Product details
Overview
ESD5384NCTBG from onsemi is a 5-line HDMI control line ESD protection diode in WLCSP9 package, featuring integrated pull-up (1.75 kΩ, 27 kΩ), pull-down (100 kΩ), and low line capacitance (12 pF max) for SDA, SCL, CEC, HPD, and 5V lines. It delivers ±15 kV air/±8 kV contact IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD protection and operates from −30°C to +85°C. Used in HDMI interfaces of smartphones and tablets.
For engineers reviewing the ESD5384NCTBG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include integrated resistor values per line, clamping voltage under 8 kV contact discharge, WLCSP9 footprint compatibility, and HDMI-specific line assignment (HPD, SDA, SCL, CEC, 5V).
Technical Context
The ESD5384NCTBG implements five independent bidirectional ESD protection channels with dedicated internal resistors: two 1.75 kΩ pull-ups (RPU, RPU2), one 27 kΩ pull-up (for CEC), one 100 kΩ pull-down (for HPD), and one 5V-tolerant line. Each channel meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 with clamping verified per line via oscilloscope screenshots across all five pins.
It uses silicon avalanche diode structures for fast response (<1 ns), with breakdown voltage (VBR) specified at 6–20 V and leakage current (IRM) ≤200 nA at 3 V (excluding HPD) and ≤32 A at HPD - confirming its dual-role design as both ESD clamp and bus biasing element for HDMI DDC and hot-plug detection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| ESD Rating | ±15 kV air / ±8 kV contact per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 - protects HDMI control lines against real-world handling and system-level ESD events. |
| Line Capacitance | 12 pF max - preserves signal integrity on high-speed HDMI DDC (I²C) bus without distorting SCL/SDA rise/fall times. |
| Breakdown Voltage | 6–20 V (Ir = 1 mA) - ensures robust turn-on before damage to downstream HDMI PHY or controller I/O. |
| Pull-up Resistance | 1.75 kΩ (SCL/SDA), 27 kΩ (CEC) - matches HDMI specification requirements for bus termination and logic level definition. |
| Pull-down Resistance | 100 kΩ (HPD) - enables reliable hot-plug detect assertion while minimizing standby current draw. |
| Operating Temp | −30°C to +85°C - supports deployment in mobile consumer devices with constrained thermal envelopes. |
Pinout & Package
ESD5384NCTBG is housed in a 1.14 mm × 1.14 mm × 0.605 mm WLCSP9 (Case 567CX) package with solder bumps on the bottom side. The die orientation follows standard bump mapping with A1 as reference corner.

| A3 | CEC | Consumer Electronics Control line I/O - bidirectionally protected with 27 kΩ pull-up and ±15 kV ESD rating. |
| B1 | GND | Ground reference - common return path for all ESD current shunting and resistor networks. |
| B2/C2 | GND | Dual ground terminals - reduce impedance for high-frequency ESD current return and improve layout symmetry. |
| B3 | SCL | I²C serial clock line - protected with 1.75 kΩ pull-up and low 12 pF capacitance to maintain DDC timing compliance. |
| C1 | HPD | Hot Plug Detect input - includes 100 kΩ pull-down for sink-mode detection and ±15 kV air discharge protection. |
| C3 | SDA | I²C serial data line - bidirectionally protected with same 1.75 kΩ pull-up and clamping as SCL. |
| C2 | RPU | Second 1.75 kΩ pull-up output - dedicated to SDA line biasing in HDMI DDC interface. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection + integrated bias applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ESD5382NCTBG | 4-line version (no CEC line); identical WLCSP9 package, same resistor values for SDA/SCL/HPD/5V. | Lacks CEC support - suitable only for legacy HDMI designs omitting Consumer Electronics Control functionality. | Select when CEC is unused and board space allows consolidation of fewer lines. |
| ESD7383MUTAG | 5-line, SOT-563 package; higher capacitance (15 pF), no integrated resistors - requires 5 external pull-ups/pull-downs. | Requires additional passives and larger PCB area; better suited for cost-sensitive, non-space-constrained industrial HDMI ports. | Choose if WLCSP assembly capability is unavailable or if higher power handling (>15 kV) is prioritized over integration. |
Compared with ESD5382NCTBG and ESD7383MUTAG, the ESD5384NCTBG uniquely combines full 5-line HDMI control coverage, on-die 1.75 kΩ/27 kΩ/100 kΩ resistors, and 12 pF capacitance in a 1.14 mm² footprint - delivering highest integration density and lowest BOM overhead for mobile HDMI interfaces.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the ESD5384NCTBG in an HDMI interface?
The ESD5384NCTBG provides bidirectional ESD protection and integrated biasing for five HDMI control lines: SDA, SCL, CEC, HPD, and 5V. It combines low-capacitance diode clamps (≤12 pF) with precision on-die resistors (1.75 kΩ, 27 kΩ, 100 kΩ) to replace discrete protection diodes and pull-up/pull-down networks. This ensures robust ±15 kV air/±8 kV contact ESD immunity while maintaining HDMI DDC timing compliance - a core requirement in ESD5384NCTBG deployments.
Does the ESD5384NCTBG require external pull-up or pull-down resistors?
No, the ESD5384NCTBG integrates all required biasing resistors internally: two 1.75 kΩ pull-ups (for SCL and SDA), one 27 kΩ pull-up (for CEC), and one 100 kΩ pull-down (for HPD). Its 5V pin supplies the reference for these networks. This eliminates six external passives, reduces PCB area, and prevents layout-induced mismatches in HDMI DDC and hot-plug circuits - a key advantage confirmed in ESD5384NCTBG's typical application schematic.
What is the package type and size of the ESD5384NCTBG?
The ESD5384NCTBG uses a 9-bump Wafer-Level Chip Scale Package (WLCSP9), designated Case 567CX, measuring 1.14 mm × 1.14 mm × 0.605 mm. Its bump-side-down mounting and 0.40 mm pitch enable ultra-compact placement adjacent to HDMI connectors in space-constrained mobile designs - a critical feature validated in ESD5384NCTBG's mechanical drawings and footprint recommendations.
How does the ESD5384NCTBG handle ESD clamping on different HDMI lines?
The ESD5384NCTBG provides line-specific clamping verified via oscilloscope screenshots in its datasheet: Figures 3–12 show clamping waveforms for CEC, SCL, SDA, HPD, and 5V under ±8 kV contact discharge. Each line exhibits distinct clamping behavior due to its dedicated resistor network and diode structure - for example, HPD clamps below 12 V while CEC maintains <15 V, ensuring safe operation for all connected HDMI PHYs in ESD5384NCTBG-based systems.
Is the ESD5384NCTBG compatible with HDMI 2.0 and later standards?
Yes, the ESD5384NCTBG is fully compatible with HDMI 2.0 and later standards. Its 12 pF max line capacitance meets HDMI DDC timing requirements for 400 kHz I²C operation, and its pinout directly maps to HDMI Type-A/C control line assignments (SDA, SCL, CEC, HPD, 5V). The device's −30°C to +85°C operating range and Pb-free WLCSP9 package align with HDMI 2.1 implementation guidelines - making ESD5384NCTBG suitable for next-generation HDMI interface protection.
