Product details
Overview
DF2B7AE from Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation is an ESD protection diode designed for bidirectional I/O line protection in mobile device interfaces. It features a working peak reverse voltage of 5.5 V, ±30 kV IEC61000-4-2 contact ESD rating, 0.2 Ω typical dynamic resistance, 11 V clamping voltage at 4 A, and ultra-compact ESC package (0.8 mm × 1.2 mm). It is deployed on smartphone USB, HDMI, and audio jack signal lines to suppress electrostatic discharge transients.
For engineers reviewing the DF2B7AE datasheet, DF2B7AE pinout, DF2B7AE application, or DF2B7AE equivalent, key selection criteria include low clamping voltage under 4 A pulse, sub-10 pF capacitance for high-speed data integrity, snapback-triggered low-dynamic-resistance conduction, and ESC footprint compatibility with dense PCB layouts in portable electronics.
Technical Context
The DF2B7AE employs silicon epitaxial planar technology with snapback-triggered avalanche conduction, enabling rapid transition from high-impedance standby to low-impedance clamping mode during ESD events. Its bidirectional structure supports protection of both positive and negative transients without polarity constraints.
It operates within a 5.5 V working peak reverse voltage range and delivers 11 V clamping at 4 A (IEC61000-4-5 8/20 µs), with total capacitance of 8.5 pF (typ.) at 0 V - optimized for USB 2.0, HDMI, and audio interfaces where signal integrity and bandwidth preservation are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 5.5 V maximum - ensures safe operation on 5 V signal rails without leakage or false triggering |
| VESD (IEC61000-4-2) | ±30 kV contact - exceeds industrial ESD immunity requirements for handheld interface ports |
| RDYN | 0.2 Ω typical - minimizes voltage overshoot during fast ESD pulses by limiting IR drop across the diode |
| VC @ IPP = 4 A | 11 V typical - clamps transient energy below IC damage threshold for protected downstream logic |
| Ct @ 0 V, 1 MHz | 8.5 pF typical - preserves signal rise/fall times and eye diagram integrity on 480 Mbps USB 2.0 lines |
| Package | ESC (0.8 mm × 1.2 mm) - enables placement adjacent to connectors on space-constrained mobile PCBs |
Pinout & Package
The DF2B7AE is housed in the ESC surface-mount package (0.8 mm × 1.2 mm, 1.4 mg typical weight), with two terminals configured for bidirectional ESD clamping. Pin 1 and Pin 2 are symmetrical; either may serve as I/O while the other connects to GND per layout configuration.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Bidirectional ESD clamp terminal | Connect to protected I/O line (e.g., USB D+); GND must be connected to Pin 2 for functional protection |
| Pin 2 | Bidirectional ESD clamp terminal | Connect to system ground; completes low-impedance path for transient current during ESD event |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Snapback-triggered conduction | Enables sub-nanosecond response and stable low-clamp behavior without parasitic oscillation |
| 0.2 Ω dynamic resistance | Reduces clamping voltage overshoot by >30% vs. conventional TVS diodes under 4 A TLP stress |
| ±30 kV IEC61000-4-2 rating | Meets highest-level ESD immunity required for consumer-facing ports without external shielding |
| 8.5 pF capacitance | Supports full-speed USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and analog audio signals without measurable insertion loss |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPD2E001DRYR | Single-channel, 5.5 V VRWM, 12 V VC @ 4 A, 12 pF Ct, SOT-5X3 package (1.0 mm × 1.45 mm) | Higher capacitance limits use to ≤100 Mbps interfaces; larger footprint reduces routing density | Select when legacy SOT-5X3 assembly infrastructure exists and USB 2.0 speed is not required |
| ESD5Z3.3T5G | 3.3 V VRWM, ±22 kV ESD rating, 10.5 V VC @ 4 A, 35 pF Ct, SOD-523 package (1.2 mm × 0.8 mm) | Lower working voltage restricts use to 3.3 V rails; higher capacitance degrades high-speed signal fidelity | Prefer only for cost-sensitive 3.3 V GPIO protection where bandwidth is non-critical |
Compared with TPD2E001DRYR and ESD5Z3.3T5G, the DF2B7AE delivers superior high-speed interface support via its 8.5 pF capacitance and 11 V clamping, while maintaining identical 5.5 V operating margin and matching ESC footprint density - making it optimal for next-generation mobile USB/HDMI/audio designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum working voltage supported by the DF2B7AE?
The DF2B7AE has a working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of 5.5 V, meaning it is rated for continuous operation on 5 V signal lines such as USB, HDMI, and audio interfaces. Exceeding this voltage risks premature conduction or increased leakage current. The DF2B7AE maintains stable performance up to this limit while delivering ±30 kV ESD protection per IEC61000-4-2.
Does the DF2B7AE require orientation during PCB placement?
No - the DF2B7AE is a bidirectional ESD diode with symmetrical pin configuration. Either Pin 1 or Pin 2 can serve as the I/O connection point, provided the other is tied to system ground. This eliminates polarity concerns during automated placement and simplifies layout for differential or shared-ground interfaces like USB D+/D− or audio TRRS lines.
What is the clamping voltage of the DF2B7AE under a 4 A ESD pulse?
The DF2B7AE delivers a typical clamping voltage (VC) of 11 V at 4 A peak pulse current (IPP), measured per IEC61000-4-5 8/20 µs waveform. This value ensures protected ICs - such as USB transceivers or HDMI receivers - remain below their absolute maximum voltage ratings during transient events. The DF2B7AE achieves this with 0.2 Ω dynamic resistance, minimizing IR-induced overshoot.
Can the DF2B7AE be used on high-speed interfaces like USB 2.0?
Yes - the DF2B7AE's 8.5 pF typical capacitance at 0 V ensures minimal signal distortion on full-speed USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) links. Its low dynamic resistance and snapback behavior preserve signal edge integrity during ESD events without introducing ringing or jitter. The DF2B7AE is routinely deployed on USB data lanes in smartphones and tablets where board space and bandwidth are simultaneously constrained.
What package type does the DF2B7AE use, and what are its dimensions?
The DF2B7AE uses Toshiba's ESC package: a 2-terminal surface-mount device measuring 0.8 mm × 1.2 mm with a typical weight of 1.4 mg. This ultra-compact footprint enables placement directly at connector pads in mobile designs where PCB real estate is highly constrained. The ESC package is distinct from standard SOD-523 or SC-79 outlines and requires dedicated land pattern dimensions per Toshiba's datasheet drawing.
