Product details
Overview
DESD6V8DLP-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a dual-channel, low-capacitance TVS diode array designed for high-speed data line ESD protection in portable electronics. It features a 5.25 V reverse standoff voltage, 70 W peak pulse power (8×20 µs), 40 pF typical capacitance at 0 V, and IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD immunity (±16 kV air, ±8 kV contact). It is used to safeguard USB 2.0, HDMI, and audio interfaces against transient overvoltage events.
For engineers reviewing the DESD6V8DLP-7 datasheet, DESD6V8DLP-7 pinout, DESD6V8DLP-7 application, or DESD6V8DLP-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage under 12 V at 5 A IPP, sub-1 µA leakage at VRWM, dual-anode-cathode configuration for bidirectional protection, and DFN1006-3 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements a dual-element, common-cathode TVS structure optimized for bidirectional ESD suppression on differential or single-ended signal lines. Each channel provides symmetrical clamping with a breakdown voltage of 6.4–7.2 V and a maximum clamping voltage of 12 V at 5 A peak pulse current.
Its 40 pF total capacitance (at 0 V, 1 MHz) and low dynamic impedance (30 Ω typical at IT = 5 mA) ensure minimal signal distortion on high-speed interfaces up to 480 Mbps. The X1-DFN1006-3 package supports automated placement and meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity Level 1.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Standoff Voltage | 5.25 V - Maximum continuous working voltage before conduction begins; sets upper limit for protected line DC bias. |
| Breakdown Voltage | 6.8 V (typ) - Voltage at which device enters avalanche conduction; ensures reliable triggering above normal operating range. |
| Clamping Voltage | 12 V @ 5 A IPP - Peak voltage seen by protected circuit during 8×20 µs surge; critical for IC-level I/O survivability. |
| Peak Pulse Power | 70 W - Energy-handling capability under standardized transient; sufficient for IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 events. |
| Total Capacitance | 40 pF @ 0 V, 1 MHz - Low enough to avoid signal integrity degradation on USB 2.0 and audio paths. |
| Leakage Current | <1 µA @ 5.25 V - Negligible DC loading on sensitive analog or low-power digital inputs. |
| ESD Rating | ±16 kV air / ±8 kV contact (IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4) - Meets industrial and consumer end-equipment immunity requirements. |
Pinout & Package
The DESD6V8DLP-7 is housed in a 3-pin X1-DFN1006-3 surface-mount package (1.0 × 0.6 × 0.5 mm), with exposed thermal pad not connected internally. It uses a dual-anode, common-cathode configuration for bidirectional protection across two independent channels.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode 1 | Input terminal for first protected signal line; connects to trace requiring ESD clamping. |
| Pin 2 | Cathode (Common) | Shared cathode node for both TVS elements; must be tied to system ground plane for effective clamping. |
| Pin 3 | Anode 2 | Input terminal for second protected signal line; enables dual-line protection in single footprint. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-channel bidirectional ESD protection | Single-package solution for differential pairs (e.g., USB D+/D−) without external routing complexity. |
| 40 pF typical capacitance | Preserves signal rise/fall times on 480 Mbps USB 2.0 links; avoids eye diagram closure. |
| 12 V clamping at 5 A IPP | Keeps downstream logic I/O below absolute maximum ratings during ESD transients. |
| <1 µA leakage @ 5.25 V | Eliminates measurable current draw on battery-powered sensor or audio amplifier inputs. |
| DFN1006-3 package | Enables 0201-class board space savings while maintaining thermal performance via copper leadframe. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel TVS protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMA6J5.0A-Q | Single-channel, higher 600 W Ppk, 100 pF capacitance, SMA package | Requires two devices for dual-line protection; unsuitable for USB 2.0 due to capacitance | Select only when board space allows discrete placement and speed <12 Mbps |
| SP1006-01UTG | Dual-channel, 0.5 pF capacitance, 30 W Ppk, SOD-923 package | Lower power handling limits use to low-energy interfaces like I²C or GPIO | Prefer for ultra-high-speed (>1 Gbps) but low-energy signal lines where clamping voltage margin is relaxed |
Compared with SMA6J5.0A-Q and SP1006-01UTG, the DESD6V8DLP-7 uniquely balances 40 pF capacitance, 70 W surge rating, and dual-channel DFN integration-making it optimal for cost- and space-constrained USB 2.0 and audio protection where both bandwidth and robustness matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of DESD6V8DLP-7 under IEC 61000-4-2 surge conditions?
The DESD6V8DLP-7 exhibits a maximum clamping voltage of 12 V when subjected to a 5 A peak pulse current (8×20 µs waveform), as specified in its electrical characteristics table. This value is measured at the device terminals under standard test conditions and represents the worst-case voltage imposed on the protected line during an ESD event.
Can DESD6V8DLP-7 be used for unidirectional signal lines?
Yes - although configured as a dual-anode/common-cathode device, it functions bidirectionally per channel. For unidirectional lines, connect the cathode to ground and either anode to the signal line; the device will clamp positive transients to ~12 V and negative transients to ~−1.25 V (forward drop), satisfying most unidirectional I/O protection needs.
Does DESD6V8DLP-7 meet AEC-Q200 requirements for automotive use?
While the DESD6V8DLP-7 is manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities and supports PPAP documentation upon request, it is not formally qualified to AEC-Q200. Diodes recommends contacting their automotive team for the AEC-Q200-qualified variant DESD6V8DLPQ-7 if automotive-grade reliability validation is required.
How does the 40 pF capacitance affect USB 2.0 eye diagram compliance?
At 40 pF, the DESD6V8DLP-7 introduces <0.3 UI jitter and <0.5 dB insertion loss at 240 MHz, well within USB-IF eye mask tolerances for full-speed (12 Mbps) and high-speed (480 Mbps) modes. Layout optimization - including minimized trace length between device and connector - ensures pass/fail compliance in standard compliance testing.
