Product details
Overview
DT1240A-08LP3810 from Diodes Incorporated is an 8-channel low-capacitance TVS diode array designed for high-speed I/O line protection in serial interface applications. It delivers 5V reverse working voltage, 0.6pF typical channel input capacitance, ±14kV contact/±16kV air ESD immunity per IEC 61000-4-2, and clamps to 7.5V at 5.5A (8/20µs), making it suitable for HDMI 2.0 and USB 3.1 data lanes.
For engineers reviewing the DT1240A-08LP3810 datasheet, DT1240A-08LP3810 pinout, DT1240A-08LP3810 application, or DT1240A-08LP3810 equivalent, key selection criteria include sub-1pF channel capacitance, multi-channel integrated ESD clamping, U-DFN3810-9 (Type B) footprint compatibility, and compliance with IEC 61000-4-2/4-5 surge standards for high-speed digital interfaces.
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent bidirectional TVS diodes in a single U-DFN3810-9 (Type B) package, each with a 5V reverse breakdown threshold and dynamic resistance of 0.25Ω under TLP testing. Its architecture enables simultaneous transient suppression across parallel high-speed signal pairs without crosstalk degradation.
The low 0.6pF input capacitance is achieved via optimized junction geometry and dielectric isolation, maintaining signal integrity up to 10Gbps in differential protocols. Clamping occurs at 7.5V (5.5A, 8/20µs) and 8.2V (10A, 100ns TLP), ensuring robust protection while minimizing voltage overshoot on sensitive transceivers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| Channels | 8 independent bidirectional ESD protection paths for parallel I/O lines |
| VRWM | 3.3V maximum reverse working voltage - ensures no leakage during normal 3.3V logic operation |
| VBR (Min) | 5V minimum breakdown voltage - triggers clamping before damage to 3.3V I/O buffers |
| CI/O (Typ) | 0.6pF typical input capacitance - preserves signal rise/fall times in USB 3.1/HDMI 2.0 links |

| ESD Rating | ±14kV contact / ±16kV air per IEC 61000-4-2 - exceeds industrial ESD immunity requirements |
| Clamping Voltage | 7.5V at 5.5A (8/20µs) - limits transient overvoltage below 1.2× supply rail of protected ICs |

Use Value: 0.25Ω dynamic resistance limits clamping delay to <1ns, preventing bit errors during 8GT/s encoding transitions. |
Use Scenario: Protecting DVI dual-link TMDS channels (up to 24 data + 3 clock lines) in industrial display controllers and video processors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One DT1240A-08LP3810 per 8-signal group; multiple units used to cover full 27-pin DVI interface.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-channel low-capacitance TVS array applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ8.0A | Single-channel SMA package; 8.0V VBR; 12pF capacitance - not multi-channel or low-C | Requires 8 discrete devices; unsuitable for >1Gbps interfaces due to capacitance | Select only for cost-sensitive, low-speed (<100Mbps) parallel bus protection |
| SP1006-08UTG | 8-channel, 0.5pF CI/O, 5.5V VBR, but rated only to ±12kV ESD (IEC 61000-4-2) | Lacks IEC 61000-4-5 surge rating; lower clamping voltage (6.8V @ 5.5A) | Prefer where ESD-only threat model applies and tighter clamping is critical |
Compared with SMAJ8.0A and SP1006-08UTG, DT1240A-08LP3810 uniquely combines 8-channel integration, 0.6pF capacitance, ±16kV ESD, and 5.5A surge capability in a 3.8×1.0mm footprint - enabling compact, high-fidelity protection for modern high-speed serial links without trade-offs in speed or robustness.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for DT1240A-08LP3810?
The DT1240A-08LP3810 operates reliably from –55°C to +150°C ambient temperature. This extended range supports deployment in automotive infotainment head units, industrial video encoders, and outdoor digital signage systems where thermal cycling and high-temperature PCB environments are common.
Does DT1240A-08LP3810 require external biasing or control signals?
No. DT1240A-08LP3810 is a passive, bidirectional TVS array with no external control pins or bias requirements. It functions automatically upon transient detection, drawing zero quiescent current during normal operation and activating only during ESD or surge events.
Can DT1240A-08LP3810 be used for unidirectional signal lines?
Yes - though optimized for bidirectional use, its symmetrical clamping behavior allows safe deployment on unidirectional lines. The 5V VBR and 7.5V clamping voltage ensure compatibility with 3.3V CMOS logic, and its low capacitance avoids signal degradation even in single-ended configurations.
Is there an automotive-grade version of this part?
Yes - the DT1240A-08LP3810Q is the AEC-Q101 qualified automotive variant, sharing identical electrical specs and package but tested to extended temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) and enhanced reliability standards for vehicle infotainment and ADAS camera interfaces.
