Product details
Overview
MAX3206EEBL+T from Maxim Integrated is a six-channel, low-capacitance ESD protection diode array designed to safeguard high-speed data I/O lines in portable electronics. It delivers ±15kV HBM, ±8kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact, and ±15kV air-gap ESD protection with 5pF per channel input capacitance, 1nA max leakage, and operation across +0.9V to +5.5V supply range - optimized for cell phone connectors and SVGA video interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the MAX3206EEBL+T datasheet, MAX3206EEBL+T pinout, MAX3206EEBL+T application, or MAX3206EEBL+T equivalent, key selection criteria include channel count (6), ultra-low capacitance (5pF), IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 compliance, WLP package footprint (1.52mm × 1.52mm, 9-bump), and clamping voltage performance under ±15kV air-gap discharge (±100V).
Technical Context
The MAX3206EEBL+T implements a dual-diode steering architecture per channel: one diode clamps positive transients to VCC, the other steers negative transients to GND. Each I/O line connects directly to a pair of silicon diodes with forward voltage ≤0.95V at 10mA, enabling fast response to ESD events without external biasing.
It operates within -40°C to +85°C and requires no external components beyond a 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor between VCC and GND. Its 9-bump WLP package (W91B1+5) places all six I/O terminals, VCC, and GND on bottom-side bumps - eliminating bond wires and minimizing parasitic inductance critical for sub-nanosecond ESD pulse handling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| ESD Protection Level | ±15kV Human Body Model - withstands direct human touch discharge without latch-up or degradation |
| IEC 61000-4-2 Compliance | ±8kV contact / ±15kV air-gap - meets Level 4 immunity for industrial and consumer end-equipment certification |
| Channel Count | 6 independent ESD-protected I/O channels - matches full SVGA RGBHV or multi-lane mobile connector pinouts |
| Input Capacitance | 5pF per channel at 5V bias - preserves signal integrity on >480Mbps USB 2.0 or 85MHz SVGA video lines |
| Leakage Current | ±1nA max at 0°C to +50°C - avoids DC loading on high-impedance sensor or audio I/O circuits |
| Supply Voltage Range | +0.9V to +5.5V - supports single-supply operation from Li-ion battery (3.0–4.2V) or 3.3V/5V system rails |
| Clamp Voltage (Air-Gap) | ±100V at 45A peak - limits transient overvoltage seen by downstream PHY or controller during worst-case IEC test |
Pinout & Package
MAX3206EEBL+T uses a 9-bump Wafer-Level Package (WLP), outline W91B1+5, measuring 1.52mm × 1.52mm with 0.4mm bump pitch. The package is RoHS-compliant and features solder bumps on the bottom side only - no leads or exposed pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1, A3, B1, B3, C1, C3 | I/O1–I/O6 | Six independent ESD-protected signal terminals - each pairs with internal diodes to VCC and GND |
| A2 | GND | Primary ground reference for ESD current return path - must connect to low-inductance system ground plane |
| B2 | VCC | Power rail for positive transient clamping - requires local 0.1µF ceramic bypass to GND |
Key Features

| 1.52mm × 1.52mm WLP footprint | Fits within tight spacing of micro-USB, HDMI-Mini, or SVGA connector footprints - no routing congestion |
Applications
| Cell Phone Connectors | SVGA Video Interfaces |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protecting micro-USB, HDMI-Mini, or proprietary docking ports in smartphones against repeated plug/unplug ESD events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end ESD clamp placed between connector pins and baseband/application processor USB/UART/MIPI lines. Use Value: Prevents field failures caused by ±8kV contact discharge during user handling - validated per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4. |
Use Scenario: Shielding RGBHV analog video signals in portable projectors or docking stations from cable-discharge events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance shunt protector on each of the five SVGA lines (R/G/B/H/VSYNC) before ADC input stage. Use Value: 5pF/channel capacitance avoids color skew or timing jitter - maintains <1ns differential skew across RGB channels. |
