Product details
Overview
ESD122DMYR from Texas Instruments is a bidirectional 2-channel TVS ESD protection diode array designed for USB Type-C and HDMI 2.0 differential signal lines. It delivers ±17-kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact/air-gap ESD protection, 0.2 pF typical IO-to-GND capacitance, 5.1 V minimum DC breakdown voltage, and 8.4 V clamping voltage at 5-A TLP - enabling robust protection of 10-Gbps SuperSpeed+ interfaces without signal integrity degradation.
For engineers reviewing the ESD122DMYR datasheet, ESD122DMYR pinout, ESD122DMYR application, or ESD122DMYR equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low capacitance matching for USB 3.1 Gen 2/HDMI 2.0 differential pairs, symmetric flow-through X2SON package routing, industrial temperature operation (–40°C to +125°C), and verified 10,000-strike ESD endurance per IEC Level 4.
Technical Context
The ESD122DMYR implements a passive bidirectional clamping architecture using silicon avalanche diodes, triggering above ±5.1 V DC breakdown and clamping transients to ≤8.4 V at 5-A TLP. Its symmetrical 3-pin X2SON (DMY) layout places GND between two identical IO channels - optimized for differential high-speed routing with matched trace lengths and minimal via count in USB Type-C layouts.
It meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (±17 kV), IEC 61000-4-4 (80 A EFT), and IEC 61000-4-5 (2.5 A surge) standards while maintaining ≤0.27 pF max IO-to-GND capacitance and ≤0.14 pF channel-to-channel capacitance - critical for preserving 5-GHz signal integrity on SSTX/SSRX lanes.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
ESD122DMYR uses a 3-pin X2SON (DMY) package measuring 0.60 mm × 1.32 mm with 0.5-mm pitch and bottom-side thermal pad. The flow-through layout minimizes trace discontinuities and supports symmetric routing of differential pairs without vias.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground reference terminal | Low-inductance return path for ESD current; placed centrally to balance coupling to both IO channels. |
| IO1 | ESD-protected input/output channel 1 | Connects to one side of differential pair (e.g., SSTX1P or TMDS_D0+); bidirectionally clamps to GND. |
| IO2 | ESD-protected input/output channel 2 | Connects to complementary side of same differential pair (e.g., SSTX1N or TMDS_D0−); matched electrical characteristics to IO1. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Two-channel symmetric protection | Identical IO1/IO2 channels with matched capacitance (ΔCL ≤ 0.01 pF) - preserves differential signal skew and common-mode rejection. |
| Flow-through X2SON package | DMY variant (0.6 × 1.32 mm, 0.5-mm pitch) enables straight PCB trace routing across device - eliminates vias in high-speed lanes. |
| 10,000-strike ESD endurance | Retains full specification after ≥10,000 ±17-kV contact discharges - ensures long-term reliability in field-deployed USB-C ports. |
| Ultra-low dynamic resistance | 0.5 Ω - minimizes clamping voltage overshoot and improves energy dissipation efficiency during fast transients. |
| Industrial temperature range | –40°C to +125°C operation - qualified for use in thermally demanding environments including automotive cabins and enclosed servers. |
Applications
| USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C Port | HDMI 2.0 Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting SSTX1P/SSTX1N and SSRX1P/SSRX1N differential lanes on a laptop or dock USB-C port exposed to user-handling ESD. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive bidirectional TVS clamp placed directly at connector, diverting ESD current to chassis ground before reaching USB 3.1 PHY. Use Value: Maintains 10-Gbps signal integrity (≤0.27 pF) while surviving repeated ±17-kV contact discharges - eliminating need for vias and reducing board layer count. |
Use Scenario: Shielding TMDS clock and data differential pairs (e.g., TMDS_D0+/D0−, CLK+/CLK−) on a 4K monitor or set-top box HDMI 2.0 port. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance ESD shunt on each high-speed lane, triggered only during transients to avoid DC loading of 3.3-V TMDS drivers. Use Value: Enables 6-Gbps HDMI 2.0 operation with <0.5 dB insertion loss up to 3 GHz - validated via eye diagram comparison with/without device. |
