Product details
Overview
CM1293A-02SR from onsemi is a 2-channel low-capacitance ESD protection array designed for high-speed data lines including USB2.0, HDMI, and DVI interfaces. It delivers ±8 kV IEC 61000−4−2 contact discharge protection, features 2.0 pF max channel input capacitance, 1.5 pF typical I/O-to-I/O capacitance, and integrated Zener clamping between VP and VN rails to protect supply voltage integrity without external bypass capacitors.
For engineers reviewing the CM1293A-02SR datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include low signal-line loading (<2.0 pF), rail-clamped ESD response (VCL = +9.9 V / −1.6 V at 1 A), robust 1000-strike endurance, SOT143-4 footprint compatibility, and operation across −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The CM1293A-02SR implements a dual-diode steering architecture per channel: one diode steers positive ESD transients to VP, the other steers negative transients to VN. An embedded Zener diode between VP and VN clamps supply rail excursions during ESD events, eliminating need for external bulk decoupling.
Each I/O channel exhibits dynamic resistance of 0.96 Ω (positive) and 0.5 Ω (negative) under 1 A, 8/20 µs pulse conditions, enabling fast transient suppression. Leakage current remains ≤±1.0 µA at 5 V bias, ensuring minimal impact on high-impedance signal paths in USB/HDMI receivers and transmitters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| ESD Rating | ±8 kV contact discharge per IEC 61000−4−2 Level 4 - ensures compliance with industrial and consumer ESD immunity requirements. |
| Channel Input Capacitance | 2.0 pF max at 1 MHz - preserves signal integrity on 480 Mbps USB2.0 and 1.65 Gbps DVI links with negligible insertion loss. |
| I/O-to-I/O Capacitance | 1.5 pF typical - minimizes crosstalk between adjacent high-speed lanes in compact port layouts. |
| Clamp Voltage (VCL) | +9.9 V (positive), −1.6 V (negative) at 1 A - limits protected line voltage excursion to safe levels for 3.3 V and 5 V interface ICs. |
| Operating Voltage Range | VP − VN = 3.3 V to 5.5 V - supports standard logic supply rails without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Leakage Current | ±1.0 µA max at 5 V - avoids DC loading errors in precision analog or high-Z digital receiver inputs. |
| Package Power Rating | 225 mW (SOT143-4) - enables continuous operation in thermally constrained PCB areas near connectors. |
Pinout & Package
SOT143-4 (Case 318A), Pb-free, surface-mount package with 1.92 mm × 2.80 mm footprint and 0.95 mm height - optimized for placement directly at board edge connectors.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VN | GND reference rail | Low-inductance return path for negative ESD current; must be connected to system ground plane with minimal trace length. |
| 2 - CH1 | Protected I/O channel | Input/output line requiring bidirectional ESD protection; connects directly to connector pin or high-speed IC pad. |
| 3 - CH2 | Protected I/O channel | Second independent high-speed data line (e.g., USB D+, D− or HDMI TMDS+/- pair leg). |
| 4 - VP | Positive supply rail | Bias source for internal steering diodes and Zener clamp; requires local 0.22 µF ceramic capacitor to ground for optimal clamping. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Zener-supplied rail clamping | Eliminates need for external VP–GND bypass capacitor in most applications, reducing BOM count and PCB area. |
| 2.0 pF max channel capacitance | Enables use on 480 Mbps USB2.0 and 1.65 Gbps DVI channels without measurable signal degradation. |
| 1000+ ESD strike endurance | Guarantees long-term reliability in field-deployed equipment subjected to repeated handling and environmental discharge events. |
| Low dynamic resistance (0.5–0.96 Ω) | Ensures rapid energy diversion during sub-nanosecond ESD rise times, limiting voltage overshoot on protected lines. |
| Pb-free, RoHS-compliant construction | Meets global environmental regulations and supports lead-free reflow soldering profiles (J-STD-020). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPD2E001DRYR (Texas Instruments) | 2-channel, 1.0 pF typical CIN, ±12 kV IEC 61000−4−2, SOT-5X3 (1.6 mm × 1.6 mm) | Lower capacitance but smaller package; requires tighter layout control due to reduced thermal mass and higher sensitivity to trace inductance. | Select when ultra-low 1.0 pF loading is mandatory for >5 Gbps interfaces; verify VP/VN decoupling meets TI's 0.1 µF requirement. |
| ESD5Z3.3T5G (onsemi) | Single-channel, 0.65 pF CIN, ±12 kV IEC 61000−4−2, SOD-523 (1.2 mm × 0.8 mm) | Higher ESD rating but discrete per-channel implementation increases component count and layout complexity for multi-lane ports. | Choose for space-constrained single-line protection where footprint is prioritized over channel integration; not suitable for dual-lane co-location. |
Compared with TPD2E001DRYR and ESD5Z3.3T5G, the CM1293A-02SR offers balanced performance: its 2.0 pF capacitance and ±8 kV rating target mainstream USB/HDMI applications, its SOT143-4 package provides superior thermal dissipation versus micro-SMD alternatives, and its integrated VP–VN Zener simplifies power rail protection without external components.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for CM1293A-02SR?
The CM1293A-02SR supports an operating supply voltage range of VP − VN = 3.3 V to 5.5 V, with absolute maximum rating of 6.0 V. This allows direct integration into standard 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without external level translation, and ensures reliable operation across industrial temperature ranges (−40°C to +85°C).
Does CM1293A-02SR require an external capacitor on the VP pin?
The CM1293A-02SR integrates a Zener diode between VP and VN to clamp supply rail excursions during ESD events, eliminating the need for external bypass capacitors in many designs. However, for lowest possible clamp voltage-especially when VP is biased significantly below the Zener breakdown voltage-a 0.22 µF ceramic capacitor between VP and ground is recommended per onsemi application guidance.
How many ESD strikes can CM1293A-02SR withstand before degradation?
The CM1293A-02SR is rated to withstand over 1000 ESD strikes at ±8 kV contact discharge (IEC 61000−4−2 Level 4), tested under standard conditions with 1-second intervals and continuous 1000-pulse runs. Post-test verification confirms all electrical parameters remain within specification, validating long-term reliability in high-touch environments.
What is the channel-to-channel capacitance of CM1293A-02SR?
The CM1293A-02SR exhibits 1.5 pF typical capacitance between CH1 and CH2 (I/O-to-I/O), measured at 1 MHz with VP = 3.3 V and VN = 0 V. This low inter-channel coupling minimizes crosstalk in tightly spaced high-speed differential pairs such as USB D+/D− or HDMI TMDS+/- legs.
Is CM1293A-02SR compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the CM1293A-02SR is Pb-free and RoHS-compliant, qualified for standard lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020. Its SOT143-4 package (Case 318A) supports peak temperatures up to 260°C, making it suitable for automated assembly in modern electronics manufacturing lines.