| USB 2.0 High-Speed Ports | Industrial Handheld Terminals |
|
Use Scenario: Adding secondary ESD protection to USB 2.0 upstream/downstream ports in embedded controllers where internal PHY ESD margin is marginal. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone ESD array placed adjacent to USB connector, before series 27Ω resistors and PHY IC. Use Value: Clamps ±15kV HBM transients to <±25V peak at PHY pins - extends lifetime of cost-sensitive USB transceivers. |
Use Scenario: Hardening RS-232/RS-485 serial interfaces and GPIO buttons on ruggedized handheld scanners used in warehouses. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Multi-channel protector for 6-pin accessory port carrying power, UART, I²C, and reset signals. Use Value: Single 9-bump WLP replaces six 0402 TVS diodes - improves assembly yield and reduces BOM count by 83%. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPD6E05U06DBVR | 6-channel, 5.5V max, 0.5pF lower capacitance (4.5pF), but rated only to ±12kV HBM and ±8kV IEC contact | Limited to consumer-grade USB 2.0 ports - not certified for ±15kV air-gap discharge required in medical or industrial enclosures | Select when lowest possible capacitance is critical and IEC air-gap compliance is not mandated. |
| SP3206-01UTG | 6-channel, same ±15kV HBM/IEC ratings, but 6.5pF capacitance and 2.5mm × 2.5mm SOT-563 package | Requires 3× larger PCB area and introduces ~1.2nH additional trace inductance - degrades clamp response for <1ns ESD edges | Choose only if WLP reflow capability is unavailable and board space permits larger footprint. |
Compared with TPD6E05U06DBVR and SP3206-01UTG, MAX3206EEBL+T uniquely balances IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 compliance, 5pF capacitance, and 1.52mm² WLP size - making it the only option qualified for space-constrained, certified industrial SVGA or smartphone connector designs.

FAQ
What is the exact package type and dimensions of MAX3206EEBL+T?
MAX3206EEBL+T uses a 9-bump Wafer-Level Package (WLP) with outline code W91B1+5, measuring 1.52mm × 1.52mm and 0.4mm bump pitch. It has no leads or exposed pad - all connections are bottom-side solder bumps. This matches the "EEBL" suffix in the part number, which denotes the 9-bump WLP variant per Maxim's ordering guide.
Does MAX3206EEBL+T require an external bypass capacitor, and if so, what value and placement is recommended?
Yes, MAX3206EEBL+T requires a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between VCC and GND. Maxim specifies this must be a low-ESR X7R or C0G dielectric type, placed as close as physically possible to the VCC and GND bumps - ideally within 2mm trace length - to minimize inductance and ensure effective absorption of ESD charge during contact discharge events.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of MAX3206EEBL+T under IEC 61000-4-2 air-gap discharge, and how is it measured?
Under ±15kV IEC 61000-4-2 air-gap discharge, MAX3206EEBL+T clamps to ±100V peak (VC) at 45A peak current. This value is measured per Figure 1 in the datasheet using idealized conditions (L1 = L2 = L3 = 0); actual board layout inductance will increase effective clamp voltage, so low-inductance routing is mandatory to achieve this spec.
Can MAX3206EEBL+T be used on 5V-tolerant I/O lines operating at 3.3V supply?
Yes, MAX3206EEBL+T supports supply voltages from +0.9V to +5.5V, making it fully compatible with 3.3V systems. Its clamping behavior scales with VCC: for a 3.3V rail, positive transients clamp near VCC + VF ≈ 4.25V, while negative transients clamp near –VF ≈ –0.65V - well within safe margins for 3.3V logic interfaces.
Is MAX3206EEBL+T RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, MAX3206EEBL+T is RoHS-compliant and lead-free. The "+T" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes lead(Pb)-free packaging per Maxim's ordering nomenclature, and the device meets JEDEC J-STD-609 Category 1a marking requirements for homogeneous material content.
