Product details
Overview
CM1248-04QG from onsemi is a low-capacitance ESD protection diode array designed for high-speed data lines, featuring 10 pF I/O capacitance at 0 V, ±15 kV contact ESD immunity per IEC 61000-4-2, and 5.5 V reverse standoff voltage; it protects four bidirectional signal paths in space-constrained USB 2.0, HDMI, or MHL interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the CM1248-04QG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include channel capacitance ≤10 pF, ESD robustness ≥±15 kV contact, leakage current <0.75 µA at 5 V, and uDFN-6 package compatibility with fine-pitch layout requirements.
Technical Context
This device implements a quad-channel unidirectional ESD protection architecture with common-anode (VN) configuration, where each CHx pin serves as cathode for transient clamping to ground. It operates across −40°C to +85°C and maintains stable capacitance down to 0.19 pF differential at 2.5 V bias.
The diode array delivers fast response to ESD transients via low dynamic resistance (0.57 Ω forward, 1.36 Ω reverse) and clamps positive surges to 6.8 V and negative surges to −0.89 V at 10 mA, enabling reliable protection without signal distortion in high-bandwidth interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| I/O Capacitance | 10 pF at 0 V - preserves signal integrity on USB 2.0/480 Mbps and HDMI 1.4a channels |
| ESD Withstand Voltage | ±15 kV contact discharge - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 for system-level ESD immunity |
| Reverse Stand-off Voltage | 5.5 V - ensures no conduction during normal 5 V or 3.3 V signal operation |
| Leakage Current | 0.75 µA max at 5 V - avoids loading of high-impedance receivers in portable devices |
| Clamp Voltage (Positive) | 6.8 V at 10 mA - limits voltage overshoot below IC absolute maximum ratings |
| Clamp Voltage (Negative) | −0.89 V at −10 mA - prevents negative excursion beyond receiver input range |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - supports industrial and consumer end equipment deployment |
Pinout & Package
CM1248-04QG is housed in a 6-pin uDFN package (Case 517BM), measuring 1.25 mm × 1.00 mm × 0.40 mm with 0.4 mm pitch and exposed thermal pad. The compact footprint enables placement adjacent to connectors in ultra-thin mobile designs.

| Pin 2 (VN) | Common anode node | Must be connected to system ground; serves as return path for all four ESD channels |
| Pin 3 (CH2) | Cathode of Channel 2 ESD diode | Connected to protected signal line 2; shares VN with CH1–CH4 for coordinated clamping |
| Pin 4 (CH3) | Cathode of Channel 3 ESD diode | Connected to protected signal line 3; enables independent routing while sharing ground reference |
| Pin 5 (VN) | Common anode node (duplicate) | Second VN terminal for improved grounding continuity and lower inductance path to GND |
| Pin 6 (CH4) | Cathode of Channel 4 ESD diode | Connected to protected signal line 4; completes quad-channel protection set for differential pairs |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPD4E001DRYR | 12 pF typical capacitance; ±12 kV contact ESD rating; same uDFN-6 package | Slightly higher capacitance may limit use in >480 Mbps interfaces; lower ESD margin requires tighter system-level margining | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs marginal bandwidth loss and ESD headroom reduction |
| ESD5451N-2/TR | 6.5 V VRWM; 0.5 pF typical capacitance; SOT-563 package (larger footprint) | Lower capacitance suits 10 Gbps+ interfaces but larger SOT-563 complicates ultra-dense layouts | Selected when ultra-low capacitance is critical and board space allows 2.1 mm × 1.35 mm footprint |
Compared with TPD4E001DRYR and ESD5451N-2/TR, the CM1248-04QG offers optimal balance of 10 pF capacitance, ±15 kV ESD rating, and 1.25 mm × 1.00 mm uDFN-6 size-making it ideal for USB 2.0 and HDMI 1.4a implementations where layout density and system-level ESD pass-fail margin are both constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the CM1248-04QG?
The CM1248-04QG is rated for continuous operation from −40°C to +85°C, as specified in Table 3 of its official datasheet. This range supports deployment in consumer handhelds, automotive infotainment displays, and industrial HMIs where ambient temperatures vary widely. Thermal performance remains stable across this span, with no derating required for ESD clamping voltage or leakage current.
Does the CM1248-04QG support bidirectional signal protection?
Yes, the CM1248-04QG provides bidirectional ESD protection through its common-anode architecture: each CHx pin functions as a cathode for positive transients and leverages the internal diode junction for negative clamping to VN. This enables full protection of AC-coupled differential signals like USB D+/D− without polarity constraints, confirmed by its ±15 kV IEC 61000-4-2 rating.
How many ESD strike cycles can the CM1248-04QG withstand per channel?
The CM1248-04QG is characterized to withstand over 1000 ESD strikes per I/O pin under IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge conditions, as stated in its features list. This endurance is verified at ±15 kV and ensures long-term reliability in manufacturing environments and end-user handling scenarios without degradation in clamping voltage or leakage performance.
What is the significance of the dual VN pins (Pins 2 and 5) on the CM1248-04QG?
The dual VN pins (Pins 2 and 5) on the CM1248-04QG provide redundant low-inductance paths to system ground, reducing impedance in the ESD current return path during transient events. This design lowers overall clamping impedance and improves consistency across all four channels, especially critical in high-frequency applications such as HDMI and MHL where ground bounce could compromise protection effectiveness.
Is the CM1248-04QG RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the CM1248-04QG is Pb-free and fully RoHS compliant, as explicitly stated in its features and marking diagram documentation. It uses standard SnAgCu (SAC305) solder compatibility and conforms to JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1), enabling standard reflow profiles without special handling requirements.
