Product details
Overview
DF3D36FU,LF from Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation is a unidirectional ESD protection diode in USM package, rated for 28 V working peak reverse voltage, ±20 kV IEC61000-4-2 contact ESD immunity, and 6.5 pF typical capacitance-designed to safeguard high-speed USB 2.0 data lines against electrostatic discharge events.
For engineers reviewing the DF3D36FU,LF datasheet, DF3D36FU,LF pinout, DF3D36FU,LF application, or DF3D36FU,LF equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage at 2.5 A (≤60 V), dynamic resistance (≤8 Ω), low leakage (<0.1 µA at 28 V), and compatibility with compact portable electronics requiring minimal signal distortion.
Technical Context
The DF3D36FU,LF employs a silicon epitaxial planar structure optimized for fast transient response and low capacitance. It operates as a single-channel unidirectional TVS diode with grounded cathode configuration, supporting IEC61000-4-2 and ISO10605 compliance via defined clamp behavior under 8/20 µs surge pulses.
Its electrical behavior is characterized by a sharp reverse breakdown at 36 V (typ.), clamping to ≤60 V at 2.5 A peak pulse current, and maintaining ≤6.5 pF total capacitance at 0 V-enabling integration into 480 Mbps USB 2.0 interfaces without signal integrity degradation.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPD2E001DRYR | Bi-directional configuration; 10 pF typical capacitance; lower 12 V VRWM. | Suitable for bidirectional signal lines (e.g., USB ID pin, audio jack); not rated for 28 V working voltage. | Select when protecting symmetric analog/digital signals where polarity reversal may occur. |
| ESD9X3.3SFT5G | Unidirectional; 3.3 V VRWM; 12 pF capacitance; higher 15 kV IEC61000-4-2 rating. | Optimized for 3.3 V logic rails (e.g., SDIO, eMMC); insufficient for 28 V USB VBUS-adjacent placement. | Prefer for low-voltage I/O protection where VRWM < 5 V and capacitance tolerance >10 pF is acceptable. |
Compared with TPD2E001DRYR and ESD9X3.3SFT5G, the DF3D36FU,LF uniquely balances 28 V VRWM, ±20 kV ESD rating, and 6.5 pF capacitance-making it optimal for high-speed, medium-voltage data lines where unidirectional clamping and minimal signal loading are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum working voltage supported by DF3D36FU,LF?
The DF3D36FU,LF has a working peak reverse voltage (VRWM) of 28 V, meaning it can continuously block up to 28 V DC or peak AC voltage without entering breakdown. This makes DF3D36FU,LF suitable for protecting circuits operating near 24 V industrial buses or USB VBUS-adjacent signal lines, provided transient clamping remains within its 60 V limit at 2.5 A.
Does DF3D36FU,LF meet automotive ESD standards?
DF3D36FU,LF is rated for ±20 kV per IEC61000-4-2 (contact) and ISO10605 (contact), both referenced in automotive EMC test plans. While DF3D36FU,LF itself is not AEC-Q200 qualified, its electrical performance and thermal stability (−55 °C to +150 °C storage) support use in automotive infotainment USB ports when combined with appropriate system-level validation.
How does the USM package of DF3D36FU,LF affect PCB layout?
The USM package (1.2 × 0.8 mm) of DF3D36FU,LF requires precise land pattern alignment per Toshiba's recommended dimensions (Fig. 6.1). Its three-terminal layout-Pin 1 (anode), Pin 2 (cathode), Pin 3 (GND)-demands short, low-inductance traces to ground to maintain clamping speed; DF3D36FU,LF must be placed within 3 mm of the protected connector for optimal ESD suppression.
Can DF3D36FU,LF be used for bidirectional signal lines like USB ID or audio jack detection?
No-DF3D36FU,LF is a unidirectional ESD diode, configured with anode and cathode terminals referenced to GND. It only clamps positive transients on the anode relative to ground. For bidirectional lines such as USB ID or headset detection, a bi-directional device like TPD2E001DRYR is required; DF3D36FU,LF would not protect negative-going surges on those nodes.
What is the typical dynamic resistance of DF3D36FU,LF and why does it matter?
DF3D36FU,LF has a dynamic resistance (RDYN) of ≤8 Ω, measured using TLP with 8–16 A current range. This low value ensures rapid voltage stabilization during ESD events, minimizing overshoot and reducing energy dissipated in the protected IC. In practice, this means DF3D36FU,LF delivers tighter clamping control than higher-RDYN alternatives, enhancing system-level robustness.
