Product details
Overview
DF2B6M5CT,L3F from Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation is an ESD protection diode designed for high-speed signal lines in mobile interfaces, featuring 5.0 V working peak reverse voltage, ±20 kV IEC61000-4-2 contact/air ESD immunity, 0.3 pF typical capacitance, 0.5 Ω dynamic resistance, and ultra-compact CST2 (1.0 mm × 0.6 mm) package.
For engineers reviewing the DF2B6M5CT,L3F datasheet, DF2B6M5CT,L3F pinout, DF2B6M5CT,L3F application, or DF2B6M5CT,L3F equivalent, key selection criteria include low-capacitance signal integrity preservation, snapback-based clamping performance under fast transient events, and footprint compatibility with dense mobile PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The DF2B6M5CT,L3F employs a silicon epitaxial planar structure with snapback-triggered TVS behavior, enabling low clamping voltage (11 V @ 2.5 A) and rapid response to ESD transients. Its bidirectional configuration supports I/O line protection without polarity constraints.
Designed specifically for 5 V signal rails, it operates within a VRWM ≤ 5.0 V range and delivers sub-0.5 pF capacitance to minimize signal distortion on USB 2.0, HDMI, and MIPI D-PHY interfaces - verified via S21 measurements up to 3 GHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Peak Reverse Voltage | 5.0 V max - ensures safe operation on standard 5 V I/O buses without leakage or premature conduction. |
| Total Capacitance | 0.3 pF typ. @ 1 MHz - preserves signal integrity on high-speed digital interfaces (e.g., USB 2.0, MIPI). |
| Dynamic Resistance | 0.5 Ω typ. - enables low-voltage clamping during ESD events, reducing stress on protected ICs. |
| ESD Withstand Voltage | ±20 kV per IEC61000-4-2 (Contact/Air) - exceeds industrial and consumer ESD immunity requirements. |
| Clamp Voltage | 11 V typ. @ 2.5 A peak pulse - limits transient overvoltage to safe levels for downstream 5 V logic devices. |
| Package Size | 1.0 mm × 0.6 mm - fits tight pitch layouts in smartphones and wearables; CST2 footprint standardized for automated assembly. |
Pinout & Package
The DF2B6M5CT,L3F is housed in the CST2 surface-mount package (1.0 mm × 0.6 mm, 0.7 mg typical weight), optimized for high-density mobile PCBs. Pin 1 and Pin 2 form a bidirectional ESD protection path; grounding either pin enables protection of the opposing I/O line.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode/Cathode (bidirectional) | Connect to protected I/O line; ground Pin 2 for standard protection configuration. |
| Pin 2 | Anode/Cathode (bidirectional) | Ground reference terminal; when grounded, enables ESD current shunting from Pin 1 to GND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Snapback-triggered clamping | Enables 11 V clamping at 2.5 A while maintaining low dynamic resistance (0.5 Ω), improving protection margin over standard Zener TVS. |
| Ultra-low capacitance | 0.3 pF typical value minimizes insertion loss and signal rise-time degradation on >480 Mbps interfaces like USB 2.0. |
| Bidirectional I/O protection | Supports both positive and negative ESD transients without external polarity selection - simplifies layout and reduces BOM count. |
| Compact CST2 footprint | 1.0 mm × 0.6 mm land pattern aligns with IPC-7351B LCC-2 standards, enabling placement in <0.4 mm pitch routing zones. |
Applications
| USB 2.0 Interface Protection | HDMI DDC Line Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting USB 2.0 data lines (D+/D−) in smartphone charging ports against repeated ESD events during cable insertion/removal. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional transient voltage suppressor placed directly at connector entry point, before PHY IC. Use Value: 0.3 pF capacitance prevents signal integrity loss at 480 Mbps; ±20 kV ESD rating ensures >10,000 connect/disconnect cycles without degradation. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding HDMI DDC (I²C) lines in tablet display modules from ESD during hot-plug detection and EDID communication. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance ESD clamp on 3.3 V DDC bus, positioned between source SoC and display panel EEPROM. Use Value: 5.0 V VRWM matches I²C logic level; 11 V clamping prevents latch-up in display controller I/O cells during ±8 kV contact discharge. |
