Product details
Overview
DF2B5M5CT,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 peak reverse voltage (VRWM), 0.3 pF typical total capacitance, 0.5 Ω typical dynamic resistance, ±20 kV IEC61000-4-2 contact/air ESD rating, and 9.2 V clamping voltage at 2.5 A peak pulse current. It protects semiconductor I/O pins in compact smartphones and tablets.
For engineers reviewing the DF2B5M5CT,L3F datasheet, DF2B5M5CT,L3F pinout, DF2B5M5CT,L3F application, or DF2B5M5CT,L3F equivalent, key selection criteria include low capacitance for USB/MIPI signal integrity, snapback-triggered low clamping voltage for robust ESD immunity, ultra-small CST2 package footprint, and verified ±20 kV IEC61000-4-2 compliance for consumer-grade portable electronics.
Technical Context
The DF2B5M5CT,L3F employs silicon epitaxial planar technology with snapback-triggered clamping behavior, enabling low dynamic resistance (0.5 Ω typ.) and fast response to ESD transients. Its bidirectional structure supports dual-pin I/O protection with ground-referenced configuration-Pin 1 or Pin 2 used as signal line depending on GND connection choice.
Designed specifically for 3.3 V systems, it operates within a VRWM ≤ 3.3 V range and delivers stable clamping performance up to 2.5 A peak pulse current (8/20 µs), with VC = 9.2 V (typ.) and no degradation under ±20 kV IEC61000-4-2 contact discharge stress.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Peak Reverse Voltage (VRWM) | 3.3 V max - ensures compatibility with 3.3 V logic I/O without leakage or false triggering |
| Total Capacitance (Ct) | 0.3 pF typ. @ 1 MHz - preserves signal integrity for high-speed interfaces like USB 2.0 and MIPI D-PHY |
| Dynamic Resistance (RDYN) | 0.5 Ω typ. - minimizes voltage overshoot during ESD events by limiting IR drop across the device |
| Clamp Voltage (VC) | 9.2 V typ. @ IPP = 2.5 A - limits transient voltage seen by protected IC to safe levels below damage thresholds |
| ESD Withstand (IEC61000-4-2) | ±20 kV contact / ±20 kV air - exceeds industrial and consumer ESD immunity requirements |
| Package Size | 1.0 mm × 0.6 mm - enables placement adjacent to connectors and high-density BGA ICs in slim mobile PCBs |
Pinout & Package
DF2B5M5CT,L3F is housed in the CST2 ultra-compact surface-mount package (1.0 mm × 0.6 mm, 0.7 mg typ.), optimized for space-constrained mobile applications. The device has two terminals configured for bidirectional ESD protection of a single I/O line referenced to ground.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Signal I/O terminal (anode/cathode depending on polarity) | Connected to protected data line (e.g., USB D+, MIPI CLK); GND must be connected to Pin 2 |
| Pin 2 | Ground reference terminal | Must be tied directly to system ground plane to enable proper snapback clamping path and low-inductance discharge |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Snapback-triggered clamping | Enables sub-10 V clamping at 2.5 A while maintaining low dynamic resistance for minimal overshoot |
| Ultra-low 0.3 pF capacitance | Prevents signal distortion and timing skew in >100 MHz differential interfaces such as MIPI D-PHY v1.2 |
| Bidirectional protection architecture | Supports both positive and negative ESD transients without external polarity selection circuitry |
| CST2 package footprint | Reduces board area by >50% vs. SOD-323, enabling placement within 1 mm of connector pads |
Applications
| USB 2.0 Interface Protection | MIPI D-PHY Clock Line Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting USB 2.0 D+ and D− lines in smartphone charging ports against repeated plug/unplug ESD events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional TVS diode placed between connector and USB transceiver I/O pins, referenced to local ground.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel ESD protection where each DF2B5M5CT,L3F guards one I²C line referenced to shared ground. Use Value: 3.3 V VRWM matches I²C bus voltage; low leakage (<0.1 µA) prevents bus pull-up loading or false ACK errors. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPD2E001DRYR | 0.8 pF capacitance, 12 V clamping at 1 A, SOT-5X3 package (1.6 × 1.6 mm) | Larger footprint; higher capacitance limits use to lower-speed interfaces (≤10 MHz I²C) | Select when board layout allows larger package and system ESD requirement is ±15 kV only |
| ESD5Z3.3T5G | 3.3 V VRWM, 0.65 pF, 12.5 V clamping @ 1 A, SOD-523 (1.3 × 0.85 mm) | Higher clamping voltage and capacitance reduce margin for high-speed MIPI/USB | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where 0.3 pF and 9.2 V clamping are not mandatory |
Compared with TPD2E001DRYR and ESD5Z3.3T5G, DF2B5M5CT,L3F provides superior high-frequency signal fidelity due to its 0.3 pF capacitance and 9.2 V clamping, making it uniquely suitable for MIPI D-PHY and USB 2.0 in space-constrained mobile PCBs where layout area and signal integrity are critical constraints.

