Product details
Overview
DSL04-008SC6 from STMicroelectronics is a low-capacitance bidirectional TVS diode array designed to protect VDSL2 line drivers in CPE and DSLAM equipment against IEC 61000-4-2 (±15 kV air / ±8 kV contact) and IEC 61000-4-5 (±1 kV, 42 Ω) surges. It features a 8 V working voltage (VRM), 10 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR), 25 A peak pulse current (8/20 µs), 1 pF typical junction capacitance, and 0.2 µA leakage at 25 °C.
For engineers reviewing the DSL04-008SC6 datasheet, DSL04-008SC6 pinout, DSL04-008SC6 application, or DSL04-008SC6 equivalent, key selection criteria include low capacitance for high-speed xDSL signal integrity, robust surge immunity for telecom infrastructure, and SOT23-6L footprint compatibility with space-constrained line card layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements a dual-channel, symmetric, bidirectional TVS structure with two independent protection paths (I/O1–+VLD–I/O2 and I/O1––VLD–I/O2), enabling flexible connection of the middle terminals (+VLD/–VLD) depending on grounding scheme and common-mode vs. differential surge requirements. Its low 1 pF capacitance ensures minimal signal distortion up to VDSL2 frequencies (30 MHz).
The junction design supports operation from –40 °C to +125 °C and withstands 30 kV peak pulse voltage per IEC 61000-4-5, while maintaining sub-1 µA leakage across temperature and meeting MIL-STD-883G Class 3 HBM (8 kV) requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage (VRM) | 8 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage; sets upper limit for protected line DC bias. |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 10 V min at 1 mA - Clamping initiates reliably above this threshold during transient events. |
| Clamping Voltage (VCL) | 25 V max at 15 A (8/20 µs) - Limits peak voltage seen by downstream driver during worst-case surge. |
| Junction Capacitance (C) | 1 pF typ at 2 V - Enables use in VDSL2 (up to 30 MHz) without degrading signal rise time or insertion loss. |
| Leakage Current (IRM) | 0.2 µA max at 25 °C - Ensures negligible DC loading on high-impedance line driver outputs. |
| Peak Pulse Current (Ipp) | 15 A (8/20 µs waveform) - Withstands repeated IEC 61000-4-5 level-2 surges without degradation. |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +125 °C - Supports deployment in uncontrolled telco cabinet environments. |
Pinout & Package
DSL04-008SC6 is housed in a RoHS-compliant, lead-free SOT23-6L package (ECOPACK® certified), measuring 2.8–3.05 mm × 1.5–1.75 mm × 1.3–1.6 mm (L × W × H), with 0.95 mm pitch and UL 94 V0 epoxy molding compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| I/O1 | Differential signal input/output terminal 1 | Connects to one side of twisted-pair line; forms primary protection path with +VLD and –VLD. |
| +VLD | Positive voltage reference node | Optional connection point for positive rail or floating reference; enables common-mode clamp configuration. |
| I/O2 | Differential signal input/output terminal 2 | Connects to second line conductor; completes bidirectional protection loop with I/O1. |
| I/O1 | Differential signal input/output terminal 1 (redundant pin) | Same electrical node as Pin 1; provided for layout symmetry and routing flexibility. |
| –VLD | Negative voltage reference node | Optional connection point for ground or negative rail; used with +VLD to configure dual-rail clamping. |
| I/O2 | Differential signal input/output terminal 2 (redundant pin) | Same electrical node as Pin 3; supports balanced PCB trace routing and thermal relief. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional dual-channel architecture | Enables simultaneous protection of both line conductors without polarity constraints or external biasing. |
| 1 pF typical junction capacitance | Preserves signal integrity in VDSL2 systems (up to 30 MHz) with <0.1 dB insertion loss at 10 MHz. |
| IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 compliance | Guarantees survival under ±15 kV air and ±8 kV contact ESD events in field-deployed CPE units. |
| SOT23-6L footprint | Provides compact, surface-mountable solution compatible with standard pick-and-place and reflow processes (JEDEC J-STD-020). |
| 0.2 µA leakage at 25 °C | Minimizes power loss and offset error in high-gain line driver front-ends operating near VRM. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar TVS diode array applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SP1002-008KTG | Unidirectional, 8 V VRWM, 12 V VBR, 1.5 pF Cj, 12 A Ipp (8/20 µs) | Lacks bidirectional capability and dual-rail reference terminals (+VLD/–VLD); requires separate ground-referenced placement. | Select when only unidirectional protection is needed and board space allows discrete placement per line. |
| ESD56081D05 | Bidirectional, 5 V VRWM, 6.5 V VBR, 0.9 pF Cj, 12 A Ipp (8/20 µs), SOT23-6 | Lower working voltage limits use to ≤5 V systems; not rated for VDSL2 line driver protection at 8–24 V bias. | Prefer for USB or low-voltage data lines; avoid for xDSL line-side protection due to insufficient VRWM margin. |
Compared with SP1002-008KTG and ESD56081D05, DSL04-008SC6 uniquely combines 8 V VRWM, bidirectional symmetry, dual reference terminals, and 1 pF capacitance-making it the only option qualified for direct integration into VDSL2 line driver protection circuits per IEC 61000-4-2/4-5.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous operating voltage for DSL04-008SC6?
The maximum continuous reverse operating voltage (VRM) is 8 V. This value defines the highest DC or RMS AC voltage that can be continuously applied across the device without exceeding specified leakage current limits (≤0.2 µA at 25 °C). Operation above 8 V risks premature conduction and accelerated aging.
Can +VLD and –VLD pins be left unconnected?
Yes. The +VLD and –VLD pins are optional reference terminals. When left unconnected, DSL04-008SC6 operates as a standard bidirectional differential TVS. Connecting them enables configurable common-mode clamping-e.g., tying –VLD to ground and +VLD to a positive rail creates asymmetric protection thresholds aligned with system biasing.
How does DSL04-008SC6 differ from DSL04-005SC6?
DSL04-008SC6 has a higher working voltage (8 V vs. 5 V VRM) and breakdown voltage (10 V vs. 6.5 V VBR), making it suitable for VDSL2 line drivers operating at higher bias voltages. Both share identical package, capacitance (1 pF), leakage (0.2 µA), and surge ratings-but DSL04-005SC6 is intended for lower-voltage ADSL/ISDN interfaces.
Is DSL04-008SC6 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes. DSL04-008SC6 uses a lead-free, RoHS-compliant SOT23-6L package qualified for standard JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow profiles, including peak temperatures up to 245 °C for 20–40 seconds. ST specifies a recommended profile with ramp rates ≤3 °C/s and a 60-second liquidus duration (max 90 s).
