Product details
Overview
DF2B7ACT,L3F from Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation is an ESD protection diode designed for high-speed signal lines in mobile interfaces, featuring ±30 kV IEC61000-4-2 contact ESD immunity, 8.5 pF typical capacitance, and 0.2 Ω dynamic resistance to safeguard sensitive ICs against electrostatic discharge and noise.
For engineers reviewing the DF2B7ACT,L3F datasheet, DF2B7ACT,L3F pinout, DF2B7ACT,L3F application, or DF2B7ACT,L3F equivalent, this device is selected for compact 5 V interface protection where low clamping voltage (11 V @ 4 A), snapback behavior, and ultra-small CST2 footprint (1.0 mm × 0.6 mm) are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
The DF2B7ACT,L3F employs silicon epitaxial planar technology with snapback-triggered TVS operation, enabling low clamping voltage and fast response to ESD transients. Its bidirectional configuration supports dual-pin I/O protection with ground-referenced layout flexibility.
Designed specifically for high-speed data lines, it maintains signal integrity via low capacitance (8.5 pF typ.) and low dynamic resistance (0.2 Ω typ.), meeting IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 and IEC61000-4-5 surge immunity requirements without degrading signal rise/fall times.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Peak Reverse Voltage | 5.5 V - Ensures safe operation on 5 V signal rails without leakage or premature conduction. |
| Total Capacitance | 8.5 pF (typ.) - Minimizes signal distortion and insertion loss on USB 2.0, HDMI, or MIPI D-PHY lines. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 0.2 Ω (typ.) - Enables rapid energy shunting during ESD events, reducing voltage overshoot at protected node. |
| Clamp Voltage | 11 V @ 4 A (typ.) - Limits transient voltage seen by downstream ICs to safe levels during 8/20 µs surges. |
| ESD Withstand | ±30 kV (IEC61000-4-2 Contact) - Exceeds industrial and consumer ESD immunity requirements for handheld devices. |
| Package Size | 1.0 mm × 0.6 mm - Fits dense PCB layouts in smartphones and tablets where board space is constrained. |
Pinout & Package
The DF2B7ACT,L3F is housed in the CST2 ultra-compact surface-mount package (1.0 mm × 0.6 mm, 0.7 mg weight), optimized for automated placement and high-density routing in mobile applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | I/O Signal Terminal | Connected to protected data line (e.g., USB D+, HDMI TMDS+); requires external GND connection on Pin 2. |
| Pin 2 | Ground Reference | Must be connected to system ground to complete ESD current path; enables bidirectional clamping when Pin 1 is active. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Snapback-triggered clamping | Enables sub-11 V clamping at 4 A while maintaining low leakage below 5.5 V VRWM. |
| Bidirectional ESD protection | Supports symmetric ±30 kV IEC61000-4-2 protection on single-ended I/O lines without polarity constraints. |
| Ultra-low capacitance | 8.5 pF typical value preserves signal integrity on high-speed interfaces up to 480 Mbps (USB 2.0). |
| Compact CST2 footprint | 1.0 mm × 0.6 mm land pattern reduces PCB area by >50% vs. SOD-323, easing layout in narrow pitch traces. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPD2E001DRYR | 0.9 pF lower capacitance (7.6 pF typ.), but 12.5 V clamping @ 4 A and ±8 kV IEC61000-4-2 rating. | Targeted at ultra-high-speed SerDes lanes (e.g., PCIe Gen3), not optimized for 5 V mobile I/O. | Select when signal bandwidth >1 GHz is required and ESD level ≤±8 kV suffices. |
| ESD5Z7.0T1G | Higher clamping (13.5 V @ 4 A), same 5.5 V VRWM, but 12 pF capacitance and larger SOD-523 package (1.3 mm × 0.85 mm). | Used in cost-sensitive industrial HMI panels where board space is less constrained. | Choose when higher surge robustness (100 W PPK) is prioritized over capacitance and size. |
Compared with TPD2E001DRYR and ESD5Z7.0T1G, the DF2B7ACT,L3F delivers superior ESD immunity (±30 kV) in the smallest footprint while balancing clamping voltage and capacitance for mainstream 5 V mobile interfaces-making it optimal for smartphones, tablets, and notebooks where space and robustness are co-constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum working voltage supported by the DF2B7ACT,L3F?
The DF2B7ACT,L3F has a working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of 5.5 V, making it suitable for reliable operation on standard 5 V signal lines such as USB 2.0, HDMI DDC, and I²C buses without leakage or unintended conduction during normal operation. This rating is confirmed in Toshiba's Rev.2.0.A datasheet under Electrical Characteristics.
Does the DF2B7ACT,L3F require orientation-specific PCB layout?
No-the DF2B7ACT,L3F is bidirectional and symmetrical; either pin can serve as the I/O terminal provided the other is connected to ground. The internal circuit (per Toshiba datasheet Fig.10) shows identical snapback characteristics in both directions, eliminating polarity concerns during placement. This simplifies layout and reduces assembly errors in high-density mobile PCBs.
How does the DF2B7ACT,L3F achieve low clamping voltage despite its small size?
The DF2B7ACT,L3F achieves 11 V clamping at 4 A through silicon epitaxial planar process optimization and snapback-triggered avalanche design, which lowers on-state impedance after breakdown. Its 0.2 Ω dynamic resistance (RDYN) ensures minimal IR drop during ESD transients-directly enabled by Toshiba's proprietary junction engineering, not package scaling alone.
Is the DF2B7ACT,L3F compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations?
Yes-the DF2B7ACT,L3F meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 as confirmed by Toshiba's environmental compliance documentation. It contains no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE above threshold limits, and is rated for lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020.
Can the DF2B7ACT,L3F protect against IEC61000-4-5 surge events?
Yes-the DF2B7ACT,L3F is rated for 80 W peak pulse power (tp = 8/20 µs) per IEC61000-4-5, supporting basic surge immunity in secondary-side interfaces like USB ports or display links. While not intended for primary AC-line protection, it provides validated clamping performance up to 4 A IPP under 8/20 µs waveforms as specified in Toshiba's Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