| MIPI D-PHY Data Lane Protection | Smartphone Antenna Switch Control Line Protection |
Use Scenario: Shielding MIPI D-PHY high-speed data lanes (CLK/HS-DATA) in camera modules from ESD induced by flex-cable handling during assembly. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Ultra-low-capacitance TVS diode mounted adjacent to image sensor interface, minimizing stub length. Use Value: Sub-0.45 pF max capacitance avoids jitter accumulation and eye-diagram closure at 1.5 Gbps; snapback behavior ensures fast turn-on below 6.7 V trigger threshold. |
Use Scenario: Protecting GPIO-controlled antenna switch enable lines in LTE/5G front-end modules exposed to handling ESD during board-level test and final assembly. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: ESD clamp on 1.8 V or 2.8 V control rail driving GaAs pHEMT antenna switches. Use Value: 0.5 Ω dynamic resistance limits voltage overshoot to <12 V during 2.5 A TLP pulses, preventing gate oxide damage in RF switches. |
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 typical capacitance; unidirectional; 5.5 V VRWM; SO-2 package (1.25 mm × 1.0 mm). | Higher capacitance limits use to lower-speed interfaces (e.g., I²C, UART); larger footprint requires more board area. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs high-speed signal integrity needs and board space permits larger package. |
| ESD5Z5.0T1G | 0.6 pF typical capacitance; bidirectional; 5.0 V VRWM; SOD-523 package (1.3 mm × 0.85 mm). | 19% larger footprint than CST2; higher dynamic resistance (0.8 Ω) yields ~13.5 V clamping at 2.5 A. | Choose where existing SOD-523 land patterns exist and moderate ESD robustness suffices for mid-tier consumer designs. |
Compared with TPD2E001DRYR and ESD5Z5.0T1G, the DF2B6M5CT,L3F delivers superior high-speed interface compatibility due to its 0.3 pF capacitance and CST2 footprint, while maintaining best-in-class 11 V clamping and ±20 kV ESD rating - critical for flagship smartphone and premium tablet designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum working voltage supported by the DF2B6M5CT,L3F?
The DF2B6M5CT,L3F has a working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of 5.0 V maximum, making it suitable for protection of 5 V signal lines such as USB 2.0, HDMI DDC, and legacy parallel interfaces. Operation above this voltage risks premature conduction and increased leakage current, so the DF2B6M5CT,L3F must be applied only in circuits where steady-state reverse bias remains ≤5.0 V.
Does the DF2B6M5CT,L3F require external biasing or control signals?
No, the DF2B6M5CT,L3F is a passive bidirectional TVS diode with no control pins, power supply, or biasing requirements. It operates solely based on voltage threshold behavior - conducting only during ESD transients exceeding its snapback trigger voltage (~6.7 V). The DF2B6M5CT,L3F functions autonomously when placed between signal line and ground.
How does the DF2B6M5CT,L3F compare to standard Zener-type ESD diodes in clamping performance?
The DF2B6M5CT,L3F uses snapback architecture to achieve 11 V clamping at 2.5 A, significantly lower than typical Zener-based TVS diodes (often >15 V at same current). Its 0.5 Ω dynamic resistance enables faster voltage stabilization during transients. This behavior is confirmed in the DF2B6M5CT,L3F's TLP characterization curves and directly improves protection margin for sensitive 5 V logic inputs.
Can the DF2B6M5CT,L3F be used on differential high-speed pairs without skew impact?
Yes - the DF2B6M5CT,L3F's matched 0.3 pF capacitance and symmetric bidirectional structure ensure minimal inter-pair skew when placed identically on both lines of a differential pair (e.g., USB D+/D−). Layout symmetry and equal trace lengths are required, but the DF2B6M5CT,L3F itself introduces no inherent timing asymmetry due to its monolithic dual-terminal construction.
Is the DF2B6M5CT,L3F compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations?
Yes, the DF2B6M5CT,L3F is RoHS-compliant and meets REACH SVHC requirements as confirmed by Toshiba's official environmental compliance documentation. The device contains no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, PBDE, or restricted phthalates above threshold limits, and is rated for lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020.
