Product details
Overview
DF2B5M4ASL,L3F from Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation is an ESD protection diode designed for high-speed signal lines in mobile interfaces, featuring 3.3 V working voltage (VRWM ≤ 3.6 V), ±16 kV IEC61000-4-2 contact ESD immunity, 0.15 pF typical capacitance, 0.7 Ω dynamic resistance, and ultra-compact SL2 package (0.62 mm × 0.32 mm).
For engineers reviewing the DF2B5M4ASL,L3F datasheet, DF2B5M4ASL,L3F pinout, DF2B5M4ASL,L3F application, or DF2B5M4ASL,L3F equivalent, key selection considerations include low-capacitance signal integrity preservation, snapback-based clamping performance under 2 A peak pulse current, and compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts in smartphones and tablets.
Technical Context
The DF2B5M4ASL,L3F employs silicon epitaxial planar technology with snapback-triggered TVS behavior, enabling low clamping voltage (VC = 10 V @ IPP = 2 A) and fast response to ESD transients. Its bidirectional configuration supports I/O line protection without polarity constraints.
Designed specifically for 3.3 V systems, it operates within a 0–25 °C ambient range and delivers stable protection across IEC61000-4-2 (±16 kV contact/air) and IEC61000-4-5 (8/20 µs surge) standards, with junction temperature limited to 150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Peak Reverse Voltage | 3.6 V max - ensures safe operation on 3.3 V signal rails with margin against overvoltage drift. |
| Total Capacitance | 0.15 pF typ. - preserves signal integrity up to multi-GHz frequencies in USB 2.0, HDMI, and MIPI interfaces. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 0.7 Ω typ. - minimizes voltage overshoot during ESD events by limiting IR drop across the protection path. |
| Clamp Voltage | 10 V @ 2 A peak pulse - holds protected IC input below damage threshold during IEC61000-4-2 discharge. |
| ESD Withstand | ±16 kV (IEC61000-4-2 contact) - exceeds industrial and consumer ESD immunity requirements. |
| Package Size | 0.62 mm × 0.32 mm - enables placement adjacent to connectors and high-density BGA footprints. |
Pinout & Package
The DF2B5M4ASL,L3F is housed in the SL2 ultra-compact surface-mount package (0.62 mm × 0.32 mm, 0.2 mg typical weight), optimized for mobile PCB real estate constraints.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | I/O Signal Terminal | Connected to protected data line (e.g., USB D+, HDMI TMDS+); requires Pin 2 tied to GND when used as input/output node. |
| Pin 2 | Ground Reference | Mandatory GND connection for snapback conduction path; must be low-inductance to ensure effective clamping. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Snapback-triggered clamping | Enables sub-10 V clamping at 2 A pulse while maintaining low leakage (<0.1 µA @ 3.6 V) in standby. |
| Bidirectional ESD protection | Supports AC-coupled and bidirectional signal lines (e.g., USB, MIPI D-PHY) without polarity dependency. |
| Ultra-low capacitance | 0.15 pF typical value prevents signal rise-time degradation and insertion loss in >500 MHz channels. |
| SL2 footprint compatibility | Matches standard 0201 land pattern dimensions, enabling drop-in replacement in existing high-density layouts. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPD2E001DRYR | Unidirectional, 5.5 V VRWM, 1.2 pF capacitance, ±8 kV IEC61000-4-2 contact rating. | Requires separate GND and VCC references; unsuitable for true bidirectional AC signals like USB D+/D−. | Select when protecting 5 V logic rails where higher clamping voltage is acceptable and capacitance tolerance >1 pF. |
| ESD5Z3.3T5G | Bidirectional, 3.3 V VRWM, 0.6 pF capacitance, ±12 kV IEC61000-4-2 contact rating, SOD-523 package (1.3 mm × 0.85 mm). | Larger footprint increases trace inductance; lower ESD rating limits use in premium consumer devices. | Prefer for cost-sensitive industrial designs where board space is less constrained and ±12 kV suffices. |
Compared with TPD2E001DRYR and ESD5Z3.3T5G, the DF2B5M4ASL,L3F uniquely combines bidirectional operation, ±16 kV robustness, and 0.15 pF capacitance in a 0.62 mm × 0.32 mm footprint-enabling first-tier smartphone-grade ESD protection without signal integrity trade-offs.

FAQ
What is the maximum working voltage supported by the DF2B5M4ASL,L3F?
The DF2B5M4ASL,L3F has a working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of 3.6 V maximum, making it suitable for 3.3 V nominal signal lines with sufficient margin against voltage fluctuations. This rating is verified per IEC61000-4-2 test conditions and ensures reliable operation without premature conduction during normal signal swings. The DF2B5M4ASL,L3F maintains low leakage (<0.1 µA) up to this voltage threshold.
Does the DF2B5M4ASL,L3F support bidirectional ESD protection?
Yes, the DF2B5M4ASL,L3F provides symmetrical bidirectional clamping, enabling protection of AC-coupled or differential signal pairs such as USB D+/D− and MIPI D-PHY lanes. Its internal structure allows equal response to positive and negative ESD transients without polarity dependency. This behavior is confirmed in the device's I–V curve (Fig. 9.1) and clamping waveform data (Fig. 6.1.1/6.1.2) in the official DF2B5M4ASL,L3F datasheet.
What is the typical capacitance of the DF2B5M4ASL,L3F and why does it matter?
The DF2B5M4ASL,L3F exhibits 0.15 pF typical total capacitance at 0 V and 1 MHz, critical for preserving signal integrity in high-speed interfaces like USB 2.0 and MIPI. This ultra-low value minimizes insertion loss, group delay variation, and rise-time degradation-ensuring compliance with eye diagram masks and jitter budgets. The DF2B5M4ASL,L3F achieves this via optimized silicon geometry and SL2 package parasitics.
How is the DF2B5M4ASL,L3F mounted and what is its package name?
The DF2B5M4ASL,L3F uses the SL2 surface-mount package (0.62 mm × 0.32 mm), also known as "SL2" in Toshiba documentation. It is a two-terminal device with Pin 1 for signal connection and Pin 2 for ground reference. Land pattern dimensions are specified in the datasheet (Rev. 1.0.A, page 8), and the device weighs 0.2 mg typical. The DF2B5M4ASL,L3F requires reflow soldering per J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) guidelines.
What ESD standards does the DF2B5M4ASL,L3F meet?
The DF2B5M4ASL,L3F meets IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 for both contact (±16 kV) and air (±16 kV) discharge, and supports IEC61000-4-5 surge immunity with 2 A peak pulse current (8/20 µs). These ratings are measured using standardized TLP and ESD gun methodologies and are guaranteed per Toshiba's production test flow. The DF2B5M4ASL,L3F is not rated for voltage regulation or continuous overvoltage protection.
