Product details
Overview
GMF05C-HSF-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a 5-line bidirectional asymmetrical (BiAs) ESD protection diode array in the ultra-compact LLP75-6L package, rated for 5 V reverse stand-off voltage (VRWM), ±30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact/air discharge, and 12 A IEC 61000-4-5 peak pulse current. It protects high-speed data lines including USB 2.0, HDMI, and SD card interfaces with low clamping voltage (VC ≤ 12.5 V at 12 A) and low leakage (<1 μA).
For engineers reviewing the GMF05C-HSF-GS08 datasheet, GMF05C-HSF-GS08 pinout, GMF05C-HSF-GS08 application, or GMF05C-HSF-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include its BiAs-mode clamping behavior, 126 pF capacitance at 0 V (1 MHz), MSL Level 1 solderability, e4 precious-metal termination, and suitability for space-constrained portable electronics requiring robust transient immunity without signal integrity degradation.
Technical Context
The GMF05C-HSF-GS08 implements bidirectional asymmetrical (BiAs) protection: pins 1 and 3–6 serve as protected signal lines referenced to ground (pin 2), enabling independent clamping of positive transients (via reverse breakdown, VBR = 6–8 V) and negative transients (via forward conduction, VF ≤ 5.5 V at 12 A). This architecture delivers distinct clamping voltages in each polarity-critical for preserving logic thresholds in mixed-signal interfaces.
Its LLP75-6L package features a 1.6 mm × 1.05 mm footprint, 0.6 mm max height, and exposed heat sink pad for thermal dissipation. The device operates from −55 °C to +125 °C junction temperature and supports reflow up to 260 °C per J-STD-020, making it suitable for automotive infotainment and industrial handhelds where reliability under thermal cycling is essential.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Protection Lines | 5 independent channels (L1–L5), each with dedicated BiAs clamping path to ground |
| Reverse Stand-off Voltage | VRWM = 5 V - defines maximum continuous operating voltage before leakage rises |
| ESD Immunity | ±30 kV contact & air discharge (IEC 61000-4-2) - exceeds Level 4 system-level ESD requirements |
| Surge Rating | IPPM = 12 A (8/20 μs, IEC 61000-4-5) - supports robust lightning/surge immunity in portable interfaces |
| Clamping Voltage | VC ≤ 12.5 V at 12 A (reverse), VF ≤ 5.5 V at 12 A (forward) - limits voltage overshoot during transients |
| Capacitance | CD = 126 pF @ 0 V, 1 MHz - optimized for USB 2.0 (≤130 pF limit) without degrading signal rise time |
| Leakage Current | IR < 0.1 μA @ VRWM = 5 V - ensures minimal loading on battery-powered signal lines |
Pinout & Package
The GMF05C-HSF-GS08 uses the LLP75-6L surface-mount package: 1.65 mm × 1.05 mm × 0.6 mm, with an exposed thermal pad, e4 (NiPdAu) terminations, and MSL Level 1 handling. Pin 1 is marked by a dot; the device requires no special storage conditions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | L1 signal line input | Protected data line (e.g., USB D+); connected to internal BiAs diode cathode/anode pair |
| Pin 2 | Ground reference | Common cathode/anode node for all 5 protection paths; must be low-inductance PCB ground connection |
| Pin 3 | L2 signal line input | Second protected line (e.g., USB D−); electrically isolated from L1 but shares ground reference |
| Pin 4 | L3 signal line input | Third protected line (e.g., HDMI TMDS clock); identical clamping characteristics to L1/L2 |
| Pin 5 | L4 signal line input | Fourth protected line (e.g., SD card DAT0); enables compact multi-line protection without discrete devices |
| Pin 6 | L5 signal line input | Fifth protected line (e.g., SD card CMD); completes full 5-channel ESD shield for memory card interfaces |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor ESD5Z5.0T1G | Single-line SOD-523; VRWM = 5 V; IPP = 12 A; CD = 110 pF; no BiAs architecture - symmetric clamping | Requires 5 separate devices for 5-line protection; higher assembly cost and larger PCB footprint | Preferred when board layout allows discrete placement and lower total capacitance (110 pF) is prioritized over integration |
| Texas Instruments TPD4E001DRYR | 4-line LLP-10 package; VRWM = 5.5 V; IPP = 4 A per line; CD = 12 pF; integrated ESD + EMI filtering | Limited to 4 lines; lower surge rating; significantly lower capacitance suits high-speed USB 3.0 or MIPI | Selected when EMI suppression is required alongside ESD protection and design supports 4-line coverage only |
Compared with ESD5Z5.0T1G and TPD4E001DRYR, the GMF05C-HSF-GS08 uniquely delivers 5-line BiAs protection in a single LLP75-6L package with industry-leading 12 A surge rating and balanced trade-off between capacitance (126 pF) and clamping performance-making it optimal for compact, cost-sensitive USB 2.0 and SDIO designs where integration and robustness are co-priorities.

FAQ
What is the exact pin configuration and signal assignment for GMF05C-HSF-GS08?
The GMF05C-HSF-GS08 has six terminals: pin 1 (L1), pin 2 (ground), pin 3 (L2), pin 4 (L3), pin 5 (L4), and pin 6 (L5). All five signal lines connect to internal BiAs diodes referenced to the common ground pin. Pin 1 marking is indicated by a dot; the LLP75-6L package uses an exposed thermal pad not connected to any internal circuitry. Layout must maintain short, low-inductance traces from each protected line to its respective pin and direct grounding of pin 2.
Does GMF05C-HSF-GS08 support IEC 61000-4-5 surge testing at full rating?
Yes, the GMF05C-HSF-GS08 is rated for 12 A peak pulse current (IPPM) per line under IEC 61000-4-5 (8/20 μs waveform) in BiAs mode with pin 2 grounded. This rating applies individually to pins 1 and 3–6 when tested one line at a time. Simultaneous multi-line surges reduce effective per-line energy handling due to shared thermal mass, so system-level validation is recommended for multi-line stress scenarios.
How does the BiAs-mode operation of GMF05C-HSF-GS08 improve protection in bidirectional data lines?
BiAs-mode provides asymmetric clamping: negative transients are clamped near ground (VF ≤ 5.5 V) to prevent false logic-low states, while positive transients are clamped at higher voltage (VC ≤ 12.5 V) to avoid exceeding IC absolute maximum ratings. This dual-threshold behavior preserves signal integrity in protocols like USB and SDIO where both polarities carry valid data, unlike symmetric clamps that over-clamp one polarity.
What is the maximum allowable PCB trace length between GMF05C-HSF-GS08 and the protected connector?
To maintain effective ESD protection, PCB trace length from GMF05C-HSF-GS08 pins to the protected connector should be ≤3 mm. Longer traces add inductance that increases clamping voltage during fast ESD events (e.g., 0.7 ns rise time per IEC 61000-4-2), potentially allowing damaging voltage overshoot. Ground return paths must be equally short and use multiple vias to the solid ground plane beneath the LLP75-6L thermal pad.
Is GMF05C-HSF-GS08 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles and RoHS requirements?
Yes, GMF05C-HSF-GS08 is RoHS-compliant and qualified for lead-free reflow with a peak temperature of 260 °C (J-STD-020 MSL Level 1). Its e4 NiPdAu termination ensures compatibility with standard SAC305 solder paste and eliminates tin whisker risk. No pre-baking is required prior to assembly due to its unlimited floor life at ≤30 °C/60% RH.