| Thunderbolt 2 Interface | PCIe 3.0 Add-in Card Edge Connector |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding differential SerDes lanes in Thunderbolt 2 host controllers or peripherals where ESD exposure occurs at the external Mini DisplayPort connector. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Two-channel ESD suppressor per differential pair (e.g., CH0+, CH0−), placed within 3 mm of connector per layout guidelines. Use Value: Supports 20-Gbps aggregate bandwidth (10 Gbps per direction) with sub-0.3 pF loading - preventing jitter accumulation and bit-error-rate degradation. |
Use Scenario: Adding discrete ESD protection to PCIe 3.0 x4 or x16 edge connectors on industrial GPU or FPGA carrier boards where integrated protection is insufficient. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Channel-matched TVS array protecting individual TX/RX differential lanes (e.g., PERST#, REFCLK+, REFCLK−) against handling and cable-discharge events. Use Value: Delivers 8.4-V clamping at 5-A TLP while adding <0.02 UI jitter - meeting PCIe 3.0 compliance margin for 8 GT/s signaling. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ESD122DMXR | Same die, smaller 0.6 × 1.0 mm X2SON (DMX) package with 0.34-mm pitch - higher density but tighter routing constraints. | Better suited for space-constrained mobile PCBs; requires finer-pitch layout and may increase trace impedance discontinuity. | Select ESD122DMXR when board area is premium and layout supports 0.34-mm pitch; ESD122DMYR preferred for manufacturability and thermal performance. |
| TPD4E05U06 | 4-channel device in X2SON-10 package; 0.5 pF typical IO-to-GND capacitance - higher than ESD122DMYR's 0.2 pF. | Designed for lower-speed lines (CC, SBU, DP/DM) in USB-C; not suitable for 10-Gbps SSTX/SSRX due to capacitance penalty. | Use TPD4E05U06 for auxiliary USB-C lines; ESD122DMYR remains optimal for primary SuperSpeed+ differential pairs requiring ultra-low capacitance. |
Compared with ESD122DMXR, ESD122DMYR offers relaxed 0.5-mm pitch and larger thermal pad for improved heat dissipation in high-reliability systems; compared with TPD4E05U06, it delivers half the capacitance required for Gen 2 data rates - making ESD122DMYR the only viable choice for USB 3.1 Gen 2 and HDMI 2.0 differential lane protection.

FAQ
What is the exact package type and dimensions of ESD122DMYR?
ESD122DMYR uses the X2SON (DMY) package: 3-pin, 0.60 mm × 1.32 mm body size, 0.5-mm pitch, and exposed thermal pad. This flow-through configuration allows direct in-line routing of differential signals without vias - critical for maintaining impedance control on USB 3.1 Gen 2 SSTX/SSRX traces. The DMY variant is distinct from the smaller DMX package used in ESD122DMXR.
Does ESD122DMYR support USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) operation?
Yes, ESD122DMYR supports USB 3.1 Gen 2 operation with verified performance: 0.2 pF typical IO-to-GND capacitance and ≤0.14 pF channel-to-channel capacitance preserve signal integrity up to 5 GHz. TI's application note SLVSDP5A includes measured 10-Gbps eye diagrams showing negligible degradation - confirming suitability for SuperSpeed+ differential lanes in Type-C implementations.
What is the clamping voltage behavior of ESD122DMYR under real ESD stress?
ESD122DMYR clamps to 8.4 V at 5-A TLP (transmission line pulse) current, with dynamic resistance of 0.5 Ω. This low clamping level - combined with fast response (<1 ns) - limits voltage overshoot seen by protected PHY ICs during ±17-kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharges. The device maintains this performance across –40°C to +125°C and after ≥10,000 ESD strikes.
Can ESD122DMYR be used on HDMI 2.0 TMDS differential pairs?
Yes, ESD122DMYR is explicitly qualified for HDMI 2.0: its 0.27 pF max IO-to-GND capacitance supports 6-Gbps data rates with sufficient margin, and its ±5.1 V DC breakdown safely protects 3.3-V TMDS drivers. TI's SLVSDP5A datasheet includes HDMI 2.0 schematic examples and 6-Gbps eye diagrams validating signal fidelity with ESD122DMYR installed on all four TMDS data pairs and clock pair.
How does ESD122DMYR differ from single-channel ESD protection devices?
ESD122DMYR integrates two matched, independent ESD protection channels in one X2SON package - enabling simultaneous protection of differential signal pairs (e.g., SSTX1P/SSTX1N) with identical electrical characteristics. This eliminates channel-to-channel capacitance mismatch (ΔCL ≤ 0.01 pF), preserves common-mode noise rejection, and avoids the layout complexity of placing two separate single-channel devices near a high-speed connector.
