Product details

Overview

CM1216-08MR from onsemi is an 8-channel low-capacitance ESD protection array designed for high-speed data lines, offering ±15 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact ESD protection per channel, 1.6 pF typical channel input capacitance, and mutual capacitance of 0.13 pF. It is used in HDMI, DVI, and Serial ATA interfaces where minimal signal distortion and robust transient suppression are required.

For engineers reviewing the CM1216-08MR datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include channel count (8), I/O-to-GND capacitance matching (0.04 pF typical), clamp voltage (+9.0 V / −1.5 V at 1 A), dynamic resistance (0.6 Ω positive / 0.4 Ω negative), and MSOP-10 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.

Technical Context

The CM1216-08MR implements a dual-diode steering architecture per channel-each I/O pin connects to both VP (positive rail) and VN (negative rail) via series diodes-to divert ESD transients to supply rails. It operates within a 3.3 V to 5.5 V supply range and requires a 0.22 µF ceramic bypass capacitor between VP and VN for optimal clamping performance.

Its design targets systems where parasitic inductance must be minimized: layout guidelines specify placement adjacent to connectors and short traces to VP/VN, as even 10 nH of inductance can elevate clamp voltage by 300 V during a 30 A/1 ns ESD pulse. The device is not internally zener-clamped between VP and VN (unlike CM1213), relying instead on external bypassing.

Key Specifications

ParameterValue and Actual Design Meaning
ESD Protection Level±15 kV per IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge-ensures compliance with industrial and consumer ESD immunity requirements without external components.
Channel Input Capacitance1.6 pF typical at 1 MHz-preserves signal integrity on USB2.0, HDMI, and SATA links operating up to 3 Gbps.
Mutual Capacitance0.13 pF typical-minimizes crosstalk between adjacent channels in tightly spaced high-speed routing.
Clamp Voltage (Positive)+9.0 V at 1 A, 8/20 µs-limits voltage overshoot on protected lines during fast transients, reducing risk of downstream IC damage.
Clamp Voltage (Negative)−1.5 V at 1 A, 8/20 µs-prevents reverse-bias overstress on receivers tied to ground-referenced inputs.
Dynamic Resistance0.6 Ω (positive), 0.4 Ω (negative)-low impedance path ensures rapid energy dissipation and stable clamping under repetitive ESD events.
Supply Voltage Range3.3 V to 5.5 V-supports direct integration into 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level-shifting circuitry.

Pinout & Package

CM1216-08MR is housed in a 10-pin MSOP package (Case 846AE), 3 mm × 3 mm footprint, 0.5 mm pitch, with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin 1 is CH1; pins 9 and 10 are CH7 and CH8 respectively; VP (pin 8) and VN (pin 5) require low-inductance connection to respective supply rails.

Pin/TerminalCircuit RoleDesign Meaning
CH1–CH8I/OEight bidirectional ESD protection channels-each connects to system signal line and routes transients to VP or VN via internal diode pairs.
VNGNDNegative supply rail terminal-must be connected directly to system ground plane with minimal trace length to reduce inductive voltage rise during negative ESD events.
VPPWRPositive supply rail terminal-requires 0.22 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin 8 to stabilize clamping and suppress rail bounce.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating voltage for CM1216-08MR?

The CM1216-08MR supports an operating supply voltage range of 3.3 V to 5.5 V between VP and VN pins, as specified in Table 4 of the official datasheet. This range ensures compatibility with standard 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains. Exceeding 5.5 V may damage the internal diode structure. The absolute maximum rating for VP–VN is 6 V, but sustained operation above 5.5 V is not recommended. CM1216-08MR must be biased within this window to maintain specified clamp voltage and leakage current performance.

Does CM1216-08MR include internal Zener clamping between VP and VN?

No, CM1216-08MR does not integrate a Zener diode between VP and VN. Unlike the CM1213, it relies entirely on external bypassing-specifically a 0.22 µF ceramic capacitor between VP and VN-to stabilize rail voltage during ESD events. This design choice reduces part count but places layout responsibility on the designer to minimize inductance in the VP/VN loop. CM1216-08MR's clamping action occurs solely through its channel diodes steering current to VP or VN.

Can CM1216-08MR protect differential high-speed signals like HDMI TMDS pairs?

Yes, CM1216-08MR is explicitly validated for HDMI TMDS protection, as confirmed in its Applications section and design notes. Each channel protects one signal line (e.g., TMDS Data0+), with matched 0.04 pF capacitance ensuring balanced loading across differential pairs. Its 1.6 pF typical input capacitance and 0.13 pF mutual capacitance preserve signal integrity up to 3 Gbps. CM1216-08MR must be placed per-lane, with VP and VN shared across all eight channels, and bypassed with a low-ESR 0.22 µF capacitor.

What is the recommended PCB layout practice for CM1216-08MR?

Place CM1216-08MR as close as possible to the connector-ideally within 5 mm-to minimize unprotected trace length. Route I/O traces directly to connector pins with no stubs. Connect VP (pin 8) and VN (pin 5) to their respective supply planes using multiple vias and keep traces under 2 mm. Mount the 0.22 µF ceramic capacitor between VP and VN with trace lengths <1 mm. Avoid routing other signals near the VP/VN loop. These practices prevent inductive voltage overshoot-e.g., 10 nH of inductance can add 300 V to clamp voltage during a 30 A/ns ESD pulse. CM1216-08MR performance depends critically on this layout discipline.

Is CM1216-08MR compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations?

Yes, CM1216-08MR is Pb-free and RoHS compliant, as stated in the "Features" section of the datasheet and confirmed in the ordering information (MR suffix denotes Pb-free MSOP package). It meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS 2) and associated substance restrictions under REACH Annex XVII. The device uses matte tin lead finish and halogen-free molding compound. Full compliance documentation-including test reports and declarations-is available from onsemi's quality portal. CM1216-08MR is suitable for export to EU, UK, and other regulated markets requiring full environmental conformance.
