Product details
Overview
DESD6V8DLPA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a dual-channel, surface-mount transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode array designed for high-speed data line ESD protection in portable electronics and USB interfaces. It features ±16kV air/±8kV contact IEC 61000-4-2 ESD rating, 5.25V reverse standoff voltage, 40pF typical capacitance, and 70W peak pulse power handling per channel.
For engineers reviewing the DESD6V8DLPA-7 datasheet, DESD6V8DLPA-7 pinout, DESD6V8DLPA-7 application, or DESD6V8DLPA-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include low clamping voltage (≤12.5V @ 1A), sub-1µA leakage at VRWM, dual-cathode DFN package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts, and AEC-Q200 readiness for automotive infotainment interfaces.
Technical Context
This dual TVS array implements two independent bidirectional avalanche diodes in a single X1-DFN1006-3 package, each with symmetrical breakdown behavior and matched dynamic impedance (30Ω typ). Its low 40pF capacitance enables use on USB 2.0 (480Mbps), HDMI, and MIPI D-PHY lines without signal integrity degradation.
The device operates across –55°C to +150°C, supports 8×20µs surge waveforms up to 1A, and achieves clamping voltage ≤12.5V at 1A IPP - critical for protecting 5V-tolerant I/O pins in microcontrollers and PMICs against fast-rising ESD transients.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Standoff Voltage | 5.25V - Maximum continuous DC voltage before leakage exceeds 1µA; sets upper limit for protected bus voltage (e.g., USB VBUS) |
| Breakdown Voltage | 6.8V typ - Avalanche conduction initiates reliably within ±0.4V tolerance, ensuring consistent ESD triggering across temperature |
| Clamping Voltage | 12.5V max @ 1A - Limits transient voltage seen by downstream ICs during 8×20µs surges, preserving 5V logic margin |
| Total Capacitance | 40pF typ @ 0V - Enables <1% signal distortion on 480Mbps USB 2.0 differential pairs; measured at 1MHz |
| ESD Rating | ±16kV air / ±8kV contact - Meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4, sufficient for handheld device touch surfaces and exposed ports |
| Leakage Current | <1µA @ 5.25V - Prevents battery drain in always-on mobile applications; verified at TA = +25°C |
| Peak Pulse Power | 70W per channel - Sustains 1A 8×20µs surge without thermal runaway on FR-5 PCB with standard pad layout |
Pinout & Package
Package: X1-DFN1006-3 - 1.0mm × 0.6mm, 0.5mm height, 3-terminal leadless plastic package with NiPdAu-plated copper leadframe; moisture sensitivity level 1 (J-STD-020).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode of Channel 1 | Connects to protected signal line (e.g., USB D+); cathode tied to common ground plane |
| Pin 2 | Cathode (Common) | Shared cathode node for both channels; must be routed to low-inductance ground pour |
| Pin 3 | Anode of Channel 2 | Connects to second protected signal line (e.g., USB D−); symmetrical with Pin 1 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-channel monolithic integration | Reduces PCB area by 40% vs. discrete TVS pair; eliminates inter-channel skew in differential line protection |
| Low 40pF capacitance | Maintains signal rise/fall time integrity on 480Mbps USB 2.0 and 1.25Gbps MIPI D-PHY links |
| ±16kV IEC 61000-4-2 air discharge | Validated for direct user-touch ESD events on consumer device ports without external shielding |
| Sub-1µA leakage at 5.25V | Enables multi-year battery life in always-connected IoT sensors and wearables |
| AEC-Q200 readiness | Manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities; supports PPAP documentation for automotive infotainment modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel TVS diode array applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMA6J5.0A | Single-channel, SMA package (4.5mm × 2.7mm), 5.0V VRWM, 600W PPP, 100pF CT | Higher capacitance limits use to DC/low-speed lines only; larger footprint consumes 5× more PCB area | Select when higher surge power is required and board space is unconstrained |
| SP1003-04UTG | Dual-channel, SOT-23-6 package, 5.5V VRWM, 12V VC, 25pF CT, 30W PPP | Lower capacitance improves RF performance but reduced 30W surge rating may not survive repeated 1A transients | Select when ultra-low capacitance is prioritized over robustness to multiple ESD strikes |
Compared with SMA6J5.0A and SP1003-04UTG, DESD6V8DLPA-7 uniquely balances 40pF capacitance, 70W per-channel surge capability, and 1.0mm × 0.6mm DFN size - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-speed USB/HDMI designs requiring repeatable ESD immunity.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of DESD6V8DLPA-7 at 1A peak pulse current?
The maximum clamping voltage is 12.5V under an 8×20µs waveform at 1A peak pulse current, measured per Figure 4 in DS44485 Rev. 1–2. This value ensures protected 5V logic circuits remain within safe operating margins during ESD events, with no derating required at ambient temperatures up to +85°C.
Can DESD6V8DLPA-7 be used for unidirectional signal lines?
No - DESD6V8DLPA-7 is a bidirectional TVS array with symmetrical breakdown characteristics (VBR = 6.4–7.2V). For unidirectional protection (e.g., power rail clamping), Diodes recommends the unidirectional DESD6V8DLC series, which features anode-to-ground configuration and lower forward voltage drop.
Is the X1-DFN1006-3 package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes - the X1-DFN1006-3 package is qualified for IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity and supports standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C, 60s above 217°C). The NiPdAu terminal finish ensures reliable solder wetting on OSP- and ENIG-finished PCBs.
Does DESD6V8DLPA-7 meet AEC-Q200 requirements?
While not individually certified, DESD6V8DLPA-7 is manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities using AEC-Q200-aligned processes and materials. Diodes provides PPAP documentation upon request for automotive programs; qualification testing per AEC-Q200 Grade 2 (–40°C to +105°C) is supported by its specified operating range and thermal resistance (RθJA = 325°C/W).
