Product details
Overview
IP4303CX4/LF,135 from NXP is a quad-channel unidirectional ESD protection diode array in a 4-pin chip-scale package (CSP), rated for 5.5 V reverse stand-off voltage, 12 A peak pulse current (8/20 µs), and < 0.5 pF line capacitance per channel. It protects high-speed USB 2.0, HDMI, and SD-card interfaces against IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (±15 kV contact / ±20 kV air) transients.
For engineers reviewing the IP4303CX4/LF,135 datasheet, IP4303CX4/LF,135 pinout, IP4303CX4/LF,135 application, or IP4303CX4/LF,135 equivalent, this device serves as a femtofarad-level ESD clamp for space-constrained portable electronics requiring sub-1 pF signal integrity preservation and rail-to-rail transient suppression without loading high-frequency data lines.
Technical Context
The IP4303CX4/LF,135 integrates four independent low-capacitance silicon avalanche diodes in a single CSP with anode-cathode-anode-cathode (A-C-A-C) terminal configuration. Each channel features a dedicated cathode tied to VCC (supply rail), enabling rail-to-rail clamping between I/O and VCC or ground.
It operates with a typical leakage current of 10 nA at 5.5 V and triggers at 6.5 V (VBR), clamping to ≤12 V at 12 A (8/20 µs). The device is qualified to AEC-Q101 and supports reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020D.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| ESD Rating | IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4: ±15 kV contact, ±20 kV air – ensures robust system-level ESD immunity without external shielding. |
| Reverse Stand-off Voltage (VRWM) | 5.5 V – matches standard 3.3 V and 5 V I/O rails while maintaining safe margin below logic VCC. |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | ≤12 V at 12 A (8/20 µs) – limits transient overvoltage to safe levels for downstream 3.3 V tolerant receivers. |
| Line Capacitance (Cline) | 0.35 pF typ @ 0 V – preserves signal integrity on USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and SDIO interfaces without jitter or rise-time degradation. |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 10 nA max @ 5.5 V – avoids DC loading of high-impedance sensor or audio bias networks. |
| Package | 4-pin CSP (chip-scale package), 1.0 × 0.6 × 0.4 mm – enables direct placement under connectors or in tight board areas near I/O ports. |
Pinout & Package
Package: CX4 (4-pin chip-scale package), dimensions 1.0 mm × 0.6 mm × 0.4 mm, bottom-side solder pads, no leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode 1 | Protected I/O line 1 input; connects to data line (e.g., USB D+). |
| 2 | Cathode 1 / VCC | Clamp rail connection; ties to local 3.3 V or 5 V supply for rail-to-rail protection. |
| 3 | Anode 2 | Protected I/O line 2 input; connects to second data line (e.g., USB D−). |
| 4 | Cathode 2 / VCC | Shared clamp rail; electrically common with Pin 2 for dual-line protection with single supply tie. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Femtofarad-level capacitance | 0.35 pF typical per channel enables full-speed USB 2.0 compliance without equalization or layout compensation. |
| Rail-to-rail clamping architecture | Dual cathode pins tied to VCC allow bidirectional transient suppression between I/O and power rail, eliminating need for ground-return path. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive infotainment and telematics modules requiring extended temperature operation (−40 °C to +125 °C). |
| Chip-scale footprint | 1.0 × 0.6 mm area occupies < 25% of SOT23-6 area, enabling placement directly beneath micro-USB or micro-SD connectors. |
| Low leakage & high VRWM | 10 nA leakage at 5.5 V prevents battery drain in always-on mobile accessories; 5.5 V VRWM supports 5 V tolerant I/O without derating. |
Applications
| USB 2.0 Interface Protection | HDMI DDC Channel Protection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protecting USB 2.0 D+/D− differential pair in smartphone docking stations against repeated hot-plug ESD events.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ESD5V3U2U-2/TR | 0.5 pF typ capacitance; 5.3 V VRWM; SOD-882 package (1.0 × 0.6 mm, but 0.37 mm height) | Higher capacitance limits use to ≤ 240 Mbps interfaces; taller profile may interfere with shield cans. | Prefer when existing layout uses SOD-882 footprints and 5.3 V VRWM suffices for 3.3 V systems. |
| TPD2E001DRYR | 1.0 pF typ capacitance; 5.5 V VRWM; 6-pin SOT-563 package; includes two additional ground pins | Higher capacitance degrades USB 2.0 eye margin; larger 1.6 × 1.2 mm footprint requires PCB redesign. | Choose only if design already uses SOT-563 and can accommodate higher Cline with receiver equalization. |
Compared with ESD5V3U2U-2/TR and TPD2E001DRYR, the IP4303CX4/LF,135 delivers the lowest verified line capacitance (0.35 pF) in the smallest volume (0.24 mm³), making it uniquely suitable for next-generation ultra-thin mobile and automotive displays where both signal fidelity and board space are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for the IP4303CX4/LF,135?
The IP4303CX4/LF,135 is rated for junction temperatures from −40 °C to +125 °C and is AEC-Q101 qualified, making it suitable for under-hood automotive applications and thermally dense portable electronics where ambient temperatures exceed 85 °C. Its thermal resistance (RθJA) is 290 °C/W in standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions.
Does the IP4303CX4/LF,135 require external decoupling capacitors for ESD clamping?
No, the IP4303CX4/LF,135 does not require external decoupling capacitors. Its rail-to-rail architecture uses internal diode paths between I/O pins and the VCC rail (Pins 2 and 4), relying on the system's existing power rail capacitance (typically ≥100 nF near the connector) to absorb transient energy. Adding extra capacitance may slow clamping response.
Can the IP4303CX4/LF,135 protect bidirectional data lines like I²C without affecting communication?
Yes - the IP4303CX4/LF,135 supports bidirectional protocols such as I²C because its unidirectional diodes clamp transients toward VCC, not ground. This preserves the open-drain pull-up behavior: normal logic 'high' is maintained by the external resistor, while ESD events are shunted to VCC without disrupting bus arbitration or clock stretching. Leakage remains below 10 nA at 3.3 V.
Is the IP4303CX4/LF,135 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes, the IP4303CX4/LF,135 is fully compatible with lead-free reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020D, supporting peak temperatures up to 260 °C for 30 seconds. Its CX4 chip-scale package uses NiPdAu surface finish and withstands multiple reflow cycles without delamination or parameter shift.
How does the clamping voltage of IP4303CX4/LF,135 compare to standard TVS diodes in the same application?
The IP4303CX4/LF,135 clamps to ≤12 V at 12 A (8/20 µs), significantly lower than generic 5.5 V TVS diodes (often >18 V at same current). This tighter clamping window ensures downstream 3.3 V logic ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings during ESD strikes, reducing risk of latent damage or functional interruption in real-world use.
