Product details
Overview
ESD8118MUTAG from onsemi is a unidirectional, low-capacitance ESD protection diode array designed to safeguard four high-speed differential data pairs (eight I/O lines) against IEC 61000−4−2 Level 4 ESD events. It delivers 0.35 pF max junction capacitance (I/O-to-GND), 3.3 V reverse working voltage, and clamps ±8 kV contact ESD to ≤11.4 V (positive) and ≤8.0 V (negative), enabling robust protection for HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort interfaces without signal integrity degradation.
For engineers reviewing the ESD8118MUTAG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include ultra-low capacitance for >6 Gb/s data rates, flow-through UDFN10 layout compatibility, verified clamping performance under IEC 61000−4−2 and TLP testing, and RoHS-compliant Pb-free packaging suitable for high-density PCBs in consumer video interfaces.
Technical Context
The ESD8118MUTAG implements Low Voltage Punch Through (LVPT) technology, optimized for fast turn-on and soft-failure protection of sub-28 nm geometry ICs. Its unidirectional architecture provides precise clamping only during overvoltage transients while maintaining minimal leakage (<1.0 µA at 3.3 V).
It features a flow-through UDFN10 package with matched I/O pin placement (Pins 1,3,4,6,7,8,9,10) and dual GND terminals (Pins 2 & 5), enabling symmetrical trace routing for differential pairs. The device operates across −55°C to +125°C junction temperature and supports reflow up to 260°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| Operating Temperature | −55°C to +125°C - Supports deployment in automotive infotainment and industrial display modules. |
Pinout & Package
ESD8118MUTAG uses the UDFN10 (Case 517CY) package: 3.2 mm × 1.2 mm, 0.5 mm pitch, 0.55 mm max height, with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected). Flow-through layout minimizes stub length and preserves differential impedance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 | I/O (anode-cathode path) | Eight protected signal lines - each pin connects to one side of a differential pair (e.g., HDMI D0+, D0−, CLK+, CLK−, etc.). |
| 2, 5 | GND | Dual ground terminals - provide low-inductance return paths; minimum one required, both recommended for optimal ESD current shunting. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| LVPT Technology | Enables sub-1 ns turn-on response and low snapback voltage, protecting against recoverable "soft failures" in advanced CMOS nodes. |
| Flow-Through Pinout | Allows straight-line PCB routing between connector and SoC, eliminating stubs and preserving 100 Ω differential impedance for HDMI/DP lanes. |
| 0.35 pF Max Capacitance | Minimizes signal distortion and eye closure at 6 Gb/s (HDMI 2.0), validated via comparative eye diagram testing. |
| Pb-Free & RoHS Compliant | Meets global environmental regulations and supports lead-free reflow profiles up to 260°C for automated assembly. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NUP4114MUTAG | Quad-channel (4-line), 0.5 pF typical capacitance, higher clamping (~15 V @ 8 A), same UDFN8 package. | Limited to 3 Gb/s interfaces (e.g., HDMI 1.4); insufficient for HDMI 2.0 6 Gb/s due to higher capacitance-induced loss. | Select when protecting lower-speed interfaces with tighter cost targets and relaxed capacitance requirements. |
| ESD8008MUTAG | Eight-channel SCR-based device, 0.55 pF max, lower holding voltage (VHOLD = 2.5 V), higher peak current rating (IPP = 20 A). | Better suited for high-energy surge environments (e.g., industrial HMI), but higher capacitance limits use to ≤4.5 Gb/s applications. | Prefer for systems requiring deeper snapback and thermal failure protection, accepting trade-off in bandwidth support. |
Compared with NUP4114MUTAG and ESD8008MUTAG, ESD8118MUTAG uniquely balances ultra-low 0.35 pF capacitance with eight-channel coverage and LVPT-speed turn-on-making it the only option qualified for HDMI 2.0 and DP 1.4 full-rate protection without signal degradation.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for ESD8118MUTAG?
The ESD8118MUTAG has an operating junction temperature range of −55°C to +125°C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This allows reliable deployment in automotive infotainment head units, industrial display controllers, and consumer AV equipment subject to wide ambient thermal swings. The device maintains its 0.35 pF capacitance and clamping performance across this full range, with derating not required up to +125°C junction.
Does ESD8118MUTAG support bidirectional ESD protection?
No, ESD8118MUTAG is a unidirectional ESD protection diode array. Its internal structure is optimized for clamping positive transients from I/O to GND only. For bidirectional protection, external circuitry (e.g., back-to-back configuration or complementary devices) is required. The datasheet explicitly defines its operation as unidirectional in the Electrical Characteristics section and Figure 11 CV curve.
How does the UDFN10 flow-through layout benefit HDMI 2.0 designs?
The UDFN10 flow-through layout of ESD8118MUTAG enables straight-line PCB routing between HDMI connector pins and SoC pads, eliminating stubs and minimizing parasitic inductance. This preserves 100 Ω differential impedance for all four TMDS lanes and the clock pair, directly contributing to the measured <0.03 dB insertion loss at 3 GHz and intact 6 Gb/s eye diagrams shown in Figure 14 of the official datasheet.
Is ESD8118MUTAG compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, ESD8118MUTAG is Pb-free, halogen-free/BFR-free, and RoHS compliant. Its package supports peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds, fully compatible with standard lead-free soldering profiles (e.g., IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020). The device marking "MUTAG" includes the "G" suffix denoting Pb-free construction, and thermal validation is documented in the package outline drawing (Issue O, 31 JUL 2014).
What IEC 61000−4−2 test levels does ESD8118MUTAG meet?
ESD8118MUTAG meets IEC 61000−4−2 Level 4 for both contact (±15 kV) and air (±15 kV) discharge, as stated in the Features section and confirmed in the Maximum Ratings table. Its clamping performance is characterized at ±8 kV contact (equivalent to Level 4) with VC ≤11.4 V (positive) and ≤8.0 V (negative) under 16 A TLP conditions, ensuring system-level pass compliance when properly laid out per Figure 15 guidelines.
