Diodes Incorporated D6V3H1U2LP16-7

Overview

D6V3H1U2LP16-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a single-channel unidirectional TVS diode designed for ESD protection of high-speed data lines in portable electronics. It delivers 6.5V minimum breakdown voltage, ±30kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact/air ESD immunity, 90A peak pulse current (8/20µs), 800pF typical channel capacitance, and operates within –55°C to +150°C ambient range - deployed in cellular handset USB/USB-C, camera sensor interfaces, and audio jack ESD clamping circuits.

For engineers reviewing the D6V3H1U2LP16-7 datasheet, D6V3H1U2LP16-7 pinout, D6V3H1U2LP16-7 application, or D6V3H1U2LP16-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include low-input-capacitance transient suppression, U-DFN1610-2 (Type B) package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts, thermal derating above 25°C, and compliance with RoHS, halogen-free, and antimony-free "Green" requirements.

Technical Context

This TVS diode uses a silicon avalanche structure optimized for fast response (<1 ns) to ESD transients while maintaining low dynamic resistance (0.05Ω TLP @10A). Its unidirectional configuration provides clamping only on positive transients relative to ground, with reverse standoff voltage rated at 6.3V and clamping voltage as low as 8.7V at 10A (8/20µs).

The device is characterized for operation across –55°C to +150°C, with power dissipation derated linearly above +25°C (250°C/W θ_JA on FR-4, 2oz Cu). Junction capacitance remains stable at ~800pF (VR = 0V, f = 1MHz), enabling use on signal lines up to ~100 MHz without significant attenuation.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating temperature for D6V3H1U2LP16-7?

The device supports continuous operation from –55°C to +150°C junction temperature. Its thermal resistance (θ_JA) is 250°C/W on standard FR-4 with 2oz copper, meaning ambient temperature must be limited to +100°C at 500mW dissipation to maintain safe junction conditions per Figure 2 derating curve.

Does D6V3H1U2LP16-7 meet automotive AEC-Q200 requirements?

No - D6V3H1U2LP16-7 is not AEC-Q200 qualified. It is specified for commercial and industrial portable applications only. For automotive infotainment or ADAS interfaces, Diodes' AEC-Q200-qualified APxxxx series (e.g., AP2202K) should be evaluated instead.

Can this TVS protect bidirectional signal lines like USB D+ and D−?

Yes - though unidirectional, it is applied in pairs (anode-to-signal, cathode-to-GND) per line. For true bidirectional protection on a single line, a symmetric TVS like D3V3F1U2LP16-7 would be required; D6V3H1U2LP16-7 protects one polarity only but is standard practice for differential data lanes with separate GND-referenced clamps.

Is the 800pF capacitance measured line-to-ground or line-to-line?

The 800pF typical channel capacitance (C_T) is measured from any I/O terminal (Pin 1 or Pin 2) to ground under zero-bias condition at 1MHz, as confirmed in Note 8 and Figure 4 of DS38004. It does not represent inter-pin capacitance, which is negligible in this two-terminal device.
