Product details
Overview
DESDALC5ALP-7B from Diodes Incorporated is a single-channel bidirectional TVS diode designed for ESD protection of high-speed data lines in portable electronics. It delivers ±30kV IEC 61000-4-2 air/contact ESD immunity, features 26–30pF junction capacitance at 0V, clamps to 12V (pin2→pin1) and 21V (pin1→pin2) under 8kV contact discharge, and is housed in an ultra-compact X1-DFN1006-2 package (1.08 × 0.68 mm).
For engineers reviewing the DESDALC5ALP-7B datasheet, DESDALC5ALP-7B pinout, DESDALC5ALP-7B application, or DESDALC5ALP-7B equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamping asymmetry, low 0.19Ω dynamic resistance, sub-1mm profile suitability for space-constrained USB/MIPI interfaces, and compliance with IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 without derating.
Technical Context
This TVS operates as a voltage-clamped transient suppressor across two terminals, leveraging avalanche breakdown in both polarities to shunt ESD energy before sensitive IC inputs. Its asymmetric clamping (12V vs. 21V) reflects optimized forward/reverse conduction paths for differential signal line protection where one polarity dominates surge directionality.
The device uses a planar silicon junction structure in a lead-free, halogen-free DFN package with NiPdAu-plated terminals. Thermal resistance of 500°C/W and 250mW steady-state power dissipation are defined for FR-4 PCB mounting per Diodes' recommended pad layout, enabling reliable operation from –65°C to +150°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min) | 5.8V (pin2→pin1) / 11V (pin1→pin2): Ensures reliable turn-on before damage to 3.3V/5V interface ICs |
| IPP (max) | 9A (8/20µs): Sustains full IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 surges without degradation |
| CT | 26–30pF @ 0V, 1MHz: Minimizes signal integrity impact on USB 2.0 and MIPI D-PHY lines |
| VCL | 12V (pin2→pin1) / 21V (pin1→pin2) @ 8kV contact: Defines worst-case voltage seen by protected IC during ESD event |
| RDYN | 0.19Ω (both directions): Limits voltage overshoot during fast TLP pulses (1–20A, 100ns) |
| IR (max) | 25nA @ 5V reverse bias: Prevents leakage-induced offset or battery drain in always-on circuits |
Pinout & Package
Package: X1-DFN1006-2 - ultra-thin (0.53mm max height), 2-terminal, bottom-side thermal pad-less DFN with 0.65mm pitch and pin 1 marked by beveled corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode for reverse-biased operation (pin1→pin2) | Primary path for clamping positive transients into ground-referenced systems |
| Pin 2 | Cathode for reverse-biased operation (pin1→pin2) | Provides lower 12V clamping when transient originates from pin2 side (e.g., connector-facing node) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting USB data lines (D+/D−) on mobile phone mainboards against repeated plug/unplug ESD events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional clamping TVS placed within 3mm of USB connector to limit transient voltage to ≤21V.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance TVS mounted at sensor flex cable entry point to suppress contact ESD before signal conditioning ICs. Use Value: Enables 1.5Gbps D-PHY operation with <0.2dB insertion loss up to 800MHz due to 26–30pF capacitance and symmetric layout. |
| Smartphone Display Flex Cable | Wireless Earbud Charging Port |
Use Scenario: ESD hardening of display panel's LVDS or eDP clock/data lines routed through narrow flex cables prone to triboelectric charging. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Asymmetric clamping device oriented to clamp higher-energy transients from display side (pin2→pin1 = 12V) while tolerating lower-voltage surges from SoC side. Use Value: Reduces display flicker or black-screen failures during user handling by limiting peak voltage to 12V on the more exposed flex end. | Use Scenario: Protecting pogo-pin charging interfaces in true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds subjected to frequent pocket-based static discharge. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Surface-mount TVS placed directly across VBUS and GND pins of magnetic charging receptacle.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ5.0A | Unidirectional, DO-214AC package (4.5 × 3.3 mm), 5.0V VBR, 100pF CT | Requires dual-device configuration for bidirectional protection; unsuitable for high-speed data lines | Select only for low-frequency power rail protection where size and capacitance are non-critical |
| ESD5Z5.0T1G | Bi-directional, SOD-523 package (1.3 × 0.85 mm), 5.0V VBR, 45pF CT, 12A IPP | Higher capacitance degrades signal integrity above 200MHz; larger footprint than X1-DFN1006-2 | Preferable for cost-sensitive, non-high-speed applications where 45pF is acceptable |
Compared with SMAJ5.0A and ESD5Z5.0T1G, DESDALC5ALP-7B uniquely balances ultra-miniaturization (1.08 × 0.68 mm), sub-30pF capacitance, and asymmetric clamping-making it the only option qualified for MIPI D-PHY and USB 2.0 in sub-1mm-thick portable enclosures.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for DESDALC5ALP-7B?
The DESDALC5ALP-7B is rated for continuous operation from –65°C to +150°C, validated per JESD22-A104 thermal cycling and JESD22-A108 high-temperature storage tests. This range supports deployment in automotive cabin modules and industrial handhelds exposed to extreme ambient conditions without parameter drift.
Does DESDALC5ALP-7B require external biasing or control signals?
No. DESDALC5ALP-7B is a passive, two-terminal TVS diode that operates solely via avalanche breakdown under overvoltage conditions. It requires no power supply, enable pin, or configuration-functioning automatically when transient voltage exceeds its 5.8V/11V breakdown thresholds.
How does the asymmetric clamping behavior affect circuit design?
The 12V clamping (pin2→pin1) versus 21V clamping (pin1→pin2) allows orientation-aware placement: pin2 faces the higher-risk node (e.g., connector), ensuring lowest possible clamping voltage at the point of surge entry. This reduces stress on downstream ICs without requiring additional series impedance.
Is DESDALC5ALP-7B compliant with automotive qualification standards?
DESDALC5ALP-7B itself is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, Diodes offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., DESDALC5ALPQ-7B) with PPAP documentation, IATF 16949 manufacturing, and extended temperature validation. For non-automotive portable designs, the standard part meets all IEC 61000-4-2 and JEDEC moisture sensitivity Level 1 requirements.
