Product details
Overview
The IP4223CZ6 from NXP Semiconductors is a discrete ESD protection diode array designed for high-speed serial interfaces, featuring four pairs of rail-to-rail diodes plus an integrated Zener diode for supply-line clamping. It delivers ±8 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact ESD protection with ultra-low 1.5 pF I/O-to-GND capacitance and operates across –40 °C to +85 °C ambient, making it suitable for USB 2.0, DVI, HDMI, and IEEE1394 data line protection.
For engineers reviewing the IP4223CZ6 datasheet, IP4223CZ6 pinout, IP4223CZ6 application, or IP4223CZ6 equivalent, key selection criteria include low-capacitance signal integrity preservation, rail-to-rail clamping architecture independent of supply voltage, dual-USB-port integration capability, and TSOP6 (SOT457) package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The IP4223CZ6 implements a hybrid protection topology: four bidirectional ESD diodes (pins 1/3/4/6 to GND) provide low-capacitance signal path clamping, while a dedicated Zener diode (pin 5 to pin 2) handles VBUS supply-line transient suppression. This decouples signal and power protection paths without requiring external biasing.
All I/O pins support 0–5.5 V operating voltage range and exhibit <100 nA reverse leakage at 3 V, enabling use in battery-powered portable devices. The rail-to-rail configuration ensures clamping occurs between I/O and GND regardless of VP voltage level, eliminating dependency on stable supply rails during ESD events.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SP1001-02UTG | Lower 0.6 pF capacitance but only ±6 kV ESD rating; uses different SOT-23-6 footprint with non-identical pinout. | Preferred for ultra-high-speed (>1 Gbps) SerDes where sub-1 pF is mandatory; unsuitable for VBUS clamping due to lack of integrated Zener. | Select SP1001-02UTG only when signal bandwidth exceeds USB 2.0 and separate VBUS protection is already implemented. |
| TPD2E001DRYR | Same 1.5 pF capacitance and ±8 kV rating, but uses 6-pin X2SON package (1.0 mm × 1.0 mm); lacks dedicated VP pin - relies on internal VCC clamping. | Better suited for space-constrained IoT sensor hubs; requires external 3.3 V supply for active clamping mode, unlike IP4223CZ6's supply-independent operation. | Choose TPD2E001DRYR when board area is critical and a stable 3.3 V rail is available; avoid if VBUS-only systems or supply-free operation is required. |
Compared with SP1001-02UTG and TPD2E001DRYR, the IP4223CZ6 uniquely combines supply-independent rail-to-rail clamping, integrated VBUS Zener protection, and proven USB 2.0 interoperability in a standard TSOP6 footprint - simplifying design validation for dual-port interface protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for the IP4223CZ6?
The IP4223CZ6 supports an input voltage range of 0 V to 5.5 V across all I/O pins, as specified in its limiting values table. This allows safe integration into both 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without derating. The Zener diode on pin 5 has a breakdown voltage of 6–9 V, ensuring reliable VBUS clamping above nominal 5 V levels while remaining inactive during normal operation. This dual-range capability makes the IP4223CZ6 suitable for mixed-voltage interface protection in modern portable electronics.
Does the IP4223CZ6 require an external power supply to function?
No, the IP4223CZ6 operates without any external power supply. Its rail-to-rail ESD diodes function passively between I/O pins and GND, and the integrated Zener diode activates only during overvoltage transients on the VP pin. This supply-independent behavior enables deployment in unpowered or battery-backed ports such as USB On-The-Go (OTG) accessories and always-on charging circuits. The IP4223CZ6 remains fully functional even when the host system is powered down, providing continuous ESD immunity.
Can the IP4223CZ6 protect both data and power lines simultaneously?
Yes, the IP4223CZ6 is explicitly designed for simultaneous protection of data and power lines. Pins 1, 3, 4, and 6 provide ultra-low-capacitance ESD clamping for four signal lines (e.g., two USB differential pairs), while pin 5 (VP) and pin 2 (GND) form a dedicated Zener-based clamping path for VBUS or other supply rails. This dual-path architecture eliminates the need for separate TVS diodes on power and signal lines, reducing component count and PCB area. The IP4223CZ6 thus delivers complete port-level protection in a single 6-pin package.
Is the IP4223CZ6 compatible with automated SMT assembly processes?
Yes, the IP4223CZ6 uses the industry-standard SOT457 (TSOP6) package, which is fully compatible with standard reflow and wave soldering processes. Its 0.95 mm lead pitch, 3.1 mm × 2.7 mm body size, and defined solder land patterns (per Figures 3 and 4 in the datasheet) ensure reliable placement and joint formation using Type 3 or Type 4 solder paste. The device is rated for peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C per JEDEC J-STD-020, supporting mainstream lead-free manufacturing flows without reliability degradation. This makes the IP4223CZ6 suitable for high-volume production of consumer electronics.
How does the IP4223CZ6 compare to discrete ESD diode solutions in terms of board space?
The IP4223CZ6 reduces board space by consolidating protection for four signal lines and one supply line into a single 3.1 mm × 2.7 mm SOT457 package. Equivalent discrete solutions would require at least four 0402 or 0603 ESD diodes plus a separate Zener or TVS for VBUS - occupying >12 mm² total area versus the IP4223CZ6's 8.4 mm² footprint. Additionally, the integrated routing eliminates interconnect traces between discrete components, further shrinking effective layout area. For space-constrained designs like smartphones and ultrabooks, this consolidation directly translates to higher routing density and lower layer count requirements in the IP4223CZ6 implementation.
