Product details
Overview
ESDAULC45-1BF4 from STMicroelectronics is a bidirectional single-line TVS diode in ST0201 package (0.60 × 0.30 mm, 0.18 mm² PCB area) designed for ESD protection of high-speed data lines. It delivers 1.5 pF typical line capacitance, 13.5 V clamping voltage at 8 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge, and 0.3 Ω dynamic resistance-enabling robust protection in smartphones and USB 2.0 interfaces without signal integrity degradation.
For engineers reviewing the ESDAULC45-1BF4 datasheet, ESDAULC45-1BF4 pinout, ESDAULC45-1BF4 application, or ESDAULC45-1BF4 equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low capacitance (<3 pF), sub-14 V clamping under 8/20 µs transients, ST0201 footprint compatibility, ±30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 compliance, and ECOPACK2 environmental compliance.
Technical Context
This device implements a silicon avalanche structure optimized for fast transient response (sub-nanosecond turn-on) and minimal parasitic capacitance. Its bidirectional configuration protects both positive and negative ESD events on a single I/O line without requiring external biasing.
The ST0201 package integrates an anode-cathode-anode layout across two terminals, enabling symmetrical clamping behavior with matched VBR (5.8–8.5 V) and leakage <70 nA at 3 V, supporting low-power portable systems where standby current matters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Line capacitance | 1.5 pF typ. @ 1 MHz - preserves signal integrity on USB 2.0, HDMI, and MIPI D-PHY lines |
| Clamping voltage | 13.5 V @ 8 kV contact discharge - limits downstream IC stress below 15 V absolute max ratings |
| Dynamic resistance | 0.3 Ω typ. - reduces voltage overshoot during fast ESD pulses (tr < 1 ns) |
| ESD rating | ±30 kV air/contact per IEC 61000-4-2 level 4 - exceeds industrial immunity requirements |
| Breakdown voltage | 5.8 V min @ 1 mA - ensures reliable conduction before system-level damage thresholds |
| Leakage current | 70 nA max @ 3 V - avoids battery drain in always-on mobile sensor interfaces |
Pinout & Package
ESDAULC45-1BF4 uses the ST0201 package: 0.60 × 0.30 × 0.25 mm, 2-terminal surface-mount device with no polarity marking; terminals are symmetrically arranged for bidirectional operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Terminal 1 | Anode | Connects to protected I/O line; forms one side of bidirectional avalanche junction |
| Terminal 2 | Cathode | Connects to GND; completes ESD current path during both polarities of transient |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low line capacitance | 1.5 pF typ. - enables use on 480 Mbps USB 2.0 and 1.5 Gbps MIPI D-PHY without eye diagram degradation |
| Bidirectional clamping | Matched VBR = 5.8–8.5 V - eliminates need for dual-diode configurations or polarity-aware routing |
| ST0201 footprint | 0.18 mm² PCB area - saves >50% board space vs. standard 0201 packages in dense smartphone front-end layouts |
| ECOPACK2 compliance | Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant materials - meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and IPC-1752A reporting requirements |
Applications
| Smartphone Front-Panel Interface | USB 2.0 Data Line Protection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPD2E001DRYR | 0.9 pF typ. capacitance, 12.5 V clamping, SOT-5X3 (1.0 × 0.6 mm) | Larger footprint (3.3× larger PCB area), lower clamping but higher cost | Preferred when <1 pF is mandatory and board space allows 0.6 mm length |
| ESD5Z3.3T5G | 3.3 V standoff, 10.5 V clamping, SOD-523 (1.3 × 0.8 mm) | Lower voltage rating limits use to 3.3 V I/O only; 4× larger footprint | Suitable for legacy 3.3 V logic rails where tighter voltage margin is acceptable |
Compared with TPD2E001DRYR and ESD5Z3.3T5G, ESDAULC45-1BF4 uniquely balances 1.5 pF capacitance, 13.5 V clamping, and 0.18 mm² area-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-speed interfaces where both bandwidth and ESD margin must coexist.

FAQ
What is the maximum peak pulse current ESDAULC45-1BF4 can handle?
The device supports 10 A peak pulse current under IEC 61000-4-2 8/20 µs waveform conditions. This rating is validated per the absolute maximum ratings table in DS10172 Rev 2, and reflects sustained clamping performance without thermal runaway up to 140 W peak power dissipation.
Does ESDAULC45-1BF4 require external biasing or control signals?
No. ESDAULC45-1BF4 is a passive, bidirectional TVS diode with no control pins or bias requirements. It operates solely via avalanche breakdown triggered by overvoltage transients, making it compatible with any DC-coupled I/O line operating between –0.3 V and 5.5 V.
Can ESDAULC45-1BF4 be used on 5 V logic interfaces?
Yes. With a minimum breakdown voltage of 5.8 V and 3 V stand-off rating, it safely protects 5 V tolerant I/Os such as USB PHYs and SD card interfaces. Its 13.5 V clamping ensures downstream components remain below their 16 V absolute maximum ratings during ESD events.
How does the ST0201 package affect reflow soldering yield?
The ST0201 footprint requires precise stencil aperture design (75 µm thickness, 0.230 mm opening) and placement force ≤1.0 N to prevent solder paste squeeze-out. ST recommends closed vias, symmetrical pad layout, and strict reflow profile adherence (peak 240–245 °C, 60–90 s above 210 °C) to achieve >99.5% first-pass yield.
