Product details
Overview
ESD6116 from onsemi is a single-channel Application Specific Integrated Passive (ASIP) transient voltage suppressor in a 4-bump WLCSP4 package (0.8 mm × 0.8 mm, 0.4 mm pitch). It delivers ±30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD protection, clamps transients to 20 V at 1 A, and exhibits 66–100 pF line capacitance at 5 V bias - optimized for high-speed USB 2.0 and HDMI interface protection.
For engineers reviewing the ESD6116 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its low clamping voltage (20 V), ultra-low 0.4 mm pitch CSP footprint, dual-channel symmetric layout (A1/A2 signal path, B1/B2 ground), and RF insertion loss performance across 80 MHz–4 GHz.
Technical Context
The ESD6116 implements a bidirectional TVS diode structure integrated into a chip-scale passive package, with no active control logic or external bias required. Its symmetrical A1/A2 input configuration supports differential signaling paths without polarity constraints.
It operates over −30°C to +85°C and maintains stable clamping behavior under 8/20 µs surge pulses up to 100 A²s I²t rating. Line capacitance shifts from 172 pF (0 V bias) to 66–100 pF (5 V bias), enabling compatibility with 480 Mbps USB 2.0 data lines while preserving signal integrity.

|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting USB 2.0 data lines (D+, D−) in smartphones, tablets, and docking stations from user-handling ESD events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional TVS suppressor placed immediately after connector, clamping transients before they reach USB PHY transceiver. Use Value: 20 V clamping voltage prevents latch-up or gate oxide damage in 3.3 V USB PHY I/O cells while 66–100 pF capacitance preserves 480 Mbps signal integrity. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding HDMI Display Data Channel (DDC) lines (SCL/SDA) against ESD during cable insertion in TVs, monitors, and set-top boxes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance transient suppressor mounted at HDMI receptacle, referenced to system ground with minimal trace length. Use Value: 172 pF capacitance at 0 V bias drops to ≤100 pF under 5 V DDC bus bias - avoids I²C timing violations while delivering ±30 kV contact discharge immunity. |
| MIPI D-PHY Data Lane Protection | Industrial Sensor Interface Protection |
Use Scenario: Shielding MIPI D-PHY high-speed data lanes (CLK, DATA) in camera modules and automotive ADAS sensors from assembly-line ESD. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Symmetric A1/A2 configuration allows direct placement across differential pairs without polarity assignment. Use Value: 0.4 mm pitch WLCSP4 enables co-placement with fine-pitch FPC connectors; 20 V clamping ensures compliance with MIPI D-PHY receiver absolute maximum ratings (±20 V). | Use Scenario: Protecting analog sensor outputs (e.g., temperature, pressure) in factory automation I/O modules exposed to maintenance personnel ESD. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-ended TVS device connected between sensor output line and ground, leveraging A1–B1 or A2–B2 pairing. Use Value: −30°C to +85°C operating range matches industrial ambient specs; 16 V breakdown ensures early conduction before 24 V sensor supply rail overstress occurs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TI TPD2E001DRYR | Same 2-channel, 0.8 mm × 0.8 mm WLCSP; 12 V breakdown, 15 V clamping at 1 A; 10 pF @ 0 V (lower capacitance) | Better suited for high-speed USB 3.0/PCIe where sub-15 pF is mandatory; less robust for ±30 kV systems | Select TPD2E001DRYR when lower capacitance is prioritized over peak ESD level; ESD6116 preferred for cost-sensitive ±30 kV industrial designs |
| Vishay VEML6030X01 | Not applicable - VEML6030X01 is an ambient light sensor, not a TVS device; invalid alternative | N/A | Do not substitute VEML6030X01; verified alternative is ON Semiconductor ESD7004MUTAG (4-channel, 1.0 mm × 1.0 mm, ±20 kV) |
Compared with TPD2E001DRYR, ESD6116 offers higher ESD immunity (±30 kV vs. ±8 kV) at the cost of higher capacitance - making it optimal for USB 2.0 and HDMI where robustness outweighs ultra-low-C needs. ESD7004MUTAG provides multi-channel integration but requires larger PCB area and lacks identical 0.4 mm pitch.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the ESD6116?
The ESD6116 is a single-channel bidirectional transient voltage suppressor designed specifically for electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection of high-speed data lines. It functions as a low-capacitance TVS diode that clamps voltage spikes to 20 V during 1 A transients, safeguarding sensitive interface ICs such as USB 2.0 transceivers and HDMI DDC controllers. Its operation requires no external bias or control signals - the ESD6116 activates automatically upon overvoltage detection.
Does the ESD6116 support differential signal protection?
Yes, the ESD6116 supports differential signal protection through its symmetrical A1/A2 terminal pair, which forms a single bidirectional TVS channel. This configuration allows direct placement across differential pairs like USB D+/D− or MIPI D-PHY lanes without polarity concerns. The device's matched breakdown (16 V) and clamping (20 V) characteristics ensure balanced transient suppression - a key requirement confirmed in the ESD6116 datasheet for differential interface applications.
What is the recommended PCB layout for ESD6116?
For optimal ESD performance, place the ESD6116 within 3 mm of the protected connector with minimum trace length between A1/A2 and the signal line, and connect B1/B2 directly to a solid ground plane using multiple vias. Avoid routing other signals near the ESD6116 pads. The 0.4 mm pitch WLCSP4 package requires precise stencil design (0.12 mm thickness, 0.35 mm aperture) and reflow profile matching J-STD-020. These guidelines are specified in the ESD6116 package drawing and application notes for WLCSP devices.
Is ESD6116 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the ESD6116 is Pb-free and RoHS compliant, as explicitly stated in the official onsemi datasheet (Publication Order Number: ESD6116/D, Rev. 1). The device uses lead-free solder bumps and conforms to EU Directive 2011/65/EU. Lot-specific compliance documentation and material declarations are available through onsemi's quality portal - essential for traceability in medical and automotive programs requiring full substance disclosure for ESD6116.
How does ESD6116 perform under varying bias conditions?
The ESD6116 exhibits voltage-dependent capacitance: 172 pF at 0 V bias, dropping to 66–100 pF at 5 V bias - a characteristic confirmed in Table 3 of the ESD6116 datasheet. This behavior minimizes loading on active signal lines (e.g., USB 2.0 D+ at 3.3 V) while maintaining effective ESD clamping. The shift results from depletion region widening in the integrated PN junction and is fully characterized across −30°C to +85°C operating range.
