Product details
Overview
CM1248-08DE from onsemi is an 8-channel low-capacitance ESD protection diode array designed for high-speed data lines. It delivers 10 pF typical input capacitance at 0 V, ±15 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact ESD protection, and 5.5 V reverse standoff voltage, enabling robust transient suppression in USB 2.0, HDMI, and MIPI interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the CM1248-08DE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include channel count (8), ultra-low capacitance (≤15 pF), IEC-compliant ESD rating, VN-anode common configuration, and uDFN-8 package footprint compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The CM1248-08DE integrates eight unidirectional TVS diodes with a shared anode (VN) and individual cathodes (CH1–CH8), forming a common-anode array optimized for bidirectional signal line protection. Its architecture supports simultaneous clamping of multiple high-speed I/Os without inter-channel coupling.
It operates across −40°C to +85°C, maintains ≤0.75 µA leakage at 5.0 V, and achieves 6.8 V positive clamp voltage at 10 mA, ensuring minimal signal distortion during ESD events while preserving signal integrity in differential and single-ended applications.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection array applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPD8S300DR | 8-channel, 12 pF typical capacitance, ±12 kV IEC 61000-4-2, SOIC-8 package (4.9 mm × 3.9 mm) | Larger footprint; lower ESD rating; higher capacitance limits use in >200 Mbps links | Preferred where board space allows and legacy SOIC assembly is required |
| ESD8008MUTAG | 8-channel, 15 pF typical capacitance, ±15 kV IEC 61000-4-2, uDFN-8 (1.6 mm × 1.6 mm) | Slightly larger capacitance; identical package size; same ESD rating but higher leakage (1.5 µA) | Valid alternative when minor capacitance increase is acceptable and supply chain diversification is needed |
Compared with TPD8S300DR and ESD8008MUTAG, the CM1248-08DE offers the lowest capacitance (10 pF) in the smallest uDFN-8 footprint (1.7 mm × 1.35 mm), making it optimal for next-generation high-speed, space-constrained interfaces requiring strict signal integrity control.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the CM1248-08DE?
The CM1248-08DE is an 8-channel unidirectional ESD protection diode array with a common anode (VN). Its primary function is to safeguard high-speed data lines-such as USB 2.0, HDMI, and MIPI-from electrostatic discharge transients up to ±15 kV per IEC 61000-4-2, while maintaining signal integrity via ultra-low 10 pF input capacitance.
How is the VN pin used in the CM1248-08DE circuit implementation?
The VN pin on the CM1248-08DE serves as the common anode connection for all eight internal ESD diodes. It must be connected directly to a low-impedance ground reference-typically the system ground plane-to provide a low-resistance return path for clamped ESD current. Improper grounding of VN compromises clamping performance and may cause damage during surge events.
Does the CM1248-08DE support bidirectional signal lines like USB D+ and D−?
Yes, the CM1248-08DE supports bidirectional high-speed signals such as USB D+ and D− through its unidirectional diode architecture: each CHx pin connects to one signal line, and transients are clamped to VN (ground). For true bidirectional protection, VN is grounded, allowing both positive and negative transients to be suppressed-verified by its ±15 kV IEC 61000-4-2 rating and −0.89 V negative clamp voltage at 10 mA.
What is the thermal requirement for the DAP pad on the CM1248-08DE?
The DAP (die attach pad) on the CM1248-08DE is an exposed thermal pad on the underside of the uDFN-8 package. It must be soldered to a dedicated PCB thermal pad connected to inner-layer ground planes via ≥4 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter, spaced ≤1 mm apart) to ensure effective heat dissipation during ESD events and maintain long-term reliability of the CM1248-08DE under repeated surge conditions.
Can the CM1248-08DE replace older ESD arrays like the NUP4201MR6T1G in new designs?
The CM1248-08DE is not a direct replacement for the NUP4201MR6T1G due to fundamental differences: the NUP4201MR6T1G is a 4-channel device in SOT-23-6, while the CM1248-08DE provides 8 channels in uDFN-8. However, for new designs targeting higher channel density, smaller footprint, and lower capacitance, the CM1248-08DE offers superior performance-especially in USB 2.0 and MIPI applications where its 10 pF capacitance and ±15 kV rating exceed the NUP4201MR6T1G's specifications.
