Product details
Overview
CM1223-08MR from onsemi is an 8-channel ESD protection diode array with integrated backdrive protection, designed for high-speed data lines requiring ultra-low capacitive loading (1.0 pF typical per channel), ±8 kV IEC 61000−4−2 contact ESD immunity, and supply rail clamping via embedded Zener. It operates from 3.3 V to 5.5 V and is used in HDMI, USB 2.0, and SATA interfaces where signal integrity and robust transient suppression are critical.
For engineers reviewing the CM1223-08MR datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include channel count (8), input capacitance (1.0 pF typ), clamp voltage (+8.8 V / −1.4 V at 1 A), backdrive current blocking (<5 µA leakage), and MSOP-10 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The CM1223-08MR implements a dual-diode steering architecture per channel-steering positive transients to VP and negative transients to VN-combined with an integrated Zener between VP and VN to absorb supply-rail ESD strikes. Its backdrive protection diode prevents reverse current flow from powered downstream devices into unpowered upstream rails.
It delivers matched channel capacitance (0.02 pF typical difference) and low mutual coupling (0.11 pF typical between adjacent pins), enabling use on differential high-speed buses like HDMI and USB 2.0 without skew or crosstalk degradation. The device supports operation across −40 °C to +85 °C with no external bypass capacitors required due to internal Zener stabilization.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| ESD Protection Level | ±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 integrity up to 480 Mbps (USB 2.0) and 1.65 Gbps (HDMI 1.3) |
| Clamp Voltage (Positive) | +8.8 V at 1 A, 8/20 µs pulse - limits voltage overshoot during ESD events to protect downstream 3.3 V/5 V logic |
| Clamp Voltage (Negative) | −1.4 V at 1 A, 8/20 µs pulse - prevents negative rail collapse and latch-up in CMOS receivers |
| Supply Voltage Range (VP–VN) | 3.3 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard logic I/O domains including USB, HDMI, and SATA |
| Leakage Current | ±0.1 µA typical at 5 V - negligible DC loading on high-impedance signal paths |
| Dynamic Resistance | 0.7 Ω (positive), 0.4 Ω (negative) - enables fast energy dissipation and low-voltage clamping under surge conditions |
Pinout & Package
CM1223-08MR is housed in a lead-free MSOP-10 package (3.0 mm × 3.0 mm × 0.85 mm), optimized for space-constrained high-speed interface routing. Pin assignment follows the 8-channel configuration with dedicated VP and VN supply rails and no NC pins.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | CH1 | I/O channel 1 - bidirectional ESD protection path for first high-speed signal line |
| 2 | CH2 | I/O channel 2 - independent protection node with matched capacitance to CH1 |
| 3 | CH3 | I/O channel 3 - supports differential pair routing with <0.02 pF inter-channel capacitance mismatch |
| 4 | CH4 | I/O channel 4 - enables full-lane protection for 4-lane interfaces such as mini-SATA or DVI |
| 5 | VN | Negative supply rail - common ground reference for all negative ESD current steering paths |
| 6 | CH5 | I/O channel 5 - extends protection to second differential pair or auxiliary control line |
| 7 | CH6 | I/O channel 6 - maintains <0.11 pF mutual capacitance to adjacent pins for minimal crosstalk |
| 8 | VP | Positive supply rail - clamped by internal Zener; eliminates need for external bulk capacitor |
| 9 | CH7 | I/O channel 7 - supports 7-wire configurations (e.g., HDMI TMDS+CEC+HEAC) |
| 10 | CH8 | I/O channel 8 - completes full 8-channel coverage for PCIe x4, DisplayPort, or multi-lane USB-C applications |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated backdrive protection | Blocks reverse current flow from powered downstream devices (e.g., TV to off-state DVD player), limiting I/O pin current to <5 µA when VIN > VP |
| Ultra-low and matched input capacitance | 1.0 pF typical per channel with 0.02 pF max mismatch - preserves eye diagram integrity on 480 Mbps USB 2.0 and 1.65 Gbps HDMI links |
| Zener-supplied rail clamping | Embedded Zener between VP and VN absorbs positive ESD strikes on supply rail - removes requirement for external 10 µF bypass capacitor |
