Product details
Overview
DT1240A-04LP from Diodes Incorporated is a 4-channel low-capacitance TVS diode array designed for ESD and surge protection of high-speed I/O lines, featuring 0.55 pF typical channel capacitance, 5 V reverse breakdown voltage (min), 5.5 A peak pulse current (IEC 61000-4-5), and ±14 kV contact / ±16 kV air ESD rating per IEC 61000-4-2 - deployed in USB 3.0, HDMI 2.0, and Serial ATA interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the DT1240A-04LP datasheet, DT1240A-04LP pinout, DT1240A-04LP application, or DT1240A-04LP equivalent, key selection criteria include channel input capacitance (<0.65 pF), clamping voltage at 5.5 A (8.2 V), dynamic resistance (0.2 Ω), package footprint compatibility (U-DFN2510-10), and compliance with IEC 61000-4-2/4-5 for high-speed serial port hardening.
Technical Context
The DT1240A-04LP integrates four independent bidirectional TVS diodes between I/O pins and VSS, each with a 5 V nominal breakdown threshold and sub-10 V clamping under 5.5 A 8/20 µs surge. Its U-DFN2510-10 package enables compact routing for differential pairs without signal integrity degradation.
It operates within -55°C to +85°C ambient, supports 3.6 V DC working voltage, and delivers 7.5 V ESD clamping (TLP, 10 A, 100 ns) with 0.2 Ω dynamic resistance - enabling fast transient response while maintaining <1 µA leakage at 3.3 V reverse bias.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channels | 4 independent bidirectional ESD protection paths |
| VBR (Min) | 5 V - ensures reliable triggering above 3.3 V I/O rail without false activation |
| CI/O (Typ) | 0.55 pF - preserves signal integrity on >5 Gbps links (e.g., USB 3.0, HDMI 2.0) |
| IPP (Max) | 5.5 A (8/20 µs) - withstands lightning-induced surges per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 |
| VC @ 5.5 A | 8.2 V - limits downstream IC stress during surge events |
| ESD Rating | ±14 kV contact / ±16 kV air - exceeds IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 immunity requirement |
Pinout & Package
Package: U-DFN2510-10 (2.5 mm × 1.0 mm, 0.5 mm pitch, 0.575 mm height), lead-free, halogen-free, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 4, 5 | I/O Channel Terminal | Each connects to one protected high-speed data line (e.g., USB D+/D−, HDMI TMDS+) |
| 3, 8 | VSS (Ground) | Common cathode connection point for all four TVS diodes; requires low-inductance ground plane |
| 6, 7, 9, 10 | No Connection | Unbonded die pads - no internal connection; must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional ESD Clamping | 7.5 V at 10 A TLP - protects AC-coupled and differential signals without polarity constraints |
| Low Dynamic Resistance | 0.2 Ω - minimizes voltage overshoot during fast transients (tP = 100 ns) |
| Ultra-Low Capacitance Matching | ΔCI/O = 0.04 pF max - ensures <0.5% skew between parallel channels in multi-lane interfaces |
| RoHS & Green Compliance | Lead-free, halogen-free (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb), UL 94V-0 molding compound |
Applications
| USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Interface | HDMI 2.0 TMDS Channels |

Use Scenario: Protecting differential TX/RX pairs in host/device ports against ESD events during hot-plug insertion. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive bidirectional clamping device placed immediately before connector, referenced to system ground. Use Value: 0.55 pF capacitance avoids signal rise-time degradation (<10 ps impact on 5 Gbps eye diagram), while 8.2 V clamping prevents damage to SerDes PHYs rated for 1.2 V core and 3.3 V I/O. |
Use Scenario: Shielding TMDS clock and data lanes from electrostatic discharge in consumer AV equipment and embedded displays. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Four-channel TVS array with matched capacitance across all lanes to preserve differential timing skew. Use Value: ΔCI/O ≤ 0.04 pF ensures <0.3° phase mismatch at 3 GHz (HDMI 2.0 max pixel clock), preventing jitter-induced bit errors. |
| Serial ATA III (6 Gbps) | PCI Express® Gen 2 (5 GT/s) |
|
Use Scenario: Safeguarding SATA transmitter/receiver pins on motherboards and storage controllers against handling ESD. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance shunt protector located at PCB edge, minimizing stub length to preserve 100 Ω differential impedance. Use Value: 0.2 Ω dynamic resistance limits clamping overshoot to <150 mV above VBR, avoiding false triggering of SATA link training sequences. |
Use Scenario: Hardening PCIe root complex and endpoint lanes in industrial computing modules against board-level ESD. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Per-lane TVS protection with shared VSS reference to reduce ground bounce during multi-pin discharge events. Use Value: ±16 kV air discharge rating meets EN 55032 Class B immunity requirements for PCIe add-in cards operating in noisy factory environments. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for DT1240A-04LP?
The DT1240A-04LP is rated for operation from -55°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This range is validated per JEDEC JESD22-A104 and supports deployment in extended-temperature industrial and automotive cabin applications when paired with appropriate thermal design.
Can DT1240A-04LP be used for unidirectional protection?
No - the DT1240A-04LP is inherently bidirectional due to its symmetrical TVS structure between each I/O pin and VSS. It provides equal clamping for positive and negative transients and is not configurable for unidirectional operation.
Is the U-DFN2510-10 package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes - the U-DFN2510-10 package is qualified for IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and supports standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C, 60 seconds max). Recommended pad layout dimensions are published in Diodes' package outline document #AP02009.
Does DT1240A-04LP meet AEC-Q200 requirements?
No - the DT1240A-04LP is not AEC-Q200 qualified. Diodes offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., D3V3M4UQ) with AEC-Q200 certification; this part is intended for commercial and industrial applications only.
