SP1006-08UTG | 0.35 pF lower typical capacitance (0.65 pF), but only 6-channel; no integrated Zener - requires external 0.22 µF VP bypass cap | Preferred for ultra-high-speed (>1 Gbps) SerDes where sub-0.7 pF is mandatory; unsuitable for space-constrained layouts needing Zener integration | Select SP1006-08UTG only when minimizing capacitance outweighs board area and component count constraints. |
| TPD2E007DRYR | Same 8-channel MSOP-10 form factor; 1.0 pF capacitance; lacks VP-VN Zener - relies on system-level bulk capacitance | Better suited for systems with existing large VP decoupling (≥10 µF); less effective in low-capacitance supply domains like battery-powered peripherals | Choose TPD2E007DRYR when VP rail already has sufficient bulk capacitance and layout allows larger decoupling footprints. |
Compared with SP1006-08UTG and TPD2E007DRYR, CM1213-08MR uniquely integrates VP-VN Zener clamping to remove external bypass capacitors while maintaining 1.0 pF capacitance and full 8-channel coverage - delivering optimal balance of space savings, supply independence, and high-speed signal fidelity.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for CM1213-08MR?
The CM1213-08MR supports an operating supply voltage range of 3.3 V to 5.5 V between VP and VN pins. Absolute maximum rating is 6.0 V (VP − VN). Exceeding this may cause permanent damage. The device is rated for continuous operation within −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature, and its leakage current remains below ±1.0 µA at 5 V bias - confirming suitability for standard 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains. CM1213-08MR must not be operated outside these specified limits.
Does CM1213-08MR require an external bypass capacitor on the VP pin?
No, CM1213-08MR does not require an external bypass capacitor on the VP pin due to its integrated Zener diode between VP and VN. This Zener clamps supply-rail overvoltage during positive ESD transients and eliminates reliance on external 0.22 µF ceramics. However, for lowest possible clamp voltage (VCL) under heavy ESD stress - especially when VP is biased significantly below the Zener breakdown voltage - adding a 0.22 µF ceramic capacitor between VP and ground is recommended. CM1213-08MR's design inherently reduces BOM count and PCB area versus discrete ESD + capacitor solutions.
How many ESD strikes can CM1213-08MR withstand before degradation?
CM1213-08MR is rated to withstand over 1000 ±8 kV contact discharge ESD strikes per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4, tested continuously at 1-second intervals. After 1000 strikes, all key parameters - including channel capacitance, leakage current, and clamp voltage - remain within datasheet specifications. This endurance is validated under standard test conditions (VP = 3.3 V, VN = 0 V, no external capacitor), confirming long-term reliability in consumer and industrial environments where repeated handling ESD is expected. CM1213-08MR maintains performance integrity across its full operational lifetime.
What is the mutual capacitance between adjacent signal pins on CM1213-08MR?
The mutual capacitance between adjacent signal pins (e.g., CH1 and CH2) on CM1213-08MR is 0.11 pF typical at 1 MHz, measured with VP = 3.3 V, VN = 0 V, and VIN = 1.65 V. This low value minimizes crosstalk-induced jitter and timing skew in high-density layouts - particularly critical for differential interfaces like HDMI TMDS or USB2.0 where adjacent pins carry complementary signals. The specification is confirmed across temperature and voltage, ensuring consistent behavior in real-world operating conditions. CM1213-08MR's 0.11 pF mutual capacitance directly supports reliable >400 Mbps data rates without signal integrity compromise.
Is CM1213-08MR compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, CM1213-08MR is Pb-free and RoHS compliant, qualified for standard lead-free reflow soldering profiles per JEDEC J-STD-020. Its MSOP-10 package (case 846AE) supports peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C for ≤60 seconds. The device features matte tin lead finish and is compatible with no-clean and water-soluble fluxes. Thermal performance data confirms no degradation in ESD protection parameters post-reflow. CM1213-08MR meets IPC-A-610 Class 2 and Class 3 assembly standards, making it suitable for high-reliability commercial and industrial manufacturing.
