Product details
Overview
ECMF02-2HSMX6 from STMicroelectronics is a 2-line ESD-protected common mode filter for USB3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) differential pairs, featuring –20 dB common mode attenuation at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, 7–9 Ω DC serial resistance, ±8 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact ESD protection, and QFN-6L (1.5 × 1.7 × 0.5 mm) package. It suppresses RFI/EMI in mobile phone antenna regions while preserving signal integrity on high-speed Tx/Rx lines.
For engineers reviewing the ECMF02-2HSMX6 datasheet, ECMF02-2HSMX6 pinout, ECMF02-2HSMX6 application, or ECMF02-2HSMX6 equivalent, key selection criteria include common mode attenuation bandwidth (300 MHz–6 GHz), differential impedance matching (100 Ω), skew control, USB3.2 Gen 2 eye diagram compliance, and µQFN-6L footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The device integrates two matched common mode chokes with integrated ESD diodes per line, enabling simultaneous filtering and ±8 kV contact ESD clamping without degrading differential signal fidelity. Its architecture targets full-duplex SuperSpeed USB3.2 lanes operating up to 10 Gbps, with minimal insertion loss (<0.5 dB typical at 5 GHz) and return loss >12 dB across 1–6 GHz.
Designed specifically for host/device-side USB3.2 interface protection, it operates over –55 °C to +125 °C ambient, supports 100 mA DC current per line, and maintains <0.3 ps differential skew to prevent timing violations in high-speed serial links.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar common mode filter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TDK MEM2012P50R0 | Single-line, 50 Ω common mode impedance; no integrated ESD diodes; requires external TVS | Limited to USB2.0 or low-speed differential buses; not validated for USB3.2 Gen 2 eye compliance | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs integration benefit and ESD robustness is handled externally |
| ON Semiconductor NUF2221MUTAG | 2-line, 100 Ω impedance, but only –12 dB CM attenuation at 5 GHz; ±15 kV air discharge ESD rating | Lower RF filtering performance; suitable for less demanding EMI environments where higher ESD margin is critical | Choose when system-level ESD testing exceeds ±8 kV contact but USB3.2 radiation limits are relaxed |
Compared with TDK MEM2012P50R0 and ON Semi NUF2221MUTAG, ECMF02-2HSMX6 uniquely delivers Gen 2–compliant eye diagrams, –20 dB CM attenuation at 5 GHz, and monolithic ESD+CMF integration-enabling smaller footprints and eliminating discrete TVS placement and routing complexity.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by ECMF02-2HSMX6?
ECMF02-2HSMX6 is validated for USB3.2 Gen 2 operation at 10 Gbps, with eye diagram compliance confirmed in Figures 16–17 of DS9863 Rev 4. Its differential insertion loss remains below 0.5 dB up to 6 GHz, supporting full Gen 2 bandwidth without equalization degradation.
Can Pin 4 (D+ IC) and Pin 5 (D– IC) be left unconnected?
Yes - Pins 4 and 5 are designated "To be left floating" per the functional diagram and datasheet. They are not internally connected and must remain un-routed on PCB to avoid parasitic coupling or unintended grounding paths that degrade common mode rejection.
Does ECMF02-2HSMX6 require external bias or control signals?
No - ECMF02-2HSMX6 is a passive, fully integrated filter with no external bias, enable pins, or configuration interfaces. It operates transparently in-series with the differential pair and requires only proper GND connection (Pin 3) and correct PCB layout per ST's footprint recommendations.
How does ECMF02-2HSMX6 compare to discrete CMF + TVS solutions in terms of board area?
ECMF02-2HSMX6 occupies 2.55 mm² (1.5 × 1.7 mm), replacing ~3 discrete components (two CM chokes + one dual-channel TVS) requiring ≥6 mm² total area including spacing. This 58% reduction enables placement directly at USB-C connector pads, minimizing stub length and improving high-frequency EMI performance.