| Differential-signal optimization | 0.11 pF typical mutual capacitance between adjacent signal pins - minimizes skew and jitter in differential pairs (e.g., HDMI TMDS) |
| High ESD endurance | Withstands >1000 IEC 61000−4−2 ±8 kV contact discharges per channel - supports long-term field reliability in frequently connected peripherals |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CM1213-08MR | Lacks integrated backdrive protection diode; no Zener between VP and VN; higher leakage (±1.0 µA) | Not suitable for systems with mixed-power-state interconnects (e.g., HDMI sink powering source); requires external bypass capacitor | Select CM1223-08MR when backdrive blocking and rail clamping are mandatory - e.g., in portable displays or removable storage docks |
| TPD2E001DRYR | 2-channel only; 1.2 pF typical capacitance; no VP/VN rail clamping; uses separate GND/VCC pins instead of VN/VP | Requires four devices for 8-channel coverage; increases PCB area and parasitic inductance; unsuitable for supply-rail ESD absorption | Choose CM1223-08MR for single-package 8-channel integration, lower capacitance, and self-contained rail protection - critical for space- and performance-constrained designs |
Compared with CM1213-08MR and TPD2E001DRYR, CM1223-08MR uniquely combines 8-channel protection, sub-1 pF loading, integrated backdrive blocking, and Zener-based VP–VN clamping in one MSOP-10 package - delivering superior signal fidelity and system-level ESD robustness without layout or BOM trade-offs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage range for CM1223-08MR?
The CM1223-08MR supports an operating supply voltage range of 3.3 V to 5.5 V between VP and VN pins. This range aligns with standard I/O domains used in USB 2.0, HDMI, and SATA interfaces. Exceeding 6.0 V (absolute maximum rating) risks permanent damage. The device functions reliably across −40 °C to +85 °C ambient temperatures, making it suitable for both consumer and industrial environments where CM1223-08MR is deployed.
Does CM1223-08MR require external bypass capacitors on VP or VN?
No, CM1223-08MR does not require external bypass capacitors. Its integrated Zener diode between VP and VN provides internal clamping and stabilizes the supply rail during ESD events. This design eliminates the need for discrete 10 µF ceramic capacitors typically used with unprotected arrays, reducing BOM count and PCB footprint. The absence of external caps also avoids resonance-related signal integrity issues - a key advantage confirmed in CM1223-08MR's application notes and performance curves.
How does the backdrive protection in CM1223-08MR function?
CM1223-08MR incorporates a dedicated backdrive protection diode between VP and VN that blocks reverse current flow from a powered downstream device (e.g., active HDMI display) into an unpowered upstream source (e.g., off-state laptop). When an I/O pin voltage exceeds VP, the diode remains reverse-biased, limiting leakage to <5 µA. This prevents unintended charging of upstream bulk capacitance and ensures proper power-on-reset behavior - a verified capability documented in CM1223-08MR's backdrive protection section and test methodology.
Can CM1223-08MR be used on differential signal pairs like HDMI TMDS?
Yes, CM1223-08MR is explicitly optimized for differential high-speed interfaces. Its 0.02 pF typical channel-to-channel capacitance mismatch and 0.11 pF mutual capacitance between adjacent pins minimize skew and crosstalk. Each TMDS lane (clock, data0–2) can be protected using two dedicated channels (e.g., CH1/CH2 for D0+ and D0−), preserving differential impedance and eye opening - validated in CM1223-08MR's insertion loss plots and application examples for HDMI 1.3+ compliance.
What is the ESD endurance rating of CM1223-08MR per channel?
CM1223-08MR is rated to withstand over 1000 IEC 61000−4−2 ±8 kV contact discharge events per channel without performance degradation. This endurance level is verified through accelerated life testing per onsemi's qualification standards and reflects real-world durability in frequently connected peripherals like USB cables, HDMI dongles, and SATA drives. The robustness directly contributes to field-reliability targets for products incorporating CM1223-08MR in their interface protection strategy.
