Product details
Overview
DF2S8.2CT from Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation is an ESD protection diode in a CST2 package, featuring ±30 kV IEC61000-4-2 contact discharge rating, 8.2 V typical zener voltage at 5 mA, and 0.5 µA max reverse current at 6.5 V, deployed for high-reliability USB data line protection in portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the DF2S8.2CT datasheet, DF2S8.2CT pinout, DF2S8.2CT application, or DF2S8.2CT equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under transient ESD stress, low dynamic impedance for fast response, ultra-low capacitance for signal integrity preservation, and compatibility with high-speed interfaces such as USB 2.0 and HDMI.
Technical Context
This device implements a single-channel silicon epitaxial planar Zener diode structure optimized for bidirectional ESD suppression. It operates exclusively in reverse-biased clamp mode with no voltage regulation function, and its electrical behavior is defined strictly by breakdown characteristics-not steady-state regulation.
The DF2S8.2CT delivers 8.2 V nominal zener voltage with ±0.5 V tolerance, 20 Ω typical dynamic impedance, and 0.6 pF typical total capacitance at 0 V, enabling minimal signal distortion on high-frequency lines while maintaining robust ±30 kV ESD immunity per IEC61000-4-2 contact discharge test.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 8.2 V typical at IZ = 5 mA - sets precise clamping threshold for transient overvoltage events |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 20 Ω typical at IZ = 5 mA - ensures low-voltage overshoot during fast ESD pulses |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 0.5 µA max at VR = 6.5 V - guarantees negligible leakage in normal operating bias |
| Total Capacitance (Ct) | 0.6 pF typical at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz - preserves signal integrity on USB 2.0 and audio lines |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV per IEC61000-4-2 contact discharge - meets highest industrial ESD immunity requirement |
| Junction Temperature | 150 °C max - supports operation in compact, thermally constrained PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
DF2S8.2CT uses the CST2 surface-mount package (TOSHIBA designation: 1-1P1S), measuring 1.0 × 0.6 × 0.35 mm with typical weight of 0.7 mg. This ultra-compact two-terminal device has no internal active control logic and relies solely on passive Zener clamping behavior.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode | Connected to protected line; conducts during positive transients when referenced to ground |
| 2 | Anode | Connected to system ground; completes clamp path during negative ESD events |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional ESD Clamping | Enables single-device protection of AC-coupled or differential signal lines without polarity constraints |
| Ultra-Low Capacitance | 0.6 pF typical ensures <1% signal attenuation at 480 MHz (USB 2.0 full-speed bandwidth) |
| High ESD Withstand Level | ±30 kV IEC61000-4-2 contact discharge exceeds EN 61000-4-2 Level 4 requirements |
| Precision Zener Threshold | 7.7–8.7 V guaranteed VZ range allows accurate margining against interface I/O voltage rails |
Applications
| USB 2.0 Data Lines | HDMI DDC Channel |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting D+ and D− pins of USB 2.0 transceivers against human-body-model and IEC61000-4-2 ESD events during plug/unplug cycles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive bidirectional clamp diode placed directly at connector, shunting ESD current to ground before it reaches the PHY. Use Value: 0.6 pF capacitance prevents signal rise-time degradation; ±30 kV rating eliminates need for secondary protection stages. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding the I²C-based Display Data Channel (DDC) lines between source and display in HDMI 1.4/2.0 systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance transient voltage suppressor on SDA/SCL lines, preserving 100 kHz I²C timing margins. Use Value: Sub-1 pF capacitance avoids clock stretching or arbitration failure; 8.2 V VZ aligns with 3.3 V I/O rail headroom. |
| Smartphone Audio Jacks | Industrial Sensor Interface |
Use Scenario: ESD protection for analog audio paths (MIC, HP_L/R) exposed via 3.5 mm TRRS jacks in handheld devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Signal-line protector with minimal parasitic loading, placed adjacent to jack to intercept discharge before codec input. Use Value: 0.5 µA max leakage prevents DC offset errors; 20 Ω ZZ limits clamping overshoot to <100 mV above rail. | Use Scenario: Shielding 4–20 mA current-loop sensor inputs or RS-485 receiver pins from field-induced ESD in factory automation equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone transient suppressor mounted at terminal block entry point, grounded to chassis earth. Use Value: 150 °C Tj rating supports operation near heat-generating PLC modules; ±30 kV rating covers worst-case maintenance-handling events. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor NZQ2S8.2T5G | Same CST2 package, 8.2 V VZ, but 1.0 pF Ct (vs. 0.6 pF) and ±25 kV ESD rating | Higher capacitance may degrade >200 MHz signal edges; lower ESD margin requires additional layout shielding | Prefer DF2S8.2CT where USB 2.0 or HDMI signal fidelity is critical |
| Vishay ESDE08V23D04 | DFN1006-2L package, 8.2 V VZ, 0.5 pF Ct, but only ±15 kV IEC61000-4-2 rating | Limited to consumer-grade ESD environments; not suitable for industrial handling scenarios | Select DF2S8.2CT when ±30 kV compliance is mandatory per system-level EMC test plan |
Compared with NZQ2S8.2T5G and ESDE08V23D04, the DF2S8.2CT provides superior ESD immunity and lower capacitance in the same footprint-enabling higher-speed interface protection without compromising board space or reliability margin.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the DF2S8.2CT?
The DF2S8.2CT is a dedicated bidirectional ESD protection diode, not a voltage regulator. Its sole function is to clamp transient overvoltages-specifically electrostatic discharge events-to safe levels using Zener breakdown, with no capability for continuous voltage regulation or power handling beyond specified pulse conditions.
Does the DF2S8.2CT support unidirectional or bidirectional ESD protection?
The DF2S8.2CT provides bidirectional ESD protection due to its symmetrical Zener structure. Pin 1 (cathode) and Pin 2 (anode) form a reversible clamp path, allowing it to suppress both positive and negative ESD transients on the same signal line without polarity constraints.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for the DF2S8.2CT?
The DF2S8.2CT has a maximum junction temperature (Tj) rating of 150 °C, as specified in Toshiba's absolute maximum ratings table. This limit applies under continuous operation and must be respected in thermal design, especially when used near heat-generating components or in sealed enclosures.
Can the DF2S8.2CT be used for voltage regulation applications?
No-the DF2S8.2CT is explicitly designed and rated only for ESD protection. Toshiba's documentation states it is "not intended for any other purpose, including, but not limited to, voltage regulation." Its parameters (e.g., VZ tolerance, dynamic impedance) are optimized for transient clamping, not stable DC regulation.
What does the marking code 'YG' indicate on the DF2S8.2CT package?
The marking code 'YG' laser-etched on the top surface of the DF2S8.2CT identifies the specific device variant within Toshiba's CST2 diode family. It corresponds uniquely to the DF2S8.2CT part number and is used for traceability and visual verification during assembly and inspection.
