Product details
Overview
NNCD6.8C-T1-AT from Renesas Electronics is an electrostatic discharge (ESD) noise clipping diode in a 2-pin Ultra Super Mini Mold package, rated for 150 mW power dissipation, with a breakdown voltage range of 6.44 V to 7.17 V at 5 mA, dynamic impedance ≤30 Ω, and ESD endurance ≥30 kV per IEC 1000-4-2. It protects external interface circuits such as parallel ports, CD-ROM connectors, and peripheral cables.
For engineers reviewing the NNCD6.8C-T1-AT datasheet, NNCD6.8C-T1-AT pinout, NNCD6.8C-T1-AT application, or NNCD6.8C-T1-AT equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage performance, low dynamic impedance under transient current, junction temperature limit of 150 °C, and compatibility with ceramic PCB mounting for high-frequency ESD suppression.
Technical Context
This device operates as a bidirectional voltage-clamping diode optimized for fast transient suppression on signal lines. Its low 3.5 V typical clamping voltage at 1 A surge current and 110 pF capacitance at 1 MHz enable effective protection without distorting high-speed digital waveforms.
The diode exhibits non-repetitive surge reverse power handling up to 85 W for 10 µs pulses and maintains stable electrical characteristics across –55 °C to +150 °C storage temperature range. Its ultra-miniature package supports dense PCB layouts in consumer and office equipment interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 6.44 V min to 7.17 V max at 5 mA - defines minimum trigger threshold for ESD clamping activation |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | ≤30 Ω at 5 mA - ensures low-voltage overshoot during fast transients |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 3.5 V typ at 1 A - limits peak line voltage during IEC 1000-4-2 contact discharge |
| Capacitance (CT) | 110 pF at 1 MHz, 0 V - preserves signal integrity on low-to-moderate speed interfaces |
| Power Dissipation (P) | 150 mW at TA = 25 °C - sets continuous thermal operating limit on standard FR4 or ceramic PCB |
| ESD Withstand | ≥30 kV per IEC 1000-4-2 - certifies robustness against human-body-model and contact-discharge events |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C max - constrains maximum allowable die temperature under sustained stress |

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 NUP4105MR6T1G | Quad-channel SOT-563 package; 12 V breakdown; 15 pF per channel; 30 kV HBM rating | Designed for multi-line protection; higher integration but larger footprint and fixed 12 V clamping | Preferred when protecting ≥4 adjacent lines with shared ground; not suitable for single-line optimization or <7 V clamping needs |
| Vishay ESDE05A1U2B | Single-line SOD-523; 5.5 V breakdown; 0.5 pF; 30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 rating | Ultra-low capacitance ideal for USB 2.0 or HDMI; lower power rating (100 W peak) and smaller thermal mass | Best for high-speed serial links where signal integrity dominates; less robust than NNCD6.8C-T1-AT for high-energy parallel bus surges |
Compared with NUP4105MR6T1G and ESDE05A1U2B, the NNCD6.8C-T1-AT offers superior energy handling (85 W surge) and optimal clamping (3.5 V) for 5 V parallel interfaces, while maintaining a compact 2-pin form factor unmatched by quad-channel alternatives and more thermally robust than ultra-low-capacitance SOD-523 devices.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the NNCD6.8C-T1-AT under IEC 1000-4-2 test conditions?
The NNCD6.8C-T1-AT achieves a typical clamping voltage of 3.5 V at 1 A surge current, measured per IEC 1000-4-2 waveform. This value reflects its ability to limit transient overvoltage on protected lines and is confirmed in the official Renesas datasheet for NNCD6.8C-T1-AT. The clamping performance remains stable across its specified operating temperature range and supports reliable protection of 5 V logic interfaces without exceeding safe voltage thresholds.
Is the NNCD6.8C-T1-AT suitable for use on high-speed USB or HDMI signal lines?
No, the NNCD6.8C-T1-AT is not recommended for USB 2.0 or HDMI due to its 110 pF capacitance at 1 MHz, which would degrade signal integrity and violate eye diagram specifications. The NNCD6.8C-T1-AT is engineered for lower-speed parallel interfaces like printer ports and CD-ROM buses. For high-speed serial links, Renesas and other manufacturers offer specialized low-capacitance ESD diodes-such as sub-1 pF devices-with different architecture and packaging than the NNCD6.8C-T1-AT.
What is the thermal resistance profile of the NNCD6.8C-T1-AT, and how does it affect PCB layout?
The NNCD6.8C-T1-AT has a transient thermal impedance of 833 °C/W (per Fig. 5 in the datasheet), indicating limited heat dissipation capability during repetitive surges. To maintain reliability, designers must mount it on ceramic PCB substrates (e.g., 10 × 7.5 × 0.75 mm) as validated in Renesas' thermal characterization. Use of FR4 without copper pour or thermal vias may cause junction temperature to exceed 150 °C during sustained stress, risking premature failure of the NNCD6.8C-T1-AT.
Does the NNCD6.8C-T1-AT meet RoHS compliance requirements?
Yes, the NNCD6.8C-T1-AT complies with the EU RoHS Directive, as confirmed by Renesas Electronics' environmental documentation and material declarations. Lead-free soldering is supported per J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) guidelines, and the device contains no restricted substances above threshold limits. Customers should verify current compliance status using Renesas' official product change notifications, as the NNCD6.8C-T1-AT falls under the Standard quality grade intended for office and consumer equipment.
Can the NNCD6.8C-T1-AT be used in automotive applications?
No, the NNCD6.8C-T1-AT is classified as a Standard quality grade device per Renesas' quality grading system and is explicitly intended for computers, office equipment, and consumer appliances-not transportation or safety-critical systems. Automotive applications require High Quality grade components with extended temperature range validation, AEC-Q200 qualification, and enhanced reliability testing. Using the NNCD6.8C-T1-AT in automotive contexts violates Renesas' defined usage scope and voids warranty and liability coverage.
