Product details
Overview
NNCD6.8LG-T1-AT from Renesas Electronics is a low-capacitance, quad-channel ESD protection diode in a 5-pin Mini Mold package with common-anode configuration. It delivers 6.2–7.1 V breakdown voltage, ≤7 pF capacitance at 0 V, ≤30 Ω dynamic impedance, ≤2 µA reverse leakage, and 8 kV contact ESD immunity per IEC 1000-4-2 - optimized for USB 2.0 data line protection.
For engineers reviewing the NNCD6.8LG-T1-AT datasheet, NNCD6.8LG-T1-AT pinout, NNCD6.8LG-T1-AT application, or NNCD6.8LG-T1-AT equivalent, this device offers verified high-speed interface protection where low signal distortion, compact layout, and repeatable ESD robustness are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
This quad ESD diode implements a common-anode topology with four independent cathodes (K1–K4) tied to a shared anode (A), enabling simultaneous clamping of four signal lines to ground via external series resistors or direct connection. Each channel operates independently under transient stress while sharing thermal mass within the single 5-pin package.
Designed specifically for high-frequency data buses, its 7 pF typical capacitance (measured at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz) and sub-30 Ω dynamic impedance ensure minimal insertion loss and signal integrity degradation up to 480 Mbps. The 2 W surge rating (10 µs pulse) supports multiple ESD events without parametric shift.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage | 6.2–7.1 V (min/max at IT = 5 mA); defines clamping onset threshold for reliable overvoltage suppression on high-speed lines |
| Dynamic Impedance | ≤30 Ω (at IT = 5 mA); ensures low-voltage overshoot during fast ESD transients (e.g., 8 kV contact discharge) |
| Reverse Capacitance | 7 pF typ. (VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz); preserves signal integrity on USB 2.0 differential pairs without excessive loading |
| ESD Withstand | 8 kV contact discharge per IEC 1000-4-2; validated for end-equipment compliance in consumer and industrial interfaces |
| Power Dissipation | 200 mW total (TA = 25°C); supports continuous operation in ambient temperatures up to 125°C with derating |
| Surge Rating | 2 W (t = 10 µs, single pulse); handles repetitive ESD events without permanent degradation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPD4E001DRYR | Lower capacitance (0.7 pF), but only 4 kV IEC 1000-4-2 rating; uses different package (X2SON-6) | Better for >1 Gbps interfaces (e.g., USB 3.0 SS), unsuitable for 8 kV system-level ESD compliance | Select when ultra-low capacitance outweighs ESD robustness; verify layout compatibility with 6-pin footprint |
| ESDA6V1SC6 | Same 8 kV rating and 5-pin SOT-666 package, but higher capacitance (12 pF) and no common-anode architecture | Requires individual anode routing; less optimal for tightly coupled differential pairs like USB D+/D− | Prefer when existing layout uses discrete-cathode topology or when lower cost is prioritized over layout efficiency |
Compared with TPD4E001DRYR and ESDA6V1SC6, the NNCD6.8LG-T1-AT uniquely balances 8 kV ESD immunity, 7 pF capacitance, and quad common-anode integration - making it the most suitable choice for space-constrained, certified USB 2.0 designs requiring zero-compromise transient protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for NNCD6.8LG-T1-AT?
The NNCD6.8LG-T1-AT has a specified storage temperature range of –55°C to +150°C and a maximum junction temperature of 150°C. Its power dissipation derates linearly above 25°C ambient, supporting reliable operation up to 125°C ambient when mounted on standard FR-4 with 1 cm² copper pour. Thermal performance is validated per Figure 4 (transient thermal impedance) in the original Renesas datasheet D12785EJ1V0DS00.
Does NNCD6.8LG-T1-AT support both contact and air-gap ESD testing per IEC 61000-4-2?
Yes, the NNCD6.8LG-T1-AT is rated for 8 kV contact discharge per IEC 61000-4-2. While the datasheet explicitly confirms contact discharge performance, air-gap testing is not separately specified. System-level validation is recommended for air-gap scenarios, as clamping behavior depends on PCB layout, grounding, and proximity to other components - all of which influence field coupling into the NNCD6.8LG-T1-AT's protected lines.
Can NNCD6.8LG-T1-AT be used for USB 3.0 SuperSpeed differential pairs?
No, the NNCD6.8LG-T1-AT is not recommended for USB 3.0 SuperSpeed (5 Gbps) lanes. Its 7 pF capacitance introduces unacceptable insertion loss and return loss degradation above 500 MHz. USB 3.0 requires ESD protectors with ≤0.5 pF capacitance (e.g., TPD4E001DRYR). The NNCD6.8LG-T1-AT is qualified and optimized exclusively for USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and lower-speed interfaces such as UART, I²C, and SPI.
What is the leakage current specification for NNCD6.8LG-T1-AT at 3.3 V reverse bias?
At VR = 3.3 V and TA = 25°C, the NNCD6.8LG-T1-AT exhibits ≤2 µA maximum reverse leakage current per channel, as specified in the "Electrical Characteristics" table of Renesas document D12785EJ1V0DS00. This low leakage ensures negligible impact on bus pull-up/pull-down networks and maintains valid logic thresholds in 3.3 V systems using the NNCD6.8LG-T1-AT.
Is NNCD6.8LG-T1-AT compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations?
Yes, the NNCD6.8LG-T1-AT is RoHS-compliant (lead-free, homogeneous material level) and meets REACH SVHC requirements, as confirmed by Renesas Electronics' environmental compliance documentation. The 5-pin Mini Mold package uses matte tin lead finish and halogen-free molding compound. Full substance declarations and test reports are available through Renesas' official environmental portal upon customer request for the NNCD6.8LG-T1-AT.
