Product details
Overview
ESD7008MUTAG from onsemi is an ultra-low-capacitance ESD protection diode array designed to safeguard eight high-speed data lines across four differential pairs. It delivers 0.12 pF typical I/O-to-GND capacitance, ±15 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact/air ESD rating, and 10 V clamping voltage at 1 A, enabling robust protection for voltage-sensitive interfaces including USB 3.0, HDMI, and Thunderbolt without signal integrity degradation.
For engineers reviewing the ESD7008MUTAG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device is selected for high-speed serial link protection where sub-0.15 pF capacitance, matched trace routing support, and AEC-Q101 qualification are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
The ESD7008MUTAG integrates eight unidirectional ESD protection diodes in a single UDFN18 package with flow-through routing-pins 1–11 and 13, 15, 17 assigned to I/O or GND, and pins 12, 14, 16, 18 as no-connect terminals. Its architecture supports simultaneous protection of four differential pairs without internal coupling between channels.
It operates across −55 °C to +125 °C junction temperature, features 5.0 V reverse working voltage and 5.5–6.7 V breakdown voltage per I/O-to-GND path, and maintains <1.0 nA reverse leakage at 5 V, ensuring minimal loading on high-speed AC-coupled data lanes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Capacitance (I/O to GND) | 0.12 pF typical - preserves signal integrity up to 10 Gb/s (e.g., Thunderbolt) by minimizing insertion loss and eye diagram distortion. |
| ESD Rating (IEC 61000-4-2) | ±15 kV contact & air - meets Level 4 immunity for end-equipment compliance without external shielding or layout reinforcement. |
| Clamping Voltage (1 A, 8×20 µs) | 10 V max - limits transient overvoltage to safe levels for 3.3 V and 5 V interface ICs during surge events. |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 5.5–6.7 V at 1 mA - ensures reliable turn-on before damage threshold of protected transceivers (e.g., USB 3.0 PHY). |
| Reverse Working Voltage (VRWM) | 5.0 V - compatible with standard 3.3 V and 5 V high-speed data rails while blocking normal operating voltages. |
| Junction Temp Range | −55 °C to +125 °C - supports automotive cabin and industrial display controller environments per AEC-Q101 stress testing. |
Pinout & Package
ESD7008MUTAG uses the UDFN18 (Case 517BV) package: 5.5 mm × 1.5 mm, 0.5 mm pitch, exposed thermal pad, Pb-free, RoHS-compliant. The flow-through layout enables straight-line PCB routing for differential pair symmetry and impedance control.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11 | I/O | Eight independent ESD protection paths - each connects to one data line (e.g., USB3 SSTX+/−, HDMI D0+/−). |
| 3, 6, 9, 13, 15, 17 | GND | Multiple ground terminals - only one requires PCB connection; others improve thermal dissipation and reduce ground inductance. |
| 12, 14, 16, 18 | N/C | No electrical connection - must remain unconnected on PCB to avoid parasitic coupling or EMI issues. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 4-pair (8-line) protection | Reduces component count vs. discrete diodes - simplifies layout for multi-lane interfaces like DisplayPort and V-by-One HS. |
| Flow-through routing | Enables matched-length trace routing without vias or bends - maintains differential impedance and minimizes skew in >5 Gb/s links. |
| UL 94 V-0 flammability rating | Meets safety standards for consumer and automotive enclosures - eliminates need for supplemental flame-retardant PCB material. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive infotainment and ADAS displays - includes HTOL, TC, ESD, and mechanical stress testing per automotive grade requirements. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ESD7004MUTAG | 4-line (2-pair) version with identical 0.12 pF capacitance and ±15 kV rating but half the channel count. | Suitable for USB 2.0 or dual-lane LVDS, not sufficient for full USB 3.0 or HDMI 1.4. | Select when protecting fewer differential pairs to reduce cost and board area. |
| TPD4E05U06DQAR | Texas Instruments part with 0.5 pF typical capacitance - 4× higher than ESD7008MUTAG - and same ±15 kV rating. | Acceptable for USB 2.0 or HDMI 1.3, but causes measurable eye closure above 2.5 Gb/s due to higher CJ. | Choose only if supply chain constraints require TI-sourced components and data rate ≤2.5 Gb/s. |
Compared with ESD7008MUTAG, ESD7004MUTAG reduces channel count without sacrificing per-line performance, while TPD4E05U06DQAR trades higher capacitance for broader vendor availability - making ESD7008MUTAG optimal for 5+ Gb/s differential interfaces requiring minimal signal loading.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by ESD7008MUTAG without signal degradation?
ESD7008MUTAG supports data rates up to 10 Gb/s, as validated by eye diagram testing with Thunderbolt (Figure 14), USB 3.0 (Figure 13), and HDMI 1.4 (Figure 12). Its 0.12 pF typical I/O-to-GND capacitance ensures <0.2 dB insertion loss at 2.5 GHz and preserves signal integrity in high-speed differential links where ESD7008MUTAG is deployed.
Does ESD7008MUTAG require all six GND pins to be connected on the PCB?
No - the ESD7008MUTAG datasheet explicitly states that "only minimum of one pin needs to be connected to ground for functionality of all pins." Connecting multiple GND pins (pins 3, 6, 9, 13, 15, 17) improves thermal dissipation and reduces ground loop inductance but is not mandatory for basic ESD protection operation of ESD7008MUTAG.
Is ESD7008MUTAG compliant with automotive reliability standards?
Yes - ESD7008MUTAG is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with test evidence including high-temperature operating life (HTOL), temperature cycling, and ESD stress per automotive grade requirements. This makes ESD7008MUTAG suitable for infotainment systems, digital instrument clusters, and ADAS display interfaces.
Can ESD7008MUTAG protect bidirectional data lines such as USB 3.0 SuperSpeed lanes?
Yes - ESD7008MUTAG uses unidirectional diode architecture referenced to GND, which is appropriate for AC-coupled, bidirectional high-speed differential signals like USB 3.0 SSTX+/− and SSRX+/−. Its low capacitance and fast response ensure transparent operation during both transmit and receive phases of ESD7008MUTAG-protected links.
What is the recommended PCB footprint for ESD7008MUTAG?
The official onsemi mechanical drawing (Case 517BV) specifies a 5.5 mm × 1.5 mm UDFN18 footprint with 0.5 mm pitch and an exposed thermal pad. Soldering guidelines recommend stencil aperture matching the pad dimensions and reflow profile aligned with Pb-free JEDEC J-STD-020. Reference designators and layout examples are provided in Figures 16–19 of the ESD7008MUTAG datasheet.