FAQ
What is the maximum working peak reverse voltage for DF2B5M5CT,L3F?
The DF2B5M5CT,L3F has a maximum working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of 3.3 V, ensuring reliable operation on standard 3.3 V I/O rails without leakage or premature conduction. This rating is confirmed in Toshiba's official datasheet Rev.1.0.A, Section 8, and aligns with recommended operating conditions for USB, MIPI, and I²C interfaces. DF2B5M5CT,L3F maintains low reverse current (<0.1 µA) at this voltage, preserving signal integrity and power efficiency in battery-powered devices.
Does DF2B5M5CT,L3F support bidirectional ESD protection?
Yes, DF2B5M5CT,L3F provides symmetrical bidirectional protection, capable of clamping both positive and negative ESD transients without polarity dependency. Its internal snapback structure activates identically for either polarity, delivering consistent 9.2 V clamping (typ.) at 2.5 A for both contact and air discharge per IEC61000-4-2. DF2B5M5CT,L3F achieves this using a single two-terminal configuration where either pin can serve as the signal line when the other is grounded.
What is the package type and dimensions of DF2B5CT,L3F?
DF2B5M5CT,L3F uses the CST2 package, measuring 1.0 mm × 0.6 mm with a typical weight of 0.7 mg. This ultra-compact footprint is documented in Toshiba's datasheet Rev.1.0.A, Page 8, and is optimized for high-density mobile PCB layouts. DF2B5M5CT,L3F's CST2 package enables placement within 1 mm of high-speed connector pads, minimizing parasitic inductance and maximizing ESD suppression effectiveness in smartphones and tablets.
How does DF2B5M5CT,L3F achieve low clamping voltage under ESD stress?
DF2B5M5CT,L3F achieves a typical clamping voltage of 9.2 V at 2.5 A through its snapback-triggered silicon epitaxial planar structure, which transitions rapidly from high-impedance to low-dynamic-resistance conduction (0.5 Ω typ.). This mechanism limits voltage overshoot during fast-rising ESD pulses (e.g., IEC61000-4-2), protecting downstream ICs with absolute maximum ratings near 12 V. DF2B5M5CT,L3F's design ensures this performance is repeatable across temperature and lifetime without parameter drift.
Is DF2B5M5CT,L3F compliant with IEC61000-4-2 ESD standards?
Yes, DF2B5M5CT,L3F is rated for ±20 kV contact discharge and ±20 kV air discharge per IEC61000-4-2, as verified in Toshiba's datasheet Rev.1.0.A, Sections 4 and 7. This level exceeds Class 4 immunity requirements and ensures robust field reliability in consumer handheld devices subject to frequent human-body-model ESD events. DF2B5M5CT,L3F maintains full functionality after repeated ±20 kV strikes, with no parametric shift or visual damage observed in qualification testing.
